Figure 1-1: Angle and Side views of VNX50-2 Modules



1.2. Using this manual

Service technicians should review this manual prior to going to the site. It lists tools and materials needed to install the modules. It also outlines the site information required to prepare for installation.

NOTE: The warranty may be void if installation or operation instructions contained in this manual are not followed exactly.

This Manual describes the installation, operation, and routine maintenance of the VNX50-2 / E / EX modules. It also contains information on basic troubleshooting (Section 4).

IONPURE strongly recommends all users read the entire contents of the manual. If the VNX50-2 module is not operating properly after going through the basic troubleshooting exercises, contact your Local Service Provider.

1.3. Installation Precautions

• DO NOT OPEN THE VNX MODULE. OPENING THE MODULE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE

• During operation, the electrode wiring inside the module junction boxes are at high voltage and present a shock hazard. THEREFORE, BEFORE TOUCHING THE INSIDE OF THE JUNCTION BOX, CONFIRM THAT AC POWER HAS FIRST BEEN DISCONNECTED AND LOCKED OUT ACCORDING TO STANDARD LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES.

• To eliminate the possibility of electric shock, confirm that all GROUND WIRES ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED. Thoroughly read all the information in this manual before operating the VNX model modules.

• THE MODULE MUST BE OPERATED ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY.

• Pipe sections prepared for installation must be inspected, and be free of debris from storage or cutting tool particles. This must be done before installation.

• Because VNX modules have narrow flow distribution channels, plugging by particles can cause permanent damage. Always install pressure gauges, sampling ports, sensors, etc. in tee fittings. Do not drill or tap into piping. After installing gauges, sampling ports, sensors, etc., always flush out the piping before connecting to the VNX module to remove any debris.

• Installation of the VNX module must be completed in accordance with the procedures outlined in this manual. If deviations from the prescribed procedures are deemed necessary to achieve the desired performance, consult your local Service Provider.

1.4. Operating Precautions • DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE VNX MODULE UNTIL PROPER FLOW AND PRESSURE HAVE

FIRST BEEN CHECKED AND VERIFIED.

• Allow for proper inlet and outlet connections. NEVER BLOCK OFF (DEAD-HEAD) ALL OF THE VNX OUTLET pipe connections. Dead-heading by blocking all outlets can result in over-pressurization, leading to permanent damage.



• Do not operate the module under conditions other than those stated in the module manual. The prescribed feed water and electrical requirements, and flow configurations, must be followed at all times. If the feed water quality or the product water requirements change, contact the IONPURE Technical Support department for assistance.

Once every six months:

• Make sure all wiring connections are tight

• Test safety interlocks such as flow switches or connections to upstream equipment

1.5. Shutdown Precautions • Confirm that the pressure in the unit is relieved until all pressures inside the unit are atmospheric.

(i.e., all pressure gauges should read zero).

• Drain standing water and plug all inlets and outlets.

2. PRE-INSTALLATION: PREPARATION & REQUIREMENTS

2.3. Inspect the Module

• Do not uncrate the module prior to moving it into its final location. After uncrating it, inspect it for any signs of damage. If damage is apparent, immediately notify your Local Service Provider and the carrier.

2.4. Operating Requirements

In order to operate to specification, the VNX module must have the following conditions present. If any of these conditions are unmet, do not attempt to install the VNX module without specific instructions from your Local Service Provider’s Technical Support.

• Operating Environment

The VNX module requires indoor installation out of direct sunlight. The maximum ambient room temperature should not exceed 113 °F (45° C). The module can tolerate humidity of up to 90%, as long as condensation does not occur.

• Space Requirements

The physical dimensions of the VNX Module are given in section A.2 In addition to the size of the module itself, the arrangement of the piping and electrical connections determines the amount of space the module needs to operate. This arrangement varies from site to site, depending on the conditions at a particular location.

• Electrical Requirements

The VNX module requires the following power sources. In all cases the cathodes must be at ground potential.

