The water then passes the sanitization port and through one. which measures the conductivity of the water. the purified water is delivered to a treated water reservoir. at 15°C and produces 7. which split the flow into permeate and concentrate streams. Finally. A graphics screen displays the system status and provides control by means of three function buttons. or is pumped by means of a feed water pump (optional). The pre-treatment cartridge has been designed to protect the reverse osmosis cartridges from particulate/colloidal matter and excessive free chlorine.2 Process Description The PURELAB Prima process links two purification technologies. The unit is designed to operate from a good quality potable water supply. Page 4 PURELAB Prima 7/15/20 Version 1 – 01/12/00 . The permeate water is passed through a Water quality sensor. The water is processed and treated by the PURELAB Prima unit as follows: Potable water enters through a strainer and inlet solenoid valve at either regulated mains water pressure. the unit has an in-built automated auto-rinse cycle. The permeate water is further purified whilst the waste concentrate stream is passed to drain. adsorption and also incorporates an optional RO feed water boost pump. which may be present in the incoming feedwater. 15 or 20 liters per hour of purified reverse osmosis grade water which is delivered to a treated water reservoir. two or three reverse osmosis cartridges. The auto-rinse cycle is performed every time the process is initiated and consists of a 1 minute high flow rinse to drain across the reverse osmosis cartridges. set up in series. and passes through the pretreatment cartridge. reverse osmosis. To ensure that the quality of the purified outlet water from the unit is maintained at its highest level.
