RO membranes are to remove hardness, TDS, and chlorides. vi) The design intent is to achieve a minimum recovery rate of 90% through the RO membranes, with design considerations to increase this to 95% or more recovery through commissioning trials. vii) Source water for the plant is a blend of fresh and brackish water supplied from ten (10) remote wells. This results in elevated levels of hardness, iron, manganese, arsenic, chlorides, and total dissolved solids (TDS). These parameters may differ based on the fresh/brackish water blend rate. RO membrane design must consider a flexible treatment strategy for the range of blend options that vary the parameters. viii) The water treatment system supplied under this proposal will be prepiped and prewired RO skids to the fullest extent practicable with CIP equipment, instrumentation and panels shipped loose or on skid. (The Goods). a) The Goods supplied under this proposal will be field installed by others. ix) The supplier will provide two off-skid prefilters to the specifications provided.
