4.0MACHINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The operation and maintenance of a E-CE RO Series machine is relatively simple, but requires regular data recording and routine preventative maintenance. It cannot be emphasized enough the importance of filling out the Daily Log Sheet (Section 7.3) during each operating shift. A Start- Up Data Sheet was completed at start-up (Section 7.2) containing pertinent facts on the operation of your machine. These two records are invaluable in diagnosing the performance of the equip- ment or warranty issues, and must be kept for reference. If you have questions concerning the operation of your machine or the method of data recording, contact the GE Osmonics Application Engineering Department.

Three preventative maintenance procedures, which must be done on a regular basis, are as follows:

1.Change the pre-filter cartridges.

2.Flush the machine.

3.Clean the machine with approved Osmonics cleaners.

4.1Daily Log Sheets

A Daily Log Sheet, which includes general operating conditions (pressures, flows, and concentrations) and routine or special maintenance (pre-filter changes, flushing, cleaning, etc.). must be kept. Copies of the Daily Log Sheet can be made from the Template (Section 7.3). GE Osmonics will require copies of Daily Log Sheets if a warranty ques- tion arises.

4.2Pre-filter Cartridge

A 5 micron pre-filter cartridge is factory installed to protect the membrane elements and valves from particles, which may be in the feed water. To order replacements, see the Spare Parts List (P/N 1233377).

Pre-filter cartridge must be replaced, at a minimum, once per week or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. A pressure drop across the filter of 0.6 barg (8.7 psig) or more during operation indicates that the pre-filters cartridge(s) need chang- ing. Use only GE Osmonics approved filters rated for 5 microns or less. Do not attempt to clean used filters. Install new replacements.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to change the filter according to these requirements will void machine warranty.

4.3Cleaning

Cleaning the E-CE RO machines on a regular basis is vital. Over time, contaminants build-up to form a layer on membrane element surfaces, reducing the permeate flow and quality. If this build-up is not removed from the membrane element, it may cause per- manent chemical damage and reduce membrane element life. A decrease in permeate

000 gpd to 288, E4H-CE Series, E8-CE Series, 000 gpd specifications

The General Electric (GE) 000 gallons per day (gpd) water treatment systems stand out in the industry, particularly known for their E4H-CE Series and E8-CE Series. These systems are designed to cater to various applications, from municipal to industrial needs, and are recognized for their efficiency, reliability, and advanced technology.

The E4H-CE Series, with a capacity of 000 gpd, showcases GE's commitment to delivering high-performance water treatment solutions. This series integrates state-of-the-art membrane technology that enhances the removal of contaminants, thereby ensuring high water quality. One of the main features of the E4H-CE Series is its compact design, allowing for modular installations that save valuable space while maintaining production efficiency. Its automation capabilities streamline operations, enabling remote monitoring and management, which reduces operational costs and minimizes human error.

On the other hand, the E8-CE Series, with a capacity extending to 288 gpd, is engineered for higher demand applications while maintaining the same quality standards. The E8-CE Series offers superior energy efficiency and lower operating costs, making it an ideal choice for facilities with significant water treatment needs. Its innovative purification process employs advanced reverse osmosis and ultra-filtration technologies, ensuring that the water produced meets the highest safety and quality standards.

Both series incorporate GE's proprietary technologies, such as the SmartWater platform. This enables real-time data analysis and predictive maintenance, significantly enhancing operational reliability. The systems are also designed to be environmentally friendly, reducing waste and energy consumption, which aligns with global sustainability goals.

In addition to their technological advancements, the E4H-CE and E8-CE Series feature robust construction for longevity and resilience under varying operational pressures. They are designed to adapt easily to changing water quality conditions, ensuring consistent performance without compromising output.

Overall, GE's 000 gpd, E4H-CE Series, and E8-CE Series water treatment systems represent a blend of advanced engineering, user-friendly operation, and environmental consideration, making them essential assets for modern water management solutions. With their innovative features and reliable performance, these systems are equipped to meet the challenges faced by various industries today.