Table 2-1. Electrical requirements for the VNX Modules

• Feed Water Requirements – RO Permeate

Feed water for the VNX module must always meet the specifications outlined in Table 2-2. In most cases, pre-treating VNX module feed water with reverse osmosis (RO) will bring it within these specifications. Depending on the conditions, however, some sites may require additional pretreatment. To determine if additional pretreatment is required, compare the VNX feed water (RO Permeate) on site with the feed water requirements listed below. Table 2-2. Feed Water Requirements for the VNX50-2 / E / EX Modules

Note: Recycling the VNX reject to the RO feed will cause the CO2 load on the VNX to increase, and may have an impact on the VNX product water quality. Please refer to Ionpure.com for additional reject stream system design guidance including the following paper from Jonathan Wood and Joe Gifford (“Process and System Design for Reliable Operation of RO/CEDI Systems”)

• Drain Requirements

Place the VNX module near a drain that can accommodate at least 100% of the total feed flow.

2.5. Flow Rates and pressure drops • See Appendix A



3. VNX MODULE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

This section contains the following installation information: • Moving and unpacking - Moving the Module into place and unpacking it • Connecting the Module - Connecting the plumbing and electrical.

3.1. Moving the VNX Module into Place Confirm that the pre-installation requirements outlined in Section 2 are met and the system is ready for VNX Module installation.

• Remove any packaging materials and move the module to its operating location. (See section 2.1). Use safe lifting practices when moving the module.

• Remove the yellow dust plugs that seal the inlet and outlet ports on the

module. Failure to remove yellow dust plugs can cause permanent damage to the modules.

3.2. Water Connection Configuration and Fittings Pre-Flushing - Make sure all upstream pretreatment equipment and piping have been thoroughly flushed with particle-free water before connecting them to the VNX Module. Flushing removes any particles left in the piping

from cutting and assembly. If particles remain, they could plug the passages inside the VNX Module.

NOTE - Failure to properly flush the pretreatment water system of installation debris to drain prior to flowing water to the CEDI can result in particulate fouling that may be irreversible.

Plug Removal - Remove yellow dust plugs from the connection ports.

Connections - Ionpure VNX modules have a Molded PPO endplate with FEMALE ACME thread connections. There are four (4) connection points:

• Product Inlet (Dilute Feed) • Product Outlet (Product) • Reject Inlet (Concentrate Feed) • Reject Outlet (Reject)

See Table 2-1 for module specific port locations or refer to the module layout drawings in appendix B.



Modules are shipped with the connection ports installed. Product and Reject ports are labeled with color coded identification (see figure above). Blue Product port inlets (I) and outlets (O) are identified with Blue labels affixed near the appropriate endblock connection points. Red Reject port inlets (I) and outlets (O) are identified with Red labels affixed near the appropriate endblock connection points. See appendix C for PVC and PP adapter drawings. If alternate approved connection orientations are required, insure that connections to this type of module INCLUDE THE USE OF O-RINGS. For additional module specific connection information see appendix B.

• The unit comes with 4 factory installed PVC connection adapters.

• The unit comes with 4 factory installed PVC plugs.

There are several important points regarding the piping connections:

Sealing Mechanism - The seal is created by a dual o-ring between the smooth hole wall of the end block and the connection adapter. This is similar to an RO end adapter that seals into an RO pressure vessel end cap. The female threads in the endplate are ACME threads. They are NOT TAPERED pipe threads and DO NOT CREATE the seal, they allow the sealing surfaces to move towards each other and hold the piping adapter in place.

Use of Sealants - DO NOT use Teflon® tape or any other pipe sealant (e.g. Dope) on the ACME thread adapters. The use of these products on the ACME thread adapter will prevent good sealing.



O-rings – O-rings are included with the plugs and pipe adapters. Connection adapters use white O-rings size (2-222) and an orange O-ring size (2-221) and are made of Silicon. The slightly larger o-ring (white) is 222.

