The RO plants were working at a recovery rate of only 60% and converted around 600 kld of fresh water to produce 360 kld of boiler feed water. The remaining 240 kld was rejected and reused in other processes. We wanted to increase the recovery from the RO plant and hence we installed a fully automatic PLC based three stage RO system. This new RO system has a recovery rate of 85% and has reduced our fresh water consumption by 170 kld.
