The Norwater standard Reverse Osmosis system process is based on the latest membrane
technology for potable water production from a natural seawater source.
The seawater feed is entering the system via the pre-filtration filter (2), to the suction side of the high-
pressure pump (3).The system pressure inside the pressure vessel (4) will be regulated by controlling
the opening / closing of pressure regulating valve (5)
Produced water will be routed through the diverter valve (7) to potable water tank or wasted
overboard based on water quality information from the conductivity sensor (6)
A post-treatment (pH regulation / increase) of the produced water is recommended to avoid corrosion
attack on piping systems or storage tanks and will be taken care of in the pH-adjustment device (8) by
means of mineral filter bed or chemical dosing.

The pumps are based on the axial piston principle enabling a very
light and compact design. The design ensures that lubrication of
the moving parts in the pumps is provided by the fluid itself. No oil
lubrication is thus required.
All parts included in the pumps are designed to provide long service
life, ie long service life with a constantly high efficiency and mini-
mum of service required.
The pumps are supplied with an integrated flushing valve that al-
lows the salt water to flow from inlet to the outlet, when the pump
is not running.

To prevent a total and disastrous breakdown, inspection of the pump is recommended after max.
8000 hours, where worn parts will be changed, if any. It is always recommended to change
pistons and shaft sealing if the goal is to ensure another service free period. If the pistons are
not changed, frequent inspection is recommended.
Note! Poorer pre-filtration than 10my absolute β<5000 may reduce the service life depending
on particle size and number.
The shaft sealing is made of Hastelloy. At high TDS and high water temperature, the service life of the
shaft sealing will be reduced. For these applications it is recommended to change the shaft sealing
after approx.4000 hours operation.
Market experience shows that some systems equipped with the APP operating on water with high
oxygen contents may cause increased cavitation in the pump. For these applications it is advised to
make service checks already after 4000 hours. Under certain circumstances it will most likely be
pistons requiring replacement.
The recommended service intervals on the different parts in the APP pumps appear from the table

Retaining Ball: The retaining ball is OK id the sliding surface is smooth and no wear is visible,
and no scratches are felt. If the wear is worse, change the retaining ball.
Outer Surface The surface is OK if the sliding surface is free of hard particles and no elements
of Cylinder stick out from the surface. If the surface is rough, the pump will still work.
Barrel: However, the energy consumption might increase.
Pistons: The pistons are the heart of the pump regarding service
If the pistons break down, the pump will suffer a breakdown!
In case of doubt – the pistons must be replaced ref.:

RO FRESH WATER MAKER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 53
The following provides general information for installing elements to provide optimally reliable
performance.
Flushing
If the system is new, it is strongly recommended to flush the system first before loading elements.
This allows any debris, solvents, or chlorine to be cleared so that they do not come in contact with the
membranes.
Vessel Preparation
Clean the inside of the vessels before loading. This will remove any dust and debris that could collect
on the membrane surface. Hosing down the insides of the vessels usually will not be sufficient to
clean the vessels. Use of a sponge ball wrapped in a towel and soaked in a 50% solution of glycerin
and water is highly recommended. The sponge ball can be pulled through the vessel with a piece of
rope. Alternatively, the sponge ball can be pushed through the length of the tube with a piece of 2
inch PVC flange attached to the end.
Warning! Be sure to avoid scraping the pipe along the vessel surface
Storage
If elements cannot be loaded upon delivery, store elements out of direct sunlight.
Do not allow the elements to freeze.
Lubricants
When loading elements into a system, do NOT use oil, grease, or petroleum jelly
based on compounds to lubricate O-rings and brine seals
Use silicon based gel or a mixture of 50% glycerin in water to lubricate O-rings and brine
seals, or alternative lubrication agents approved by membrane supplier.
Shimming
Due to inconsistencies in the vessel length, it is highly recommended to shim elements to take up free
space in the vessel. This helps to prevent elements from moving when the system is shut down and
restarted. The appearance of leaks between elements is also minimized when the elements are
shimmed.
To shim, simply place PVC “washers” of varying thickness (1/8” to 3/8”) over the FEED side inboard
adapter. Add as many shims as necessary until the end plate fits snugly against the shims. If
necessary a shim may be removed if the end cap is difficult to reinstall. A gap of ¼ inch between the
end plate and the shims will not cause problems in performance.
Operation
With all composite membranes, do not expose the membrane to chlorine or other strong
oxidants. A concentration of total chlorine in excess of 0.05 ppm free can cause
irreversible damage to the membrane.

