 Lowest operating cost option for total scheme
The ROCHEM Answer
PT(HP)-RO!
High Pressure-RO Systems – 75, 90, 120 &

225 Bar – first installation under execution
ROCHEM High Pressure-RO Systems – PT(HP)-RO:
An Overview
A few advantages of Rochem PT(HP)-RO systems are as follows:
1. Reduction in costs for the thermal systems

Rochem PT(HP)-RO system can be applied on existing RO rejects
thereby further reducing the final volume of effluent to be treated for disposal.
2. Reduction in steam consumption

As HP-RO gives a more concentrated reject at further reduced volumes, the
steam consumption is reduced.
3. Lower operating/ treatment cost of HP-RO systems

Lesser power requirement & no steam consumption. Treatment costs can be
drastically reduced due to absence of need for operating fuel and lower power
costs.
ROCHEM High Pressure-RO Systems – PT(HP)-RO:
An Overview
4. Compact and modular construction of the membrane system
The unique design offers versatile features like smaller foot print, ease in
handling, replicability and isolation in case of fault.
5. No thermal stress
Handling higher volumes of RO reject effluents by HP-RO systems is easier
and with no frequent mechanical & process failures.

What’s Next?
• HP-RO installations √
• Progressive cost saving √
• Satisfied X (there’s always room for betterment)
Energy Utilization??
Energy Recovery Device (ERD)!!
• As a pressure driven process, the High Pressure pump’s energy

consumption is the main component of Operating cost in an RO plant.
• After Permeate extraction from feed water, the reject leaves the RO
plant at High Pressure (over 50 bar).
• An Energy Recovery Device utilizes this Reject pressure energy and

transfers it to the feed line to pressurize the feed partially and thus
reduces the overall energy consumption by substantial amounts (from
30-70% based on Recovery).
Energy Recovery Device
 Eliminates the need for HP Pump, its capex, maintenance

and Energy costs
 Reduces the overall cost of additional permeate recovery
Energy Recovery Device
ERD…background
• Rochem has been working with ERDs since early 2003. Conducted
first trials on Distillery waste water at Kanoria Chemicals at
Ankleshwar in 2004-2005.
• The migration of the technology to Waste water applications has been

initiated and currently 2 industrial waste water clients in Textile are
operating with ERDs to reduce energy need.
• ERDs in Distillery sector are under execution for orders at M/s

SAF Yeast ltd and M/s KSSK in Maharashtra.
• We now propose to bring the same advantages to Jubilant.

ERD…Success story so far
Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) has been the biggest beneficiary of
ERD technology.
• Traditionally the Energy required for SWRO used to be 10 kWhr/m3

permeate. By use of ERDs this now stand reduced to below 3
kWhr/m3 permeate, almost a 70% reduction.
• Several SWRO installations including a large 2500 m3/d SWRO

system installed at Syngenta – Goa are running successfully at low
energy consumption. Other large systems include Hetero & PWD Port
Blair.
• Based on this reduction in Energy costs, over the past 2 decades, RO

has overtaken the installed base of Desalination and proved more
competitive to Thermal systems even in markets such as the Oil rich
Gulf (ME) region.
