4 Definitions
Anthracite: A granular hard coal used as a filtration medium in multi-media filters.
Backwash: The procedure used to flush deposited solids out of the granular filter at the
end of the filter run. This normally involves feeding clean water in the base of the
granular bed and washing it in an upward direction.
Design Engineer: The Engineering Company responsible for specifying the design
requirements for ROS on the drawing sheet, in accordance with the requirements of this
specification.

Page 4 of 18
Filter Medium: The term filter "media" is in common use to describe granular filtering
materials. Grammatically, it is plural and should apply to the bulk material to be
installed in several filters. (A single filter has a filter medium). To avoid ambiguity the
term "filtering material" used in the American Water Works Association (AWWA
B100) specification is preferred.
Packing layer: A granular material, coarser than the working filtering material, which
is not intended to capture suspended solids and neither is it intended to move or be
fluidized during filter backwash.
Polyelectrolyte: An organic chemical compound with many repeated structural units
produced by uniting many primary units, called monomers. It is added to the water to
agglomerate particles into larger groupings called flocs, which then settle by gravity.
Pretreatment: All the unit operations upstream of the reverse osmosis (RO) system
that have purpose to eliminate or minimize the fouling potential of the RO feed water.
Saudi Aramco Inspector: The person or company authorized by the Saudi Aramco
Inspection Department to inspect ROS to the requirements of this specification.
Silt Density Index (SDI): A measurement of the rate of plugging of a 0.45 micron
Millipore filter at 207 kPa (30 psig) applied pressure.
5 General Requirements
5.1 The vendor shall be fully responsible for the performance of the system and for
each component in the system for a minimum of one year.
5.2 The skid shall support the total system for transportation to the field and shall
require only setting on a prepared deck or foundation. After making field
connections to prepared terminal points it should be ready for commissioning.
5.3 Each skid shall support complete subsystems (e.g., pretreatment system,
chemical cleaning system), requiring only skid-to-skid and terminal point
connections in the field.
5.4 The skid shall be fully automatic, including backwashing of all systems and
chemical injection. However, the membrane cleaning system shall be designed
for manual and automatic operation.
5.5 The vendor shall provide all the special tools for assembly, disassembly, and
unit maintenance, along with complete instructions for their use.
5.6 Provisions shall be made, where applicable, to prevent organic growth and
dehydration of membranes during shutdown.

6 Performance Guarantees
6.1 The water quality produced shall comply with the Saudi Aramco Sanitary Code
(SASC-S-17) relating to quality of water intended for human consumption.
6.2 The vendor shall guarantee that the membrane, when operated in accordance
with the instruction manual, will produce the specified product water flow rate
at the specified water quality for a minimum of three years from the date of
commissioning.
6.3 The vendor shall propose pretreatment chemicals (scale inhibitor, coagulant,
flocculent) approved by the membrane manufacturer and Consulting Services
Department of Saudi Aramco. These chemicals shall comply with applicable
health regulations and the vendor shall state the recommended and guaranteed
maximum dosage.
7 Design
The design of the RO skid shall be based on an accurate raw water analysis provided by
the proponent and checked by the vendor. This analysis should include all the
parameters shown in the technical data sheet "water analysis" in the Appendix.
Analyses for suspended solids (SS), pH, alkalinity and gases should be performed at the
point of sampling or alternatively pressurized samples should be taken if analyses are to
be carried out in the laboratory. The membrane design configuration and performance
should be determined on the basis of computer projection programs. These projections
should be within the membrane manufacturers' design guidelines. Additionally,
antiscalant projections should be carried out to determine the required dosage of
antiscalant for scaling prevention. Copies of the output of these programs should be
made available for review by CSD in order to check that the optimum membrane
configuration is being used as well as the optimum antiscalant dosage.
The RO Skid Unit shall contain, but not necessarily be limited to, the following
equipment:
7.1 Pretreatment System
The pretreatment system shall consist of a filtration section in conjunction with
chemical conditioning. The system shall ensure that the Silt Density Index
(SDI) meets the membrane manufacturer's SDI requirements.

anticipated media expansion level) to provide additional safeguard
against media losses during backwash. The system shall provide
