NSF International Certifies that this product conforms to the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 60 – Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals – Health Effects. For off-line use.
During normal operation, RO membranes can become fouled, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the system. Deposits build up on the membrane until they cause a reduction in permeate flow and loss in salt rejection. The effects of fouling can lead to poor water quality, loss in production, unscheduled down time and membrane replacement. A regular maintenance and cleaning program can provide return on investment (ROI) results ranging from 100 to 250% by maintaining low pump output pressures and extending the membrane’s life.
Elements should be cleaned whenever the normalized permeate flow rate or salt rejection decreases by 10-15% or the differential pressure increases by 10-15% from the original baseline data.
NALFLEET™ RO Surfactant Cleaner conforms to the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 60 – Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals – Health Effects.
Dosing and Control
NALFLEET™ RO Surfactant Cleaner should be fed via a closed feed system. A closed feed system is defined as a system in which fluid is moved from a closed storage vessel into a treated media without exposure to the atmosphere except through normal venting or pressure relief devices. NALFLEET™ RO Surfactant Cleaner cleaning solutions are made at 1.0 – 2.0% (by weight) with chlorine-free product water and sodium hydroxide addition to give a pH of 10.5 – 11.0.
