Conditions of pH, temperature and contact time are vital for optimum efficiency and to prevent damage to the membranes. A thorough understanding how different foulants interact both in the laboratory and in the field helps us design the correct cleaning program for your system.
Our laboratories are equipped to analyze a sample of your membrane which will enable us to identify the most appropriate cleaning method. Our experienced team will then design the correct CIP (cleaning in place) programme for your plant. Please complete & return the following survey for to allow us to assist with your cleaning requirements.
Membrane replacement costs are a significant factor in long term operational expenditure, any increase in membrane life is a welcome addition to a chemical treatment regime.
Frequent poorly controlled cleaning procedures can result in membrane damage with a consequent deterioration in performance. Taking into account lost production and input of man hours membrane cleaning can become an expensive process.
It is therefore vital that correct chemicals and procedures are adopted to ensure optimum foulant removal and minimum cleaning frequency. The aim of a well designed cleaning procedure is as follows:
Genesys has designed a range of chemical solutions to tackle membrane fouling commonly found in reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) systems including metal foulants such as iron and manganese, organics and biofilms and also inorganic deposits such as calcium carbonate and silica. From alkaline solutions to surfactant-based formulations, our cleaners effectively remove colloidal particles, biofilm, and other fouling agents, restoring membrane performance to optimal levels.
Our Membrane Cleaning Wizard is a simple online tool to help you work out the best way to clean a reverse osmosis membrane.
We specialize in producing specialty chemicals and offering membrane testing services that allow reverse osmosis (RO) plants to operate efficiently in areas where feed waters are challenging.