RO FRESH WATER MAKER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 54
Step 1 Shut Down System and Relieve The system must be shut down and all pressure
System Pressure relieved, before doing any maintenance or repair
on the vessel.
Step 2 Disconnect Permeate Piping The system permeate piping must be carefully
removed from the permeate port of the vessel.
Step 3 Inspect End Closure The end closure should be inspected for any signs
of corrosion or damage. Surface corrosion can be
removed with a wire brush, while flushing with
water. Damaged components should be replaced
with approved components from Norwater.
Step 4 Disconnect Locking Screws Each of the three locking segments is held in place
with a securing ring. The securing ring is held in
place with 3 locking screws. The locking screws
can be removed using an M6 / 7/32” hex wrench.
The locking screws should be unthreaded from the
head only, not from the locking segment. The
locking screw and locking segment can be
removed together

WWW.NORWATER.NO
RO FRESH WATER MAKER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 56
It is possible to remove the head assembly without the head removal tools. A 1” NPT
Male threaded piece of PVC (or similar material) pipe should be threaded into the head permeate
port to hand tightness. Pull the pipe outward to remove the head. If the vessel has been in
operation for an extended time, a slight rocking motion or forceful tug may be required to break the
head seal bond. Also, a handle at the end of the pipe will ease head removal – forming a T with the
pipe that threads into the permeate port.

1.1 TRANSPORTATION
1.2 STORAGE
Fill the pump with glycol in order to protect it against the risk of frost.
NO DESCRIPTION
1. Turn the shaft every three months and just before putting into operation. This protects the
seals from seizure.
2. After a storage period of six months or longer, inspect the pump before using it again.
WWW.NORWATER.NO
ANNEX A – FEED WATER PUMP INSTALLATION 8
2. INSTALLATION
Pumps which do not stand steady or stable on their own, should be mounted on
a rigid and stable base.
Locate the pump at the place with the lowest risk for noise nuisance.
1. Place and install the pump on a level, stable surface in a dry and frost-proof room.
Ref. footprint on Chapter 7 – General Arrangement
2. Make sure that sufficient air can reach the cooling fan of the motor, minimum free height
1/4 of the diameter of the fan cover air intake.
3. Install a valve on the suction and discharge side of the pump.
4. Make sure that the inlet of the pump is never clogged.
The arrow (A) on the pump foot indicates the flow direction of the liquid.
The arrow (B) on the top bracket indicates the rotating direction of the
motor.
Make sure that all piping work is carried out only by materials selected for the intended purpose with
special attention to the seawater corrosion potential and drinking water regulations.
WWW.NORWATER.NO
ANNEX A – FEED WATER PUMP COMMISSIONING 9
Connect the motor according to el. Diagram in RO manual and always check the
rotation direction.
• Make sure that the motor specifications correspond with the power supply to which the pump
motor is connected - Ref. Chapter 7.1 – El. Diagram in the RO Manual
Connect the main power supply from pump motor to F2 inside the RO control cabinet, according to
Chapter 7.1 – El. diagram in the RO Manual
Check carefully motor plate information for correct Y/D alternative connection on
the specific motor alternative for the respective voltage.
3. COMMISSIONING
The pump must be switched off when it is not completely filled up with liquid.
Vent the pump and suction line. Fill the pump and suction line with the medium.
1. Check that electric termination is in accordance to electric diagram and that the motor is wired
in accordance to the actual voltage supplied.
2. Check direction of rotation on the motor with a quick start – on-off. Seen from top of the motor
the pump should rotate clockwise (ref.Figure1). The rotating direction can be changed by
exchanging two of the three phase wires.
WWW.NORWATER.NO
ANNEX A – FEED WATER PUMP OPERATING INSTRUCTION 10
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
The pump is controlled externally by the RO unit. Follow instructions in Chapter 4 – Operation
instructions in the RO Manual.
Always operate the pump within the given NPSH limitation. Make sure that the suction line is without
restrictions and that all valves are in fully open position.
Do not run dry or against closed discharge side values for a substantial amount of time.
Pre-filtration on suction side for max 1mm particles required.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 LUBRICATION
Standard Motors, with a maximum power of 7.5kW, are provided with maintenance free sealed
bearings.
Motors with lubricating nipples must be lubricated after 2000 hours. If the pump works under extreme
conditions, such as vibrations and high temperatures, the motors must be lubricated more often. Use
lithium based -30 ºC / 160 ºC bearing lubricant (about 15 grams)
Turn the shaft every three months. This protects the seals from seizure.
Protect the pump for frost protection.
Proceed as follow:
1. Close all pump valves
2. Drain each pump and/or the system
3. Remove all plugs from the pump
4. Open the shut-off and fill/air vent plug, if present.