2-221 Oring

2-222 Oring

2-221 Oring

2-222 Oring

Plug PVC Connection Adapter PVC

Piping Adapter Material - To avoid corrosion, the piping adapters and plugs must be non-metallic. Factory supplied plugs and adapters are made of PVC. Additional high purity adapter kits are available if required for installation. See Appendix C for the Polypropylene plug/adapter drawings.

Tightening - Adapters should be tightened to ensure that orings are engaged in the endplate. The maximum torque necessary to install adapters and plugs will be less than 6 ft-lbs to engage the oring and ensure a leak free seal.


3.3. Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections

• VNX modules have on-board electrical junction boxes and follow common DC voltage color conventions. Only one electrical connection is required per module. Power connections to the module junction box should be made with 12AWG (3.31mm2) wire and conduit connections should be supplied through the 7/8” junction box thru hole. DC wire color conventions.

4. DETERMINE OPERATING DC CURRENT PRIOR TO STARTUP

Test the VNX feed water quality by running the RO system to drain and testing with the following individual test kits:

Analyte Hach Model Smallest increment Ionpure Part Number

CO2 CA-23 (#143601) 1.25 mg/l

Cl2 CN-70 (#1454200) 0.02 mg/l

Hardness HA-71A (#145201) 1 mg/l

Silica SI-7 (#2255000) 0.02 ppm

All Included in Ionpure all in one kit # IP-CEDI-TESTKIT

Set the electrical current at the specific setting required to meet product water quality specifications as estimated below. NOTE: A carbon dioxide test kit is necessary to measure the CO2 concentration in the feed water. An important part of the startup process for the VNX Module is setting the operating current correctly for each site.

The DC current set point is determined based on the following site conditions:

• Feed water conductivity

• Feed water carbon dioxide concentration

• Flow rate per module

The following equation will calculate the current to be applied to one VNX. For multiple systems, each one should be controlled individually and set to this current.

To determine the current setting (amps), follow these steps:

a) Calculate Feed Conductivity Equivalent (FCE)

FCE = Measured Conductivity, (µS/cm) + (CO2 ppm x 2.79)

b) Calculate Current (I)

I = (0.11) * (Q)* (FCE)

(c.e)*

Where: Q = Product flow (GPM)

FCE = Feed Conductivity Equivalent

I = Current (amps)

c.e. = Current Efficiency, 20 for most cases



Example - for one VNX:

Product Flow = 50 gpm

Feed conductivity = 2.0 µS/cm

Feed carbon dioxide = 3.75 ppm CO2

1. FCE = 2.0 + (2.79* 3.75) = 12.46

2. I = (0.11)* (50 GPM) * (12.46 µS/cm) / (20) = 3.43 amps

SET THE CURRENT AT 3.43 AMPS NOTE: The above calculations assume 20% current efficiency, which is suitable for many applications. However, certain applications, such as those requiring high silica removals, may require operating at 10% current efficiency, or two times the amperage calculated above. The modules should be set to operate with a constant current allowing the voltage to fluctuate with changes in temperature, flow, etc.

5. START-UP PROCEDURE

5.1. Test interlocks

• Test flow switches and other interlocks, including the RO interlock if applicable • Test pressure relief if applicable

• Set alarm points

5.2. Startup of VNX modules

• Make sure that modules are correctly connected to the DC power source.

• Make sure that the VNX product line is directed to drain.

• Turn on the feedwater. Adjust valves to obtain the desired flows and pressures in the product and reject streams. The reject flow is set depending on the model. Standard VNX is typically set at about 11% for of the product flow (this gives a water recovery of 90%). See recovery notes section 5.3 for E and EX models recovery calculations. Valves are adjusted so the product outlet pressure is about 2 to 5 psig higher than the reject outlet pressure at the desired flow rates.

• Adjust the DC power supply to the current setting calculated in section 4.

• Test all flow switches and interlocks to ensure VNX DC power is shut off when flow is

interrupted.

• Continue to direct the product water to drain until it reaches the desired quality.

• Once product reaches the desired quality, connect to process. Readjust pressures as required to maintain product outlet pressure 2-5 psi above the reject outlet pressure.

