Chemical Feeding and Control
- The cleaning solution should be prepared using RO permeate or softened water that is free of residual chlorine or other oxidizing agents.
- For optimal cleaning, pH should be adjusted to 2 using hydrochloric acid without exceeding the values recommended by the manuafacturer
- Use a 1% by weight solution of MW C-101, depending on severity of fouling.
- The cleaning solution is then circulated throughout the system without exceeding pressures, temperatures and flow rates recommended by the membrane manufacturer.
- Cleaning efficacy can be further improved by heating the cleaning solution and alternately circulating the solution for 60 minutes and then soaking the membranes for 60 minutes and then soaking the membranes for 30- 60 minutes for a total cleaning time of 4-6 hours.
- This should be repeated as many times as necessary. Sodium hydroxide should be added as necessary to the cleaning solution to maintain the pH range of 11- 12 throughout the entire cleaning process. Depending on severity of fouling, your Membrane Works representative will recommend optimal cleaning times.
