Note

The above figures for oxidant contact represent the membrane resistance to each individual oxidizing agent. The total combined exposure for Sodium Hypochlorite and Chlorine Dioxide will be calculated as follows

Combined exposure (NaOCl+ClO2)=2.6xExposure to ClO2 (in ppm hours)+Exposure to NaOCl (in ppm hours)<250.000 ppm hours.

As a good working practice and in order to maximise the lifetime of the membrane it is advised to reduce the membrane exposure to oxidising agents to a  minimum. Exposure limits are also affected by temperature , pH and the presence of metals. In order not to exceed maximum exposure limits, membranes must be
preserved free of any oxidising agent when the plant is stopped.

  • Backwash water should be free of particulates and should be of permeate quality or better.
  • Backwash pumps should preferably be made of non-corroding materials, e.g., plastic or stainless steel. If compressed air is used to pressurize the backwash water, do not allow a two-phase air/water mixture to enter the element.
  • To avoid mechanical damage, do not subject the membrane module or element to sudden temperature changes, particularly decreasings. Bring the module or element back to ambient operating temperat

 Operation of membrane modules at any combination of maximum limits of pH, concentration, pressure or temperature, during cleaning or production, will influence the membrane lifetime.