• When the system is at steady state (quality in specification and stable operation), record

operating data on the data sheet provided at the end of section 7.


Page 1

5.3. Notes on Recovery, Silica and Hardness VNX50

• VNX recovery of 95% is limited to systems with feed water total hardness of less than or

equal to 0.2 ppm as CaCO3. Reduction of hardness is normally accomplished with ion-exchange softening or with two-pass RO. In addition there is a minimum reject flow of 2.6 gpm per VNX modules. Therefore, 95% recovery is not always attainable for less than nominal product flow rates.

• For normal recovery of 90-95%, feed water silica must be ≤ 1 ppm as SiO2

VNX50 E

• VNX E modules can operate at recovery rates up to 99%. In these high recovery applications

hardness levels below 0.1 ppm as CaCO3 are required. Reduction of hardness is normally accomplished with ion-exchange softening or with 2 passes RO.

• For normal recovery of 98.5-99%, feed water silica should be <0.2 ppm.

VNX50 EX • VNX EX modules can operate at recovery rates up to 97.5%. In these high recovery

applications hardness levels below 0.1 ppm as CaCO3 are required. Reduction of hardness is normally accomplished with ion-exchange softening or with 2 passes RO.

6. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

The following section details the maintenance procedures for the VNX module. It contains general maintenance information and specific maintenance information for cleaning and sanitizing the modules.

The cleaning chemical volumes and flows detailed in this section are for a single VNX module. Multiply chemical volumes by number of modules in system

This section also lists possible problems and troubleshooting procedures for the VNX module. All operators and personnel involved with the module should read and become familiar with all maintenance and troubleshooting procedures.

6.1. General Maintenance Guidelines

Operating Data Log Sheet

VNX system log sheets should be filled out daily to provide early detection of problems that could jeopardize the warranty and potentially damage the module. A typical log sheet is included at the end of this section (Troubleshooting Section 7). Because instrumentation may vary depending on the type of system the module is installed into, this log sheet may not apply to your particular system. The system manual should contain log sheets more appropriate for your particular system. However, the items in bold must be filled out to maintain module warranty. Periodic Maintenance

Perform the following tests at least once every six months. Check the Troubleshooting portion of this Section for any recommendations that are not listed below.

• Check for any water leakage from the module. If leakage is observed,

see the Troubleshooting subsection for possible solutions. • Periodically tighten all electrical connections.

6.2. Specific Maintenance Guidelines

Periodically, the VNX module may need cleaning or sanitization. Cleaning the module removes scale and resin/membrane foulants.

Before starting any cleaning or sanitization procedure, see subsection 6.7 for recommended cleaning solutions

Do not run a cleaning or sanitizing solution through the system with DC power to the VNX module. Make sure the DC power is off before cleaning.



6.3. Cleaning Circumstances

The module may need CLEANING if:

• product differential pressure increases by 50% without a change in temperature and flow, or

• reject differential pressure increases by 50% without a change in temperature and flow, or

• product quality declines without a change in temperature, flow, or feed conductivity, or

• the module’s electrical resistance increases by 25% without a change in temperature.

The above factors may indicate module fouling or scaling. Contact your Local service Provider to determine if the module needs cleaning or for the best cleaning procedure.

6.4. Sanitization Circumstances

The system may require periodic SANITIZATION if the product water calls for low levels of bacteria (a user specific requirement).

6.5. Required Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment

The following equipment must be constructed of material compatible with the recommended cleaning solutions.

Thoroughly flush all plumbing and other equipment before cleaning or sanitization to remove debris that might damage the system.