NO PROCEDURE
1. Dismantle the top valve with riser tube from the filter tank (turn the complete valve body counter-
clockwise)
2. Fill the tank with water to approx. ¼ of the tank volume.
3. Dismantle the riser tube complete with the bottom diffuser.
4. Insert the riser tube / diffuser assembly in to the tank and rest the riser at the bottom of tank.
5. Preliminary plug the top of the tube with a cloth, tape etc. to avoid media spilling into the tube.
6. Start to fill the filter media as described in the filter datasheet for the applicable filter type,
starting with Coarse Gravel followed by Fine Gravel, Coarse Sand and Anthracite in the
mentioned order and quantity (keep the riser tube position in centre of the tank top opening
during the filling operation)
7. Assembly the top valve on top of the filter tank and make sure that the riser tube enter the valve.
8. Run a normal back-wash and rinse operation of the filter as described under operating
instruction section.
9. Filter is no ready to operate in normal operation mode.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
The multimedia filter is furnished with a manual operation mode selection valve on top of the filter
tank.
The valve is designed to operate the filter in three different modes of operation.
1. Normal operation, water flows through the media from top to filter normal outlet.
2. Filter back-flush, water flows through the media from bottom to filter waste outlet.
3. Filter rinse, water flows through the media from top to filter waste outlet.
The filter operation should be monitored with pressure gauges upstream and downstream the filter to
monitor the actual pressure drop over the filter during normal operations.
Maximum recommended pressure difference (∆P) from inlet to outlet of the filter is 0,5 bar which
should initiate back-wash sequence with subsequent rinse sequence.
When the filter system is due for back-flush, the lever at the top should be slowly turned to back-wash
position for a period of 45 minutes. This will route the outlet water to waste.
WWW.NORWATER.NO
RO FRESH WATER MAKER ANNEX B 9
After a completed back-flush sequent (minimum 45 minutes) the top lever should be turned slowly to
rinse position and operated to rinse for min 15 minutes period (will continue to route the outlet water
to waste).
After completed rinse sequent the top lever is turned back to normal operation position and outlet
water will be routed back to normal operation.
5. MAINTENANCE
Expected lifetime for filter media is estimated for 5-10 years continues operation.
Replacement of used media is normally carried out with a suitable pneumatic driven membrane pump
from the open dismantled filter top.
The sand-filter needs to be backwashed min.4 times a week, or when the differential pressure (DP)
increases. Check the DP pressure when start-up and use that as a normal level.
If the sand-filter is out of work for a longer period we recommend flushing the filter with sodium
bisulphite. Empty the filter for water and let it stay dry.

