American Society of Mechanical Engineers – RO Protection with DMI65®
By Quantum FiltrationSouthport Power Plant, North Carolina, installed three wells to provide an alternative water supply to address the increased costs associated with the use of city water. The well water quality required the addition of two 300 gpm reverse osmosis (RO) units as pretreatment for the ion exchange demineralizers.
The original well water design, however, did not include measures to address iron in the water. The iron contained in the well water supply resulted in fouling to the cartridge filter elements and RO membranes.
