Designing RO Systems for Effective Cleanings and Maintenance
Clean in Place System Design
Key features of effective clean-in-place systems used for RO will be explained. Examples showing design alternatives for clean-in-place system configuration will be presented.
Getting Back to the Basics of Cleaning – Rules of Thumb
Membrane cleaning has changed both quantitatively and qualitatively in the past 40 years but there are basic steps that should be followed. Cleaning time, temperature, hydrodynamic conditions, and concentration of […]
The Importance of Data Normalization in Optimizing UF/RO Operations
A review of real-world membrane facility (UF/RO) operating data, highlighting the importance of implementing a normalization program. Raw operating data will be compared to normalized data illustrating the impact of […]
Uses of Analytical Techniques in Optimizing UF/RO Cleanings
Membrane fouling is typically multifaceted meaning cleanings can often leave non-targeted foulants behind. Matching the appropriate chemical to remove the corresponding foulant on the membrane surface is the greatest hurdle […]