RO FRESH WATER MAKER ANNEX E 6
The RO-module should be preserved with NW Clean A solution when it is intended to shut down the
desalination unit for a long period, or when it cannot be flushed regularly every week.
Pour one (1) bottle of NW Clean A solution into the chemical cleaning tank, and continue the process
in accordance to the description for Chemical treatment – 4.1
When the unit is to be restarted, follow the steps in RO-Manual: Ch.4.2 - INITIAL START-UP
4.2 CONSUMPTION
Is a complex phenomenon that involves trapping material within the fibre bundle or on the surface of
the membrane inside the RO-module. When a RO module fouls, the salt concentration of the product
water usually increases and the conductivity meter shows higher value.
When it has reached an unacceptable level is it time for Chemical Treatment.
4.3.1 SCALING
Scaling is caused by the precipitation of sparingly soluble salts as CaCO3 and CaSO4 in the RO-
module. This phenomenon will happen, when the feed water flow is too low compared to the product
water flow, always make sure that the produces water flow is in accordance to the max. values stated
on the actual model.
The formation of the oxide and/or the hydroxide of iron, manganese or aluminium cause fouling with
metal oxides, but iron are the most common.
Iron fouling can be avoided by selecting the best non-corrosive material on the feed water side of the
unit. Also product storage and distribution system has to be of a non-corrosive material to avoid iron
oxide entering the unit during flushing, after the unit has been stopped. Fouling by metal oxides is
identified by rapid conductivity increasing (within 24 hours) to a level of full scale on the meter.
Device plugging is caused by the mechanical filtration of particulate matter. That is too large to pass
through the feed - brine passage.
The average spacing in the membranes is about 25 microns. As a general rule, if a particle is less
than about 10 microns, it should be able to pass through a 25 microns passage. To avoid particulate
plugging, be sure that right micro cartridge is used (5 micron) and is properly installed.
WWW.NORWATER.NO
RO FRESH WATER MAKER ANNEX E 7
4.3.4 COLLOIDS
Colloidal fouling is caused by the coagulation of colloids in the RO-module during the reverse osmosis
process. Colloids are very small particles usually ranging from 0,3 to 1,0 micron in size. To avoid
colloidal fouling does not operate the unit in harbours and water, which is polluted. If the unit is
intended to be operated in such water, an extended pre-treatment section is required. Colloidal fouling
is identified by conductivity increasing over several weeks.
Biological fouling can occur when the feed water contains sufficient nutrients to sustain rapid growth
of organisms inside the RO-module. This growth can lead to deposition of slimes, causing RO-module
fouling and poor performance. To avoid biological fouling does not operate the unit in water, which is
strongly contaminated with bacteria, such as harbour water etc.
If the unit is intended to be operated in such water, an extended pre-treatment section is required.
Bacterial fouling is identified by conductivity increasing after an extended shut down without NW
Clean A protection.
If the unit is operated with water containing chlorine, a carbon filter has to be used as a
pre-treatment. Chlorine, even in very week concentration will cause damage to the RO-
module.
Flushing water from the storage on board can, under some circumstances contain chlorine e.g. when
the water tanks have been filled up with water shore which contains chlorine. It is of highest
importance that the carbon cartridge is properly installed in the filter house for flush water and has not
been replaced by a normal cartridge filter. Normal seawater does not contain any chlorine.
Shall be used as a general cleaning procedure when the product flow has decreased with 10-15 %
below rated flow or the conductivity has increased to a level between 750 and 1000 µS/cm.
The NW Clean B / MT-10 shall also be used as an ”pre-cleaning” before a sterilisation with NW Clean
A solution is done.
WWW.NORWATER.NO
RO FRESH WATER MAKER ANNEX E 8
NW Clean B
Sterilisation has to be done when the content of bacteria is too high, which you recognise on a bad
taste of the water. Pre-treat the unit with NW Clean B as described in ”NW Clean B Chemical
Cleaning”.
Preparing NW Clean C
Add one (1) bottle of NW Clean C into the 100 litres plastic bin containing 80 litre product water, mix
well.
