RO Membrane Cleaner

Chemtex’s RO Membrane Cleaners for Silica & Iron Foulants are membrane cleaners specifically designed to remove silica & iron fouling. It also has effectiveness against light calcium carbonate scaling. Its efficacy can be enhanced by adding low/high Ph cleaners to the cleaning solution although some minor pH correction may be necessary.

It should always be used as recommended by the membrane manufacturer or equipment supplier, in respect to cleaning pH and temperature.

It also contains organic dispersants that helps to break down colloidal clay deposits and imparts better efficacy to biocides by penetrating into films.

It is specifically developed for removing iron, silica, metal silicates, metal oxides/hydroxides and other colloidal/particulate based foulants from RO membranes. It is also effective to remove calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and silt.

Equivalent or even better than MAXTREAT 9202, MAXTREAT 9204, MAXTREAT 9800, MAXTREAT 9205 and MAXTREAT 9206 from THERMAX; INDION 3010 from ION EXCHANGE; PERMACLEAN PC 33 and PERMACLEAN PC 77 from NALCO; DREWCLEAN range of products from CHEMBOND ASHLAND; KLEEN range of products from GE WATER etc.

Application: - RO, NF, UF, MF Membranes



Dosage and Method: - Chemtex’s RO Membrane Cleaners for Silica & Iron Foulants are diluted with chlorine free product water to give a stock solution. This solution should be re-circulated through the membranes for 2-3 hours. Soak the membrane for 30-60mins and flush out the system with DM or permeate water till equal pH is achieved at both ends of pass.

In addition with that, Chemtex’s Low pH RO Membrane Cleaners are capable of cleaning scales in presence of various foulants of RO feed water with low pH.

Chemtex also offers High pH RO Membrane Cleaners are capable of cleaning scales in presence of various foulants of RO feed water with high pH.

It is dosed exactly as per the dosage rate and method of MAXTREAT 9202, MAXTREAT 9204, MAXTREAT 9800, MAXTREAT 9205 and MAXTREAT 9206 from THERMAX; INDION 3010 from ION EXCHANGE; PERMACLEAN PC 33 and PERMACLEAN PC 77 from NALCO; DREWCLEAN range of products from CHEMBOND ASHLAND; KLEEN range of products from GE WATER etc.
