Water Concern: The water necessitated for the boiler feed process needs to at the very least, be rid of calcium and magnesium. These two elements are culprits to the hardness issue that arises when these elements are elevated. Likewise, hardness is generally a major contributor to scaling efforts and clogging potential of any metal surface. Purified water is necessary to facilitate a seamless operation while preventing additional labor costs and saving energy/fuel from overworking the system.

Applied Solution: The recommended system for palm oil manufacturing was the industrial reverse osmosis system. This system includes a six-stage process to facilitate a seamless production of pure water. Beginning with a prechlorination system, the iron and manganese present in the water is oxidized. Then, a feed pump pressurizes the water into a triplex multimedia filter to reduce suspended solids and turbidity. This particular project consisted of three tanks; two of which operated primarily and a third on standby to be used during backwash cycles to prevent interruptions in production. Thirdly, a duplex green sand filter was included to reduce iron and manganese accounts. Next, a de-chlorination system is in place to reduce the levels of chlorine prior to contact with the RO membranes. Before the RO system, is an antiscalant dosing system to ensure the seamless production of purification and prevent scaling or fouling from occurring. Lastly, the water passes through the industrial RO system and produces perfectly pure water.
