    This standard operating procedure outlines the steps for operating a reverse osmosis water treatment plant. The operator is responsible for running the pretreatment systems, maintaining log books, and adjusting the reverse osmosis system to operate between 220-230 PSI. Safety precautions include not exceeding 250 PSI pressure, pretreating water to less than 17 PPM hardness, using hearing protection due to pump noise, and ensuring proper grounding of electrical systems. The procedure details starting the system, adjusting the rejection valve pressure, flushing the product line, and shutting down operations.

    1. PURPOSE
    The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps involved in the operation of
    Reverse Osmosis Plant.

    2. SCOPE
    The scope of this SOP is to determine operation and adjustment of operating
    parameters of Reverse Osmosis plant

    3. RESPONSIBILITIES
    3.1 Operator is responsible to operate the whole system, including operation
    of pre-treatment systems and maintaining of log books.
    4. REFERENCES
    Operating manual of Reverse Osmosis system, model

    5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
    5.1 When the unit is not running, do not open the valve of feed pump.
    5.2 Do not allow system-operating pressure to exceed 250 PSI. It may
    damage RO membrane. System should be operated between 220 to 230
    PSI
    5.3 Do not feed hard water of hardness more then 17 PPM to system because
    it results in scale formation on RO membrane. (This happens when
    softener ran out)
    5.4 During operation noise level of RO pump reaches as high as 88d.
    Therefore operator must use earplugs.
    5.5 Make sure all electrical systems are properly grounded. Follow up
    electrical rules.

    6. PROCEDURE
    6.1 Check valves of sand filter carbon filter, and softener to see if they are in
    correct position. Open 3, 8, 12, and 21 if softener no 1 is running and
    open 3, 8, 16, and 13 if softener no 2 is running.
    6.2 Open drain valve at product line for initial flushing.
    6.3 Open the valve of feed pump completely.
    6.4 Turn the main power switch of RO to “ON” position.
    6.5 The feed water pressure gauge of RO system should show reading
    between 20-40 psi.

    6.6 Wait for 30 seconds, after 30 sec the “RO RUN” light will lit.
    6.7 Now press the “RO RESET” located behind the RO unit, this will start the
    system.
    6.8 The system operating pressure gauge should show some reading. Use
    rejection control valve to adjust the pressure to 220 psi. (Note:- Never
    allow system-operating pressure to exceed 250 psi).
    6.9 Using reject control valve, make sure that system operating pressure
    remain 220 psi, because it keep changing during first 10 minutes of
    operation.
    6.10 After three minutes of flushing open product line valve to under ground
    storage tank and close drain valve of product line.
    6.11 To shut down the system first shut down RO unit and then close valve of
    feed pump.
    6.12 Write the status of two softeners in the log book for next day operation.
