Correct
Q: Why does the permeate water have to be further treated after the reverse osmosis process?
A: To ensure the right PH-value and to add important minerals that have been filtered away.
Correct
Q: Why are precise dosing pumps essential in the pre-treatment process?
A: They ensure that the exact amount of chemicals is used, keeping the cost of production to a minimum.
Correct
Q: Why is it important to measure the raw water, production water and brine, when the facility is switched on for the first time?
A: By comparing the data with the values obtained in the design phase it is possible to calibrate and balance the system to get the best possible results
Correct
Q: How does a pressure exchanger bring down the costs of production?
A: It transfers the pressure from the expelled brine to the intake seawater using a rotor, reducing the need for high-pressure pumps.
Correct
Q: How much of the energy needed to drive the reverse osmosis process will a pressure exchanger provide?
A: 60%
Correct
Q: When examining the actual installation, what is the first thing to do?
A: Verify the characteristics of the pumped media and the operating conditions.
