4. Commissioning the product

These commissioning guidelines concern both fresh-water

installations and systems for desalination.

– BMS hs pump.

– BMS hp pump.

– BMST system. See section 4.4 BMST system.

– BMSX system. See section 4.5 BMSX system.

Commissioning of BMSX booster systems must be performed by

Grundfos technicians or by audited partners acting as the service

suppliers for Grundfos.

Furthermore, we recommend that commissioning of BMS hs,

BMS hp and BMST systems is performed by Grundfos

technicians or audited partners.

Commissioning includes report and on-site training of the people

who will be responsible for maintaining and monitoring the

system.

4.1 Checking the power supply

In case a further motor check is required, proceed as follows:

• BMS hs with PM or AC motor: Disconnect the frequency

converter and lock the shaft of the PM motor. Even

unpowered, a motor with permanent magnets will generate

voltage if rotated.

• BMS hp with MG or MGE motor: Follow the instructions in the

installation and operating instructions for the MG or MGE

motor.

Warning

The sound pressure level is so high that hearing

protection must be used.

WARNING

Pressurised system

Death or serious personal injury

- Be aware of pressurised pipe systems even after

shut down.

1. Supply

voltage

TM00 1371 3597

Measure the voltage between the

phases with a voltmeter.

Connect the voltmeter to the terminals

of the frequency converter.

When the motor is loaded, the voltage must be within ± 5 % of the rated

voltage. If the voltage varies more than that, the motor may burn.

If the voltage is constantly too high or too low, replace the motor with a

motor that corresponds to the supply voltage.

Large variations in the supply voltage indicate poor power supply, and

you must stop the pump until the defect has been found.

It may be necessary to reset the frequency converter.

2. Current

consumption

TM00 1372 3597

Measure the current of each phase

while the pump is operating at a

constant outlet pressure (if possible at

the performance where the motor is

most heavily loaded).

For information on the normal

operating current, see the "Technical

specifications".

The difference between the current of the phase with the highest current

consumption and the one with the lowest current consumption must not

exceed 10 % of the lowest current consumption.

If it does, or if the current exceeds the full-load current, check these

possible faults:

• A damaged pump is causing the motor to be overloaded. Pull the pump

out of the sleeve for overhaul.

• The motor windings are short-circuited or partly disjointed.

• Too high or too low supply voltage.

• Poor connection in leads. Weak cables.

4.5 BMSX system

4.5.1 Flow control and balancing

Flow rates and pressures in a typical BMSX system vary slightly

over the life of the system due to temperature variations,

membrane fouling and feed salinity variations. The rotor of the

pressure exchanger is powered by the flow of fluid through the

unit. The speed of the rotor is self-adjusting over the operating

range of the pressure exchanger pump.

4.5.2 Before startup

Follow these instructions to ensure correct startup of the BMSX

system.

1. See section 4.2 BMS hs pump and 4.3 BMS hp pump.

2. Check that the installation corresponds to the diagram.

4.5.3 Startup

To start up a BMSX system, proceed as follows:

1. All valves must be in their normal operating positions.

2. Start the raw-water feed pump (1). When the raw-water feed

pump is started, the system is filled with water. Make sure that

the entire system is vented. The feed flow (17) through the

pressure exchanger (23) may or may not cause the rotor to

begin to rotate. Rotation will be confirmed by a humming

noise.

3. Adjust the flow rate and pressure within the maximum and

minimum values stated on the PX nameplate.

Fig. 27 Starting the seawater feed pump

4. Adjust the concentrate valve (24) to the system flow.

5. Vent the system.

6. When you have filled the system with water and vented it, see

the BMS hp startup procedure.

7. Starting the BMS hp pump (14). See section 4.3.2 Startup.

so the high-pressure pump will automatically shut

down if the booster pump shuts down.

TM05 9619 4213

The maximum flow rate of the pressure exchanger

must never be exceeded. See the nameplate of the

pressure exchanger.

WARNING

Pressurised system

Death or serious personal injury

- The BMS hp pump must not run against a closed

outlet valve for more than 5 seconds.

- Ensure a minimum liquid flow through the pump by

connecting a bypass or drain to the outlet side of

the pump. The drain can be connected to a tank.

