Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability Testing of High Pressure Pumping Units for the Mobile Army 600 Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit.
Abstract
Mobile reverse osmosis water purification units (ROWPUs) are used by the Army for production of potable water from saline, brackish, and freshwater sources. The reverse osmosis is a membrane process that requires a high pressure feed stream; therefore, a high pressure pump is a key component of the ROWPU. This report provides data collected from a unified testing program applicable to all high pressure pumping units that have potential use as ROWPU components. The testing program consists of three phases (initial inspection, start-up testing, and endurance testing). All pumping units evaluated during this testing were subjected to the three test phases.
