9+ Organic Membrane Cleaner (Alkaline) | RO Biofouling & Oil Remover
Product details
Alkaline cleaner for biofilm, organics & oils on RO membranes. Restores flux, lowers ΔP, and shortens CIP time. Polyamide-compatible.
Key benefits (bullets)
-
Targets biofilm/organics/oils; disperses foulants fast
-
Safe for polyamide RO/NF membranes (when used as directed)
-
Works best at pH 10–11.5 and 30–35°C
-
Use before acid cleaning in mixed-fouling cases
-
Sizes: 1 kgs
9+ Organic Membrane Cleaner (Alkaline) is engineered to lift and disperse biofilm, organic matter, colloids, and oils that block RO/NF membranes. Used correctly, it helps recover permeate flow, reduce differential pressure, and extend the time between CIPs. Pair with 9+ Inorganic (Acid) Cleaner if mineral scale is also present.
Where to use: Industrial/municipal RO plants, packaged-water lines, and service CIPs. Industrial use only; not for domestic RO or food contact.
How to use (CIP SOP – quick)
Safety first: Wear gloves, goggles/face shield, apron; isolate power/pumps.
-
Rinse: Flush the stage with RO permeate 5–10 min.
-
Mix cleaning solution (use RO permeate):
-
Target strength: 0.2–0.5% w/v (i.e., 2–5 kg per 1000 L CIP tank).
-
pH: adjust to 10–11.5.
-
Temp: 30–35°C (if membrane OEM allows).
-
Rule: Fill tank 70% → add cleaner slowly while circulating → top up → check pH/temp.
Quick quantities
-
1000 L tank: 0.3% → 3.0 kg
-
500 L tank: 0.3% → 1.5 kg
-
100 L tank: 0.3% → 300 g
-
-
Recirculate & soak:
-
Recirculate 30–45 min (flow = gentle turbulence; pressure <2 bar, ΔP <0.5 bar).
-
Soak 30 min (keep circulation OFF).
-
Recirculate 15–30 min (reverse direction if possible).
-
Hold pH ≥10; if it drops >0.3, top up cleaner. Use a 5–10 μm bag filter on the loop.
-
-
Intermediate rinse: Rinse with permeate to outlet pH 6–8.
-
If scale is suspected: follow with 9+ Inorganic (Acid) Cleaner (pH 2–3) then final rinse.
-
Return to service: Start at low pressure, ramp gradually; log ΔP/flow.
Compatibility & cautions:
-
Ensure free chlorine <0.1 ppm before membranes.
-
Do not mix with oxidants/biocides in the same tank/line.
-
Follow membrane OEM limits for temperature, pH, and flow.
Storage: Cool, dry, sealed; see SDS for handling & first aid.
