SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
Raw water before the Raw Water Tank is dosed with Sodium Hypochlorite 1 – 2 ppm. The raw water feed pump will feed raw water from the raw water storage tank to Multi Grade Filter @ 7000 LPH.
Multi Grade Filter is a vertical downflow vessel containing pure graded silex quartz as a filtering media. The vessel is fabricated in FRP. The water generated at the outlet of the Multi Grade Filter will have suspended solids of less than 5 ppm. Multi Grade Filter is provided with Manual Backwash. We have provided manual ball valves for the changeover from normal operation to Backwash operation.
(Note that the inlet suspended solid load should not be more than 50 ppm).
The water from the grade Filter is passed through the Softener. Hardness after softener is less than 5 ppm. Soft Water after the Softener unit is fed to the Purified Water Generation System.
Sodium Metabisulphite (Na2S2O5) is then dosed in the chlorinated water to neutralize the free chlorine (excess chlorine) present in the filtered water.
Antiscalant Dosing System is then dosed in the soft water to avoid scale formation on the RO Membranes.
pH Correction Dosing System is provided to adjust the feed pH of RO feed water as 6.5 – 8.5. The treated water is then passed through a 5 5-micron Cartridge Filter to trap the suspended solids. This will avoid choking of RO membranes due to suspended solids.
ORP Analyzer is provided to check the absence/presence of chlorine in the feed water to the RO System. If free chlorine is sensed in the feed water it will give an indication on the panel & open the dumping valve and dump the high ORP water for 300 secs. & Even if the ORP value is not below the set point it will trip the system.
This soft water is then fed to the Reverse Osmosis First pass System employing a High-Pressure Vertical multistage Pump with SS 304 wettable parts of M/s. Grundfos, Denmark. The First pass Reverse Osmosis System will generate 2700 liters/hr water with an overall recovery of 70 %. The generated water will have total dissolved solids of less than 150 ppm. The semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane has a molecular weight cut off less than 150 MWCO. The Reveres Osmosis membrane acts as a positive barrier to remove dissolved solids, organic compounds & bacteria.
The Reverse Osmosis System consists of a thin film composite type Reverse Osmosis membrane of DOW. The material of construction of the RO membrane is Polyamide. The RO membrane is housed in the High-Pressure SS 316L Wettable Parts Housing having TC end connection.
The outlet water of RO pass one is fed to RO pass two systems. The Second pass Reverse Osmosis System will generate 2200 liters/hr of water with an overall recovery of 80%. The generated water will have total dissolved solids less than 15-20 ppm.
The Reverse Osmosis System consists of a thin film composite type Reverse Osmosis membrane of DOW. The material of construction of the RO membrane is Polyamide. The RO membrane is housed in the High-Pressure SS 316L Wettable Parts Housing having TC end connection.
The Permeate water from the RO system will be fed to the Electro Deionization Unit (EDI) having a designed capacity of 2000 LPH. The EDI system has a recovery of 90%.
The water generated from the outlet of EDI will be as per USP 39 Standards for Purified Water.

- cGMP compliance
- Whether the system follows basic engineering design standards
- Whether the system fulfills general safety standards
- Whether the system fulfills other regulatory obligations (if any)
- Such installation checks are a continuous exercise that shall begin right from the time the project is initiated and this protocol defines the specifications procedure and summarizes the checks done from time to time.
- When the contractor claims that all the installation of the system has been completed from his side, the qualification team shall conduct the final installation checks and report thereby.
Acceptance Criteria
- The pump should be mounted rigidly & properly on the skid.
- Non-return valves should be provided wherever necessary.
- Sampling valves should be provided between every two pieces of equipment or wherever necessary to provide isolation and targeting of problems.
- Straight piping runs should be supported at least every ten feet.
- A dosing point should be provided in the bottom portion of the pipe.
- All pipes shall be properly supported.
- All tanks and pumps must be completely self-drainable.
- The piping should have a suitable self-draining gradient.
Result: The final check shall be recorded in the following format and in case any Exception is found, the exact details of the location of the Exception from the specifications/design must be noted down in the Exception Form:
EXCEPTION REPORT
