The below chart illustrates nominal parameters for each system model. The most useful parameters for system diagnostics are Total Flow Rate, Feed Pressure, & Recovery Rate.
The following statements are breakdowns referencing the above chart that designate numbers in which each system must reach to be able to achieve spec production levels.
QUICK REFERENCE SYSTEM PARAMETERS:
The feed pump pushes water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 6.4 L/M (384 L/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 60-70 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 5.5%-6.5% of this into freshwater (21 L/H – 25 L/H Freshwater).
The feed pump pushes water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 1.7 G/M (102 G/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 60-70 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 5.5%-6.5% of this into freshwater (5.61 G/H – 6.63 G/H Freshwater).
Ventura 200/Cape Horn LO Imperial
The feed pump pushes water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 1.7 G/M, this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 80-100 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9% of this into freshwater (7.7 G/H – 8.2 G/H Freshwater).

The feed pump moves water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 10.2 L/M (612 L/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 90-100 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (49.2 L/H – 58.3 L/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 2.3 G/M (138 G/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 80-90 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (11.04 G/H – 13.11 G/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 2.2 G/M (132 G/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 80-90 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (11.04 G/H – 13.11 G/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 10.6 L/M (636 L/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 6.3-7.0 bar. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (49 L/H – 54 L/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 2.6 G/M (156 G/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 90-100 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (12.9 G/H – 14.2 G/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 10.6 L/M (638 L/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 6.3-7.7 bar. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (51 L/H – 60 L/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 2.7 G/M (162 G/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at 90-110 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 8%-9.5% of this into freshwater (11.5 G/H – 17 G/H Freshwater).
The feed pump and motor push water into the Clark Pump at a rate of 2.6 G/M (156 G/H), this is the total flow. The pump should be capable of doing this at ~180 psi. Then the Clark Pump converts 17%-18.5% of this into freshwater (26.5 G/H – 28.9 G/H Freshwater).
