Proper Maintenance of Desalination High Pressure Pump

The desalination high pressure pump is a core equipment of RO systems, and its stable operation directly affects freshwater production efficiency and system energy consumption. The desalination high pressure pump maintenance can effectively prevent salt scaling, corrosion, and sealing component wear, ensure long-term efficient operation of the equipment and reduce failures and unplanned downtime. Moreover, maintenance can extend the pump's service life, lower repair and replacement costs, and improve the overall reliability and economic efficiency of the system, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the seawater desalination process.

Key Points for Daily Maintenance

1. Operational Condition Inspection
   • Monitor the pump's pressure, flow rate, and temperature to ensure operating parameters remain within the recommended range.
   • Check for any abnormal vibrations, noise, or leaks, and troubleshoot issues promptly.
2. Cleaning and Corrosion Prevention
   • Regularly flush the pump and pipelines to prevent salt buildup, dirt accumulation, or marine organism attachment.
   • Ensure the pump surface is free from corrosion or damage; if there is any damage, repair it promptly.
3. Bearing and Seal Inspection
   • Designed with water lubrication, eliminating the need for lubricating oil, but regular inspection of bearing and mechanical seal wear is still required.
   • Check for any leaks; and if seal damage is detected, replace the sealing components promptly.
4. Fastener and Connector Inspection
   • Check all bolts and pipe connections to ensure they are secure, preventing failures caused by loosening during operation.
   • Ensure high-pressure pipelines are leak-free to minimize pressure loss.
5. High-Pressure System Maintenance
   • Regularly inspect the energy recovery device to ensure it works in conjunction with the high-pressure pump, improving system energy efficiency.
   • Avoid dry running; ensure sufficient inlet pressure to prevent pump damage.
6. Trial Runs and Record Keeping
   • Conduct short test runs periodically to verify the pump can start and stop normally.
   • Record operational data, including pressure, flow rate, temperature, to analyze trends and prevent potential failures in advance.

The desalination high pressure pump utilizes water lubrication technology, requiring low maintenance; however, regular checks of seals, fasteners, and operating parameters are necessary to keep it clean and prevent scaling accumulation, ensuring long-term efficient operation.