During cleaning, the following equipment is required:

Tank Connect a tank to the VNX system. The tank should be large enough to accommodate solution volumes as shown in this section. The cleaning solution will be prepared in this tank. Pump Install a cleaning pump between the system and the cleaning tank. The pump must provide a minimum discharge pressure of at least 30 psig (2 bar) for VNX50 and VNX50E Installations. VNX50EX installations require a minimum pump discharge pressure of at least 50 psig (3.5 bar). The pump should also meet the flow rates given in the table below. The construction materials of the wetted surfaces in the pump must be compatible with the cleaning solutions. Plastics generally work well with most cleaning chemicals. During cleaning or chemical sanitization, adjust flow rates as follows to maintain flow velocity in all spacers (use the highest flow rate possible per table below):

IPVNX50 VNX50E VNX50EX

Product Flow 50 gpm (11.4 m3/hr) 50 gpm (11.4 m3/hr) 50 gpm (11.4 m3/h)

Reject Flow Calculation

0.5 x Product Flow 0.10 x Product Flow 0.25 x Product Flow

Reject Flow 25 gpm (5.6 m3/hr) 5 gpm (1.1 m3/hr) 12.5 gpm (2.8 m3/hr)

Pump Capacity 75 gpm (17 m3/hr) 55 gpm (12.5 m3/hr) 62.5 gpm (14.2 m3/hr)



The preferred cleaning flow rates are nominal product flow and reject flow base on the module reject flow calculations in the table above. Valves and Hoses Figure 6-1 shows a typical flow diagram for cleaning or sanitizing a VNX system. Valves are needed for mixing, cleaning, and draining the tank. Flexible hose is ideal for connecting cleaning equipment to the system. Verify that the construction materials of the valves and hose are compatible with the cleaning solutions.

6.6. System Preparation for Cleaning or Sanitization

NOTE: The following cleaning procedures are based on the piping set up shown in Figure 6-1. If your piping setup is different, you may need to alter these procedures.

• Turn off the DC power supply.

• Close the following valves to the VNX system:

o Feed Valve

o Product Valve

• Connect the discharge of the cleaning pump to the VNX feed CIP connection.

• Connect the module’s feed, reject and product CIP connections to the cleaning tank.

• Verify that all piping connections are secure.

• Close cleaning pump discharge valve until ready to pump the cleaning solution into the VNX system.



Figure 6-1: Typical VNX System Piping for Cleaning and Sanitization.

6.7. Cleaning and Chemical Sanitization Procedures

• Avoid direct skin contact with cleaning chemicals. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.

• Pressure test cleaning skid with water before adding chemicals to tank.

• Flush all hoses and tank with clean water BEFORE adding chemicals.

• To reduce the possibility of chemical sprays, relieve the pressure in chemical lines before

disassembly.

• Follow the manufacturer’s chemical safety instructions on the container labels.

• Check the pH level in any solution before letting it flow to the drain. Follow all discharge

limitations.



• Do not run a cleaning solution through the system when DC power is applied to the module. Make sure the DC power is off before cleaning.

The system can be cleaned and sanitized with any of five (5) different solutions, depending on what needs to be removed:

• Hydrochloric acid (2%) – For removing scale and metal oxides. • Sodium chloride/sodium hydroxide (5% brine/1% caustic) – For removing organic

foulants and biofilm. • Sodium percarbonate – For removing organic foulants, reducing pressure drop, and

sanitizing. • Peracetic Acid – Used for routine sanitizing to discourage the growth of bacterial films. • Aggressive Multi-Agent cleaning for Biofilm– Recommended for general biofouling with

increase in pressure drop. This aggressive cleaning protocol consists of 5% sodium chloride followed by a 2% sodium hydroxide and then followed by a 1% sodium percarbonate with a final 5% sodium chloride flush. The combination of these treatments performed sequentially has proven to be more effective than any single treatment performed separately.

• Aggressive Multi-Agent cleaning for Fouling/scaling – Recommended for fouling and scale remediation with drop in performance combined with increased electrical stack resistance. Aggressive sequential cleaning protocol of salt (5% sodium chloride) then followed by caustic (2% sodium hydroxide) followed by acid (2% hydrochloric acid) with a final 5% sodium chloride flush (see Service Bulletin 2007-02). Extended soaking or increasing the acid concentration in the range from 2%-4% HCl based on the severity of electrical stack resistance increase increases the benefits of this treatment.

