CULLIGAN’S SOLUTION

Culligan installed IW 53K SPECIAL EVO reverse osmosis system for a production of 53 m3/h at 75% recovery. The system is composed of 9 vessels with 6 membranes each for a total of 54 ESPA2 MAX membranes of 8×40”. The whole system is completely mounted on a carbon steel frame. Culligan’s proposed also a pre-treatment that includes: three HI-FLO 6 UF 84” multi-layer filters (flint-anthracite) filters, two operating in parallel and one in reserve, anti-scaling chemical dosing and chemical and sodium bisulfite. To be able to recover the excess water water from the cooling towers, Culligan installed three filters (2+1) immediately after the three HI-FLO 6 UR 84”. The entire system is completely mounted on a carbon steel frame and is controlled by an electrical power and control panel. In the water supply line for the cooling towers, a duplex decalcification system decalcification system with 750 liters of resin in each column has been designed to treat the water with a flow rate of 30 m3/h. An online hardness tester is integrated at the outlet.
