APPLICATION GUIDE // WATER & IRRIGATION

Pressure Transmitters for RO Systems

Industrial reverse osmosis skids, seawater desalination, brackish water & DI polishing

THE OPERATING CHALLENGE

Why Standard Catalog Sensors Often Fail in this Application

High pressure booster pumps create sudden startup spikes, while high salinity (TDS) and chlorine / brine water severely attack low-grade stainless steels.

PROCESS PARAMETER PROFILEENGINEERING BASELINE
Typical Working Range:0–10 bar (Cartridge filter inlet/outlet), 0–70 bar (High pressure RO membrane feed)
Process Media:Raw water, brackish water, concentrated brine, permeate water
Fluid & Ambient Temp:5°C to +50°C
Primary Failure Risk:Pitting corrosion from high chlorides and membrane differential fouling
ENGINEERING SELECTION CHECKLIST

What to Specify When Ordering for this Process

  • SS316L wetted diaphragm as minimum; Hastelloy-C available for high-chlorine sea brine
  • Dual pressure transmitters or DP sensor across cartridge pre-filters for automated backwash
  • Snubber installed on high-pressure multi-stage centrifugal pump discharge
  • IP65 / IP67 water splash proof electrical housing
ACT FIELD INSTALLATION ADVICE

Placing transmitters both before and after the membrane bank provides immediate calculation of transmembrane pressure (TMP), the key indicator of fouling.
