Why it’s Important to Clean your Industrial RO System Membranes

Nathan Olszak — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 21:50:57 +0000

If you’re running an industrial RO system, it’s not only important, it’s essential to clean your industrial RO system membranes.

In order to ensure that you are producing the cleanest possible water, you must work with the purest possible Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. This is doubly important when working with an Industrial Reverse Osmosis System because the unwanted elements are much more present in an industrial setting. As we consider cleaning solutions, always remember, that sales, set-up, and service are the calling card for the professionals at Complete Water Solutions.

Contaminants To Remove from your RO System:

Silica

Hardness Scale

Iron Fouling and Residue

Silt and Sediment

Colloidal

Biological and Organic Elements

Clay

Many of these elements are the very reason you have installed this RO System and the care and maintenance of this equipment are not only important to the quality of your water, but it is also equally important to extend the life of the RO Industrial System itself.

Your Industrial RO System has many working and moving parts. The purification of your water is a consistent work in progress and keeping your system clean and functioning at peak capacity is paramount. When your RO membranes are dirty, they simply cannot function at top efficiency. When you have a partner at Complete Water Solutions, you know you’re getting the best in the industry looking at your RO system and providing the most up-to-date cleaning solutions, allowing your Industrial RO System to operate at maximum efficiency.

Water Treatments We Use for Industrial Cleaning:

Low pH cleaners

Osmonics AK8040F Membranes

– used for common hardness removal

High pH cleaners

– best for Silica and Sand removal

Hydrochloric Acid

– used most in routine maintenance

Our Signature Mini Cure

– best for complete sanitization

A Holistic Approach to Your Industrial RO System

At Complete Water Solutions, we take a holistic approach to ensure your Industrial RO System works perfectly for the entire life of the solution. We use tried and tested chemicals that we know produce the desired levels of cleanliness. Plus, we stay on top of the changes in the industry and our operations reflect that. We have dozens of years of experience, plus the passion and ability to keep your RO System clean and fully functional. We understand those clean membranes are the most important factor in producing the highest quality filtered water solution. Our goal is to ensure your RO system remains running as efficiently as possible.

Additionally, cleaning industrial RO membranes not only keeps the system flowing and operating at peak capacity, but also allows for better and more accurate data collection. Your water has to be clean. It has to remain clean. Your business and your needs change and grow. You can’t know how to adjust without the most accurate data regarding your Industrial RO system.

Our experienced and professional technicians first get to know and understand HOW you use your water. There are many different approaches that can be taken and each possible solution applies to many different factors and variables including how exactly are you using the water being filtered through your Industrial RO System. Once we understand the “flow” of your water and how it is being processed and filtered, we can then offer you the exact cleaning procedures and chemicals that best fit your cleaning needs. You can trust us to be upfront about what your Industrial RO System needs and how best to accomplish that. We’ll let you know when your RO system is running at peak capacity and when the system you have is sufficient, or when it may be necessary for an upgrade.

How To Rebuild Industrial Softener & Resin Replacement

Nathan Olszak — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 13:23:00 +0000

In this post, we dive into how to rebuild industrial softener valves and replace the resin. Complete Water Solutions worked on rebuilding the valves. These valves are diaphragm valves manufactured by AQ Matic also known as Aquamatic. The 2 valves on this unit were 428 Valve (4″) and 424 (1.5″) Valve. When rebuilding these valves we recommend replacing both the rubber and the metals kit. The kits are separate and end in RA (rubber kit) or RF (Metals kit). The old metals kits were all brass. They have since been upgraded to primarily stainless steel.

The 4 different kits that were used for this job were

424-RA 1070069 (click for drawing of Aquamatic 424 Valve)

424-RF 1070119 (click for drawing of Aquamatic 424 Valve)

428-RA 1070073 (click for drawing of Aquamatic 428 Valve)

428-RF 1070123 (click for drawing of Aquamatic 428 Valve)

After rebuilding the valves we began the task of replacing the resin. The resin had been previously tested and showed signs of heavy oxidation and it was recommended to replace the resin by the lab. Complete Water Solutions supplied and installed C110DQ(NA) . This resin was selected as it has a higher cross-link.

What is Crosslink?

Crosslink refers to the strands (think of it as strings) that hold the resin together. This crosslinking wears out over time from backwashing, chlorine (oxidation), and swelling. Standard cation softener resin is typically 8% crosslink. The C110 resin is 10% crosslink resin. What this means is that the resin has more strands holding it together. Those additional strands hold the resin together a little bit longer. We recommend using 10% crosslink resin on chlorinated waters. Today the cost difference between the 2 reasons is not much.

Once the resin is replaced Complete Water Solutions will take the old resin off-site site, start the system up and check all operations.

Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cleaning – What should I Use?

Nathan Olszak — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 13:32:48 +0000

Do you know you need Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cleaning, but you’re not sure what to use to clean the RO membranes? Complete Water Solutions can help! In this video we discuss a few chemicals we use to clean RO Membranes. Getting the best RO Cleaning or RO Membrane Restoration service/outcome really begins with looking at the inlet water quality and how the RO system is operated (pressures, flows, pretreatment, array, and a number of membranes). This can provide a good start to having success. Sometimes going further such as performing a RO membrane autopsy can give you specifics not only in foulants but also can help with changing the chemistry or pretreatment used.
