3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3.1 Demineralisation (DM) Plant

The proposed DM Plant will primarily meet the make up water demand for the
pool evaporation loss. The daily requirement of DM water for pool makeup is 1 m3
(1000 lt).Service water from BMC will be stored in an underground service water
reservoir. From the Service water reservoir, the water will be pumped at a rate of
2.4 m3/hr (40 lpm) directly to DM plant through DM Plant Feed Pumps. The inlet
pressure of water to the DM plant is 5.0 kg/cm2. DM Plant feed pumps will take
suction from service water storage tank, and force the water through Activated
Carbon Filter and Cation Exchanger to the Anion Exchanger and finally through
Mixed Bed Exchanger. Finally DM water will be stored in an underground DM
water storage reservoir. The DM water will be pumped to the pool for makeup.
The DM plant is proposed to operate once in a week for 4 hrs in a day, to produce
9600 litre of DM water per week. However, in case of urgency of DM water the
plant may operate continuously for 8 hrs in every day of a week.
All the ion exchangers should be of Non regenerative type i.e, no regeneration
of ion exchanger beds as well as acid /alkali handling are desired. The resin
shall be removed after minimum production of 270 m3 of DM water in 6 months.
The operation of demineralisation plant will be manual. The backwashing of

activated carbon filters and rinsing of all ion exchangers will be done
manually. Once a filter/ exchanger has been backwashed, operator will have to
manually put back the vessel into service. On exhaustion of any vessel, the
particular filter/ exchangers will be completely isolated from the system. The
resin/ activated carbon replacement and fresh resin/activated carbon charging shall
be done manually.
As described above the DM plant shall consist of following major items:
Activated Carbon Filter (1 No)-Cation Exchanger (1 No) (compact layered

bed of strongly acidic cation resins)-Anion Exchangers (compact layered bed
of strongly basic anion resins) 2 Nos (One operating/one standby)-Mixed Bed
Exchanger (1 No) –Under ground DM Water Storage reservoir.
No pumps shall be in the scope of the vendor. Under ground storage reservoir
is already available the site.
July,2016
The desired arrangement of the DM plant has been shown in piping & equipment
layout as enclosed with this specification.
The design raw water analysis and details of the DM Plant is given in
ANNEXURE-A.
3.2 Online polishing plant (OLP)
The water in Underground DM water storage reservoir will be polished whenever

the quality of DM water deteriorates. The polishing will be carried out by
recirculating the DM water through a filter (Polypropylene Cartridge type) and a
non-regenerative mixed bed (MB) ion exchanger. The inlet pressure of water to the
online polishing plant is 5.5 kg/cm2. The polishing flow of 15m3/hr (250 lpm) is
passed through the cartridge filter first and only 1.2 m3/hr of flow (20 lpm) is
passed through the mixed bed ion exchanger. The rest of the flow from filter outlet
is bypassed to the mixed bed outlet. The water from mixed bed outlet will returned
to the underground DM water storage reservoir. The entire operation of the plant
will be manual.
As described above the Online Polishing plant shall consist of following major
items:
Polypropylene Cartridge type Filter -1No, Non regenerative type Mixed Bed
Ion exchanger- 1 No.
No pumps shall be in the scope of the vendor. Under ground storage reservoir
is already available the site.

SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Orifice plate and flange assembly shall be as per ISO 5167 & ISA RP 3.2
2. All transmitters shall be SMART, 4-20 mA and HART protocol type.
3. Conductivity meter shall be online and the sensor shall be retractable type.
4. If the individual Pressure gauges provided at inlet and outlet of a process equipment ( like
filters, strainers) are not suitable to measure the differential pressure (because of accuracy
limitations of the gauges), the vendor shall provide a differential pressure gauge.
