Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance can be negatively impacted by impurities that build up on the membrane surface during operations. Suspended solids, microorganisms and mineral scale can foul membrane elements. These deposits can cause loss in output and/or rejection levels and reduce total system performance.

RO treatment chemicals help to greatly reduce deposits, impurities, and scale in your system’s membranes. Antiscalants, antifoulants and RO membrane cleaners are specially designed chemicals that keep these contaminants from attaching to the membrane surface.

Water offers a full line of RO chemicals that are specially designed to help keep your membrane systems clean and free from fouling.

Without the usage of RO treatment chemicals, huge deposits of suspended solids within the feed water will stick on the surface of the membrane and be unable to be filtered from passing through the reverse osmosis membranes. Reverse osmosis systems work by forcing water through membranes and filtering out the dissolved solids within the source water. In order to maintain these RO systems their effectiveness, reverse osmosis chemicals must be used to make the surface smoother and not allow the mineral deposits to accumulate and clog up the membrane surface.

Utilizing the incorrect RO antiscalants can increase risks of membrane scaling and diminishing returns in RO performance. Fortunately, employing the right reverse osmosis antiscalant at the correct dosing rate, will effectively prevent scaling issues from arising for a given time. There are available computer dosing software that forecast scaling potential and will assist in detailing the severity of membrane scaling and also provide recommendations on the ideal antiscalant dosage rate.

Reverse osmosis antiscalants usually need extremely low dosage rates and are capable of functioning alongside other chemicals fed upstream. RO antiscalants also provide ease-of-use and security during operation, meeting all of the environmental safety prerequisites for RO treatment chemicals used in water treatment plants. Reverse osmosis antiscalants are special chemical supplements that eliminate membrane scaling and minimizes the contamination rate in the RO system.

  • MEMBRANE ANTISCALANT

       The scale formation on the membrane surface or within the flow channels through the membrane element increases, if the solubility of any salt is exceeded. This leads to pressure drop due to scaling and fouling on the membrane surface.

Our range of RO Antiscalant are highly effective in retarding of scale formation on RO membranes.

    • Specific antiscalants were developed in order to control scale formation effectively under a wide range of RO operational conditions and to ensure compliance with local environmental legislation.
    • The antiscalants will inhibit scale and disperse solid particles.
    • Our RO Antiscalants are effective over a wide pH range
    • Our RO Antiscalants have proven performance on various types of scales
    • Our RO Antiscalants are compatible with most Thin Film Composite (TFC) RO membranes from leading manufacturers.
    • Specialized RO Antiscalants for better performances in terms of high silica & high phosphate scale control and retardation as compare to products from other suppliers.
  • MEMBRANE CLEANERS

      Cleaner formulations are provided in order to handle specific fouling and/or scaling in various cleaning programs and complying with the operating parameters and the local environmental legislation.Membrane cleaning is an important part of any reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, ultra-filtration, or micro-filtration maintenance program. Water offers a range of cleaning products for restoring membrane performance by removing inorganic, organic, silt, silica and metal deposits.Our team can help determine the cleaner that will work best for your application.

  • MEMBRANE PRE-TREATMENT

      Attention to good water pre-treatment helps prevent fouling and scaling. Our pre-treatment filter aid –coagulant, is designed for use before multimedia filters to improve the performance of the filter, reduce SDI and membrane fouling.Our filter aids are compatible with reverse osmosis membranes and wide range of antiscalant. Good pre-treatment reduces cleaning downtime, membrane fouling and operating cost.

MEMBRANE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

Micro-organism and organics present in the water form biofilm and foul membrane systems. Our microbiocides minimize the impact of bio-growth on the operation of your RO system.Our biocides provide effective control of biofouling for on-line, off-line and intermittent use. The right biocide program reduces your need for membrane cleaning thereby reducing the overall cost of operation.It is advisable to verify regulatory requirements and membrane compatibility before implementing a biocide program.The use of RO Antiscalants, RO pre-treatment and RO Cleaning Chemicals provides longer run times and extended membrane element life, resulting in reduced operating and capital costs.
