Raw water before Raw Water Tank is dosed with Sodium Hypochlorite 1 – 2 ppm. Raw water feed pump
will feed raw water from the raw water storage tank to Multi Grade Filter @ 7000 LPH.

Multi Grade Filter is a vertical down flow vessel containing pure graded silex quartz as a filtering media.
The vessel is fabricated in FRP. The water generated at the outlet of Multi Grade Filter will have
suspended solids less than 5 ppm. Multi Grade Filter is provided with Manual Backwash. We have
provided manual ball valves of for change over from normal operation to Backwash operation.

(Note that the inlet suspended solid load should not be more than 50 ppm).

The water from Multi Grade Filter is passed through Softener. Hardness after softener is less than 5
ppm. Soft Water after Softener unit is fed to Purified Water Generation System.

Sodium Metabisulphite (Na2S2O5) is then dosed in the chlorinated water to neutralize the free chlorine

(excess chlorine) present in the filtered water.

Antiscalent Dosing System is then dosed in the soft water to avoid scale formation on the RO
Membranes.

pH Correction Dosing System is provided to adjust the feed pH of RO feed water as 6.5 – 8.5. The
treated water is then passed through 5 micron Cartridge Filter to trap the suspended solids. This will
avoid chocking of RO membranes due to suspended solids.

ORP Analyzer is provided so as to check the absence/presence of chlorine in the feed water to the RO
System. If free chlorine is sensed in the feed water it will give an indication on the panel & open the
dumping valve and dump the high ORP water for 300 secs. & Even if the ORP value is not below
the set point it will trip the system.

This soft water is then fed to the Reverse Osmosis First pass System by means of a High Pressure
Vertical multistage Pump with SS 304 wettable parts of M/s. Grundfos, Denmark. The First pass Reverse
Osmosis System will generate 2700 liters/hr water with an overall recovery of 70 %. The generated water
will have total dissolved solids less than 150 ppm. The semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane has
molecular weight cut off less than 150 MWCO. The Reveres Osmosis membrane acts as positive barrier
to remove dissolved solids, organic compounds & bacteria.

The Reverse Osmosis System consists of thin film composite type Reverse Osmosis membrane of DOW.
The material of construction of the RO membrane is Polyamide. The RO membrane is housed in the High
Pressure SS 316L Wettable Parts Housing having TC end connection.

The outlet water of RO pass one is feed to RO pass two system. The Second pass Reverse Osmosis
System will generate 2200 liters/hr of water with an overall recovery of 80%. The generated water will
have total dissolved solids less than 15-20 ppm.

27/11/2022, 08:31 Design qualification pretreatment & purified water generation system - Pharmaceutical Guidance

2.Regeneration Operation:

WHEN & WHY REGENERATION 

Regeneration is used to recharge the Resin to regain its absorbing properties of hardness. Regeneration

is done if the Hardness at the Outlet of Softener Unit is above 5 ppm OR after 72 m3 OBR / 12 hrs of
Operation of plant whichever is earlier. Flow Totalizer will be provided at the outlet of each softener unit to
indicate the amount of soft water generated and give indication of Regeneration after pre define quantity
of soft water generation.

For changing from normal operation to regeneration mode, the valve position should be

(In Open position: BV-12/13/14) & (In Close position: BV-10/11/15)

Allow the softener to backwash completely.

Allow the brine solution to get completely charged in the softener.

3. Slow Rinse Operation:

Slow Rinse is used to get properly mix up with Salts & Resins. (In Open position: BV-12/14) & (In Close
position: BV-10/11/13/15)

4. Fast Rinse Operation: Fast Rinse is used to remove excess Salts from the resins.

(In Open position: BV-10/15) & (In Close position: BV-11/12/13/14)

SODIUM META BISULPHITE DOSING SYSTEM:

TAG NO: SMBS (DT-02 / DP-02)

EQUIPMENT NAME: Sodium Meta Bisulphate Dosing system

EQUIPMENT LOCATION: After Softener Unit

FUNCTION: 1 ppm of chlorine needs 2 ppm SMBS dosing. We have considered 2 ppm of chlorine so we
have assumed 4 ppm of SMBS dosing. 6 ppm SMBS is dosed in soft water to neutralize the free chlorine
in soft water. (Note: ORP analyzer is provide with dumping valve to check & dump the high chlorinated
water)
