80H15

Summary

Product identification

The CodeLine 80H15 is a fiberglass reverse osmosis (RO) pressure vessel designed for continuous, long-term use as housing for RO membrane elements. It is intended to desalt typical brackish waters at pressures up to 150 psi. This vessel accommodates any make of eight-inch nominal diameter spiral-wound element. The appropriate interfacing hardware for the specified element is furnished with the vessel.

The design adheres to the engineering standards of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code. ASME Code stamping and CE Marking are available options.

Operating limits

• Design Pressure: 150 PSIG at 190°F (1.0 MPa at 88°C)
• Minimum Operating Temperature: 20°F (-7°C)
• Factory Test Pressure:
  • CE: 225 PSIG (1.6 MPa)
  • ASME: 165 PSIG (1.13 MPa)
• Qualification Pressure: 900 PSI (6.2 MPa)
• Maximum Permeate Pressure: 125 psi at 190°F (0.86 MPa at 88°C)
• Operating pH Range: 3-10

Installation and Operating Precautions

• Mount the shell on horizontal members at the specified span "S" using furnished compliant vessel supports.
• Align and center side ports with the manifold header.
• Use flexible type grooved-end pipe couplings (e.g., Victaulic® Style 77 or equal) at side ports, allowing a 0.125 inch gap between the port and piping.
• Provide flexibility and support for piping manifolds to accommodate vessel expansion under pressure. For a length code –8 vessel, expansion can be ∆DIA = 0.015 in. (0.4mm) and ∆L = 0.2 in. (6mm).
• Provide overpressure protection set at not more than 105% of design pressure.
• Inspect end closures regularly; replace deteriorated components and correct causes of corrosion.
• Lubricate seals sparingly with non-petroleum based lubricants (e.g., Parker Super O-lube®, Glycerin, or suitable silicone-based lubricants).
• Do not work on any component until pressure is relieved from the vessel.
• Do not make rigid piping connections or clamp the vessel in any way that restricts shell growth under pressure.
• Do not hang piping manifolds from ports or use the vessel to support other components.
• Do not tighten Permeate Port connections more than one turn past hand tight.
• Do not operate the vessel without connecting both Permeate Ports internally to complete the set of elements, or otherwise plug ports internally so that external piping connections are not subjected to feed pressure.
• Do not install a Spacer on the downstream end of the vessel.
• Do not operate the vessel without the Thrust Cone installed downstream.
• Do not pressurize the vessel until verifying that the Locking Ring is in place and fully seated.
• Do not operate the vessel outside its specified pressure, temperature, or pH rating.
• Do not tolerate leaks or allow end closures to be routinely wetted.
