Flocculants
Membrane Cleaners
FEATURES
General Properties: Blends of acidic/alkaline compounds, chelating agents (e.g., EDTA), and specialized surfactants; typically clear liquids or easily soluble powders with specific pH ranges tailored to the foulant type.
Synergistic Role in Defoamers: During CIP, high-pressure circulation pumps and the surfactants within the cleaner generate excessive foam. This foam causes "air binding" inside the membrane pressure vessels, preventing the cleaning liquid from contacting the entire membrane area. Adding a compatible defoamer instantly eliminates the foam, ensuring 100% physical contact between the cleaner and the membrane surface.
Performance Benefits:
Eliminates Air Binding: Removes foam-induced air pockets inside the membrane housing, ensuring the cleaning solution completely fills the pressure vessel.
Maximizes Cleaning Efficiency: Guarantees full contact between the active cleaning ingredients and the membrane surface, thoroughly restoring membrane flux and permeability.
Protects Membrane Integrity: Prevents pump cavitation and pressure fluctuations caused by foam, extending the operational lifespan of the membranes and pumps.
