After a period of use, RO membranes may accumulate fouling due to contaminants such as calcium, magnesium, metal oxides, organic microorganisms, etc. If not controlled promptly, this fouling can damage the membrane elements in a short amount of time.
RO systems should be regularly monitored to detect issues early and investigate the causes of any problems.
Under normal water pressure conditions, membrane cleaning operations should be conducted in the following situations:-
When the produced water quantity decreases by more than 20%
-
When TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) increases by more than 10%
-
When the rejection rate is less than 95%. (Rejection rate = 100 - (RO purified water / feed water))
-
When the pressure differential between feed water and reject water increases by 15% or more15%
In cases of severe fouling in RO systems, offline cleaning can be employed. This involves removing heavily contaminated membrane elements from the RO unit and placing them in a specialized cleaning device for chemical cleaning. Offline cleaning allows for precise control of cleaning parameters without the risk of secondary pollution, resulting in effective removal of fouling and improved water production and pressure reduction.
RO membrane cleaning devices not only facilitate offline cleaning but also allow for testing of membranes before and after cleaning to assess cleaning effectiveness and membrane performance recovery. This provides a visual comparison of membrane condition before and after cleaning.
Pharmaceutical RO membrane cleaning machine features-
Independent acid and alkali reagent tanks reduce chemical usage. The pipeline is made of SCH80 PVC pipes, while pumps and fittings are made of SUS#316 material, ensuring durability. The metal frame and RO casing are powder-coated for sturdiness
-
The patented RO end cap design allows for quick and easy replacement. Cleaning and testing can be completed in one step, with single-test confirmation ensuring efficiency
-
Multiple membrane cleaning can be performed at once, reducing water and chemical consumption. After cleaning, RO membranes can be restored to over 99% of their original performance
-
Manual or automatic operation options allow for easy equipment management by personnel
Cleaning agents
The preparation and use of cleaning agents can involve purchasing pre-formulated cleaning solutions. Regardless of the chosen solution, it's crucial to understand the condition of the RO membrane. Using the wrong cleaning agent can potentially exacerbate the situation. -
