Reverse osmosis systems GENO-OSMO-X
Reverse osmosis systems
GENO-OSMO-X
Designated application
The reverse osmosis system GENO-
OSMO-X is designed for the demineralisation of raw water whose composition complies with the quality requirements of the TrinkwV (German
Drinking Water Ordinance).
Option - Antiscalant
Protection of the reverse osmosis membranes by dosing a hardness stabiliser.
Option - AVRO
Protection of the reverse osmosis membranes by means of the treatment module(s) installed in the system.
Option - Online skid
For online supply of connected consumers such as humidifiers, air-conditioning systems, etc.
Function
The GENO-OSMO-X reverse osmosis system works according to the reverse osmosis principle. In the osmosis process, watery solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane.
In keeping with the law of nature, the concentrations try to equalise. On the side of the higher original concentration, the so-called "osmotic" pressure is generated. In case of reverse osmosis, this osmotic pressure is countered by a higher pressure. The consequence: the process proceeds in the reverse direction.
A particular advantage of the reverse osmosis technology compared to other water treatment processes is the fact that - apart from the removal of dissolved salts - bacteria, germs and dissolved organic substances are also reduced.
Via the fine filter incl. pressure reducer, the water is directed to the inlet of the feed water section. The water flows to the high-pressure pump via the feed water solenoid valve with a pressure switch for minimum pressure installed downstream.
By means of a frequency converter, the pump's rotation speed is set in a way that the system-specific permeate output is reached.
The water is directed to the reverse osmosis membranes and is divided into the partial flows permeate and concentrate. Via a control valve (motor-driven), a partial flow of the concentrate is returned to the feed water again and thus ensures a steady flow over the reverse osmosis membrane(s) and increases the economic efficiency of the reverse osmosis system. The remaining concentrate is directed to the drain via a control valve (motor-driven).
The permeate output is subject to the temperature and was defined at
15 °C. It decreases by < 3 % per °C of the feed water temperature. The permeate output is automatically adjusted to the temperature. The recovery (concentrate to drain) as well as the concentrate recirculation are adapted to the modified permeate capacity.
Option - Antiscalant
A dosing monitored diaphragm dosing pump adds the hardness stabilising agent in proportion to the volume. Depending on the system size, different antiscalants are used.
Option - AVRO
In the treatment module(s) seed crystals are generated which are washed out together with the concentrate. Thus, the reverse osmosis membrane is protected from scaling.
Depending on the feed water, a recovery of up to 75 % can be achieved.
Option - Online skid
Via a pressure sensor, the supply pressure can be set to up to 4 bar at the control unit. For an optimum permeate quality, an initial rejection of the permeate can be set.

Installation requirements
Please observe local installation directives, general guidelines and technical specifications.
The installation site must be frostproof. The system, must be protected from chemicals, dyes, solvents and vapours.
In general, the following must be installed upstream:
A drinking water filter and a pressure reducer, if required
(e.g. BOXER KD)
A Euro-system separator
GENO DK 2 ½ “
An activated carbon filter
A water softener or
An antiscalant dosing
In order to prevent scaling, it is possible to integrate the patented AVRO technology as an alternative process.
For the electrical connection, a supply line to the system must be provided by others acc. to the wiring diagram.
This line must be dimensioned according to the system type.
Regarding the power supply on site, we recommend a power outlet that has its own AC/DC sensitive ground fault circuit interrupter (30 mA).
For the discharge of the concentrate, a drain connection (at least DN 50) must be available.
The installation room must have a floor drain. If no floor drain is available, an appropriate safety device has to be installed.
Floor drains leading to a lifting system do not work in case of a power failure.
The installation of a reverse osmosis system represents a major interference with the drinking water system.
Therefore, only authorised experts may install such systems.
A foundation has to be provided.
An adequate distance (> 50 cm) for installation and service work must be kept.
Only the left side (pressure pipes) of the system may be placed flush to the wall.
On all other sides, a distance > 50 cm has to be kept.
The required connections must be provided before the system is installed. For dimensions and connection data, please refer to the tables
"Technical specifications I, II and III".
The concentrate resp. permeate pipe provided by others on site must feature a provision to separate the pipes
(e.g. a screw connection).
