    RECOVERY (%)
    Recovery = Permeate flow x 100
    Feed flow

    = 25 m3/h x 100
    38.5 m3/h

    Recovery = 65%
    COMONLY USED CALCULATION IN
    R.O. SYSTEM

    SALT PASSAGE (%)


    Salt passage = Permeate salt concentration x 100
    Feed salt concentration

    = 80 ppm x 100
    6500 ppm

    Salt passage = 1.2 %


    COMONLY USED CALCULATION IN
    R.O. SYSTEM

    SALT REJECTION (%)


    Salt rejection = 100 - Salt passage

    = 100 - 1.2%

    Salt rejection = 98.8 %

    R.O. SYSTEM

    CHEMICAL DOSING SAMPLE CALCULATION


    To dose 1.5 mg/l of chlorine on the feed line with a raw water feed flow of
    924 m3 per day, we should consider the strength of Sodium Hypochlorite
    which is 12% Cl2, to calculate the required quantity.

    Example:
    Feed flow = 924 m3 per day
    Required dosage =1.5 mg/l of chlorine (Cl2)
    Sodium Hypochlorite strength =12% (Cl2)
    Specific gravity =1.2
    of Sodium Hypochlorite
    COMONLY USED CALCULATION IN
    R.O. SYSTEM
    = PPM x Flow (m3/hr) x 24
    1000

    = 1.5 mg/l x 924 m3/day


    1000

    = 1.4 kg/day (of 100% Cl2)

    = 1.4 kg/day (of 100% Cl2)


    0.12 (12% Cl2 Sodium Hypochlorite)

    = 11.7 kg/day, of Sodium Hypochlorite


    COMONLY USED CALCULATION IN
    R.O. SYSTEM

    To convert, kg/day to l/day (liter per day) divide the kg/day with the
    chemical specific gravity.

    = 11.7 kg/day Sodium Hypochlorite


    1.2 (Specific gravity of Sod. Hypochlorite)

    Required quantity of
    Sodium Hypochlorite = 9.75 l/day (2.6 GPD)
    COMONLY USED CALCULATION IN
    R.O. SYSTEM
    To calculate the Dosing Pump output, calculate as follows:

    PUMP OUTPUT = MAX PUMP OUTPUT X % SPEED X

    % STROKE

    If the dosing pump is set at 30% Stroke and 36% Speed, the
    approximate pump output is:

    Use MAX output (from dataplate of dosing pump) = 24 GPD

    24 GPD X 0.30 X 0.36 = 2.6 GPD