NOTE: If you are unsure whether the module is scaled or organically fouled, clean first with hydrochloric

acid and then follow with the brine/caustic cleaning.

6.8. Cleaning with 2.0% Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

Hydrochloric acid is a corrosive chemical. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing when using this or any corrosive chemicals.

Cleaning with Hydrochloric Acid involves three steps:

1. Hydrochloric acid treatment (2% HCl),

2. A salt flush (5% NaCl), and

3. Water flush. STEP 1: Recirculating The HCl Solution

NOTE: This is the minimum amount of HCl required. It may be necessary to use additional HCl to effectively clean a scaled Module. Monitor the pH of the solution during the recirculation period. If the pH begins to rise, add more HCl to maintain a pH of approximately 0.5. Circulating HCl through the system removes scale and metal oxides from the module.

Chemicals necessary for Step 1 (2% HCl) VNX50 Water (RO permeate or CEDI product) 99 gal (375 liters) 36.5% Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) 4.2 gal (16.2 liters)

NOTE: The following cleaning procedures are based on the piping setup shown in Figure 4-1.

1. Prepare the VNX system for chemical cleaning. Follow the instructions in Section 6.5. Make sure the tank drain valve is closed.

2. Fill the tank with the required amount of water.

3. Mix the required amount of 36.5% (concentrated) HCl with the water in the tank. Additional HCl may be required during the recirculation period.

4. Open the pump suction and pump bypass valves completely.

5. Start the cleaning pump.

6. When chemicals are well mixed, gradually open the pump discharge valve while closing the pump bypass valve to adjust the product and reject flow rates to the values given in Section 6.5.

7. Recirculate the solution through the module for 30 minutes. Longer contact time may be desirable in some instances. If longer contact time is desired, contact Ionpure Technical Support.

8. Monitor the pH of the solution during the recirculation period. If the pH begins to rise, add more HCl to maintain a pH of approximately 0.5.

9. Turn off the cleaning pump.

10. Check pH. Neutralize if necessary. Drain the tank.

STEP 2: Salt Flush To Drain

This salt flush rinses the cleaning solution from the module, and returns the ion exchange resin to the sodium and chloride forms.

drain.

2. Fill the tank with the water.

3. Dissolve the sodium chloride (NaCl) in the water.

4. Start the cleaning pump and flush through the module to drain for about three minutes.


6. Drain the tank.

STEP 3: Water Flush To Drain

Water flushes the cleaning solution and salt out of the system, and prepares the system for return to operation.



1. Close the pump discharge valve. Keep product and reject lines directed to drain and disconnect the cleaning equipment from the module.

2. Turn on the feed water supply to the system. Slowly open the feed valve to allow RO product water to flow through the module to drain.

3. After flushing all residual cleaning solutions from the system, follow the initial start-up procedures in Section 3 of this manual. Start without the DC power applied to the VNX module for five minutes and then restore normal DC power.

6.9. Cleaning with 5% Brine + 1% Caustic Solution

Sodium Hydroxide is a corrosive chemical. Wear glasses, gloves, and protective clothing when using this or any corrosive chemicals.

A 5% sodium chloride (NaCl)/1% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution works well for removing organic foulants from the module. Also see Ionpure.com for Service Bulletin IPSB-2007-02.

6.10. Cleaning or Sanitizing with Sodium Percarbonate

Sodium percarbonate, sodium carbonate, and hydrogen peroxide are corrosive chemicals. Avoid contact with these chemicals.

Do not use powdered sodium percarbonate. It may contain impurities that could harm the module.

Sodium percarbonate is a combination of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and hydrogen peroxide. It is an effective biocide and it reduces organic fouling and plugging. In addition, it is an effective cleaner for removal of biofilms. Flush the VNX module with a 5% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution both before and after sodium percarbonate sanitization. The initial NaCl rinse removes metal ions, particularly calcium, and magnesium ions from the module.

The sanitization procedure for sodium percarbonate involves five steps:

1. An initial salt flush

2. A water flush

3. The percarbonate cleaning

4. A second salt flush

5. A final water flush
