1、Designation: D 4472 08Standard Guide forRecordkeeping for Reverse Osmosis and NanofiltrationSystems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4472; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers procedures for well-defined record-keeping of reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF)systems.1.2 This gui
3、de includes a start-up report, recordkeeping ofRO and NF operating data, recordkeeping of pretreatmentoperating data, and a maintenance log.1.3 This guide is applicable to waters including brackishwaters and seawaters but is not necessarily applicable towastewaters.1.4 The values stated in SI units
4、are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practic
5、es and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

8、terms used in this guide,refer to Terminology D 1129 and D 6161.4. Significance and Use4.1 Proper operation and maintenance of RO and NFsystems are key factors in obtaining successful performance.This guide provides the necessary input for the evaluation ofthe performance of the RO and NF systems, t
9、he pretreatmentsystem, and the mechanical equipment in the plant.4.2 This guide is for general guidance only and must not beused in place of the operating manual for a particular plant.4.3 Site-dependent factors prevent specific recommenda-tions for all recordkeeping. Thus, only the more generalreco
10、rdkeeping is covered by this guide.4.4 This guide can be used for both brackish and seawatersystems which contain either spiral-wound or hollow-fiberdevices.5. Procedure5.1 Start-Up Report:5.1.1 Provide a complete description of the RO or NF plant.This can be done by using a flow diagram and equipme
11、nt,instrumentation, and material lists to show water source,pretreatment system, RO or NF configuration, and posttreat-ment system.5.1.2 Record initial performance of RO or NF and pretreat-ment systems as provided in 5.2 and 5.3, respectively.5.1.3 Calibrate all gauges and meters based on manufactur
12、ers recommendations.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Water and isthe direct responsibility of Subcommittee D19.08 on Membranes and Ion ExchangeMaterials.Current edition approved May 1, 2008.

For hollow-fiber dev
15、ices also record the brine pressurefor each permeator.5.2.3 Record the water temperature of the feed stream afterthe RO or NF pump or of the permeate stream.5.2.4 Record the pH of the feed, permeate, and brinestreams.5.2.5 Record the conductivity of the feed, permeate, andbrine streams for each stag
16、e. For hollow-fiber devices, alsorecord the brine conductivity of each permeator. For conduc-tivity measurements use Test Methods D 1125.5.2.6 Record the Silt Density Index (SDI) or turbidity of theRO or NF feed stream, or both. For SDI measurements use TestMethod D 4189. For turbidity measurement u
