    PT. Kaltim Daya Mandiri was experiencing high costs and frequent cleaning/replacement of their reverse osmosis pre-treatment system when filtering seawater. They installed activated filter media which reduced turbidity, suspended solids, and SDI levels prior to the RO membranes. This decreased the cartridge filter replacement frequency to one seventh of the previous amount and lowered operational costs by improving the performance of their ultrafiltration membranes system.

    Case Study PT.

    Kaltim Daya Mandiri (KDM) - Seawater Reverse Osmosis Pre-Treatment

    Project Profile :
    Company PT. Kaltim Daya Mandiri
    Location Bontang, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
    Year 2018
    Description Media Filter for SWRO Pre-treatment
    Capacity 2x 100 m3/h
    Raw Water Sea Water
    Target Organic matters, suspended
    solids & turbidiy removal

    The Problems : Existing After installed


    Parameter
    values AFM
    • High frequency of Cartridge Filter replacement
    (RO membranes pre-filter) Turbidity (NTU) 2-4 0,1

    • High operational cost due to low performance SDI 5–7 <3


    of existing UF Membranes system Suspended Solids (mg) 12 <2
    • Frequent RO membranes cleaning (CIP)

    Technical Solutions :
    • Seawater from the intake unit was filtered with
    AFM Grade 1, 2, and 3 before SWRO Membranes
    • Applied coagulation with ZPM Static Mixer before
    AFM Filtration
    • Colloidal and suspended matter levels were
    significantly reduced, so that the cartridge filter
    replacement frequency was decreased to one
    seventh.