Fig. 28 System pressure and flow, BMS hp

The rotor speed will increase, and remaining air will be released

from the pressure exchanger. Vent any remaining air from the

system.

Adjust the frequency converter of the BMS hp pump (14) on the

outlet side of the pressure exchanger (23) until the low-pressure

seawater inlet flow (17) equals the calculated seawater flow (15).

Fig. 29 Balanced flows

To achieve a balanced flow through the pressure exchanger (23),

use the flowmeters installed on the low-pressure seawater inlet

pipe (17) and the high-pressure seawater pipe (15). All flows in

and out of the pressure exchanger (23) must be balanced to

within 5 % for optimum operation.

A lower flow in the seawater inlet than the seawater outlet will

result in lower-quality permeate, increased feed pressure and

higher energy consumption. We recommend that you use a

slightly oversized BMS hp pump (14) to handle projected

membrane concentrate flows, taking seasonal variations,

membrane fouling and manifold losses into account. The flow and

pressure of the BMS hp pump (14) must be controlled with a

frequency converter.

To start up a BMS hs pump (6), proceed as follows:

See section 4.2.2 Startup.

Fig. 30 System in operation

The BMSX system pressure will increase. The sound pressure

level from the pressure exchanger (23) will increase. Small

variations in sound pressure level and rotor speed are normal.

4.6 Low-pressure flow control

The concentrate valve (24) on the outlet side of the system must

be adjusted to control the flow rate of the low-pressure seawater

inlet (17) and low-pressure concentrate outlet (22) (minimum 1

bar backpressure). This valve (24) also adds backpressure on the

pressure exchanger (23) required to prevent destructive

cavitation. The low-pressure seawater inlet flow (17) equals the

high-pressure concentrate inlet flow (15).

TM05 9620 4213TM05 9620 4213

Built-in non-return valve

Operating the pressure exchanger with unbalanced

flows may result in contamination of the seawater

feed by the concentrate and consequently lower

efficiency.

Neither the low-pressure nor the high-pressure flow

through the pressure exchanger must ever exceed

the rated maximum flow. The only reliable way to

determine the flows is to use a low-pressure

flowmeter (16) or a high-pressure flowmeter (14),

respectively.

5. Handling and storing the product

If the pumps have to be stored, the location must be frost-free.

6. Product introduction

Grundfos BMS, BMST and BMSX booster systems are designed

for high pressure boosting, filtraton and desalination of seawater

or brackish water in the so-called SWRO systems (SWRO = Sea

Water Reverse Osmosis). The design of the systems ensures

high energy recovery.

6.1 Nameplate

Fig. 1 Nameplate

6.2 Pumped liquids

Thin, non-explosive liquids, not containing solid particles or

fibres. The liquid must not chemically attack the pump materials.

In case of doubt, contact Grundfos.

The pumps must never operate with water or liquid containing

substances which would remove the surface tension, e.g. soap. If

you use this type of detergent to clean the system, the water or

liquid must be led around the pumps via a bypass.

6.3 Filtration

BMS hs, BMS hp, BMST: Filter the raw water to maximum 30

microns.

BMSX: Filter the raw water to maximum 10 microns.

Fig. 2 Filtration

6.4 Flushing and salinity

When the booster system is stopped, it is very important to flush

the system according to these guidelines.

7. Servicing the product

Check the following at suitable intervals, preferably daily:

• flow rate and pressure

• whether the noise level has changed.

We recommend that you write the operating data in a log book as

they may be useful in connection with maintenance.

7.1 Motor bearings

The pumps are factory-fitted with a manual motor-bearing

greasing system. See the motor nameplate or the installation and

operating instructions supplied with the motor for information

such as greasing intervals..

7.1.1 Type of grease

See motor nameplate.

7.2 Preventive maintenance

The preventive maintenance tasks recommended in this section

are common for all systems and for average operating conditions.

In case the operating conditions are unfavourable, the

maintenance tasks must be performed more frequently, and they

can vary from installation to installation, for instance due to

unexpected changes of the raw water quality.

To see any variation in the pump performance and be able to

react to this, we recommend that you keep a log book of the daily

operation.

* Use one gasket kit every time a pressure exchanger is opened for inspection.

For further information on maintenance and service, refer to the

separate documents supplied for each component and/or

Grundfos Product Center.

DANGER
