The Existing Situation

The existing plant is unreliable plant and has the following problems:

1. Type of membranes (HFF) is obsolete. 2. There are reliability concerns.3. High maintenance cost comparing with other RO plant.4. More chemical consumption.5. The other water treatment plants (old plants) will be

demolished due to aging.

Value Study ProposalVE team recommended the following proposal to design the water treatment plant:-

1. Use sea water membranes.2. Eliminate the deminilizers. 3. Eliminate the deaerator.

The final product of sea water SW membranes will meet the requirement of water quality (TDS will be less than 5 ppm). Also, the new plant production which is 1000 gpm will not be affected by this change.

Using sea water membranes will increase the initial cost of the membranes by $ 800,000 but will eliminate the need for deminilizers and dearteator.

Proposal Advantages 1. Reduce the initial cost

2. Eliminate unrequited equipments.

3. Minimize chemicals consumption.

4. Reduce the maintenance cost.

5. Safety.

1. How should it be implemented? VE proposal will be discussed with the engineering

and project team to remove any roadblocks prior to management presentation

2. What should be changed and in what sequence? The proposed case will be discussed with

engineering team.

3. Who should do it? Engineering department.

4. How long should it take? 5 months

5. Any deadline required? Before issuing the IFC package.
