Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance can be negatively impacted by impurities that build up on the membrane surface during operations. Suspended solids, microorganisms and mineral scale can foul membrane elements. These deposits can cause loss in output and/or rejection levels and reduce total system performance.
GE Water & Process Technologies offers a wide array of products to help you improve the performance of your membranes:
Coagulants and flocculants from GE can increase prefiltration efficiency and help improve productivity in membrane systems for worry-free RO feedwater.
The Hypersperse™ pretreatment program from GE is designed to eliminate scale and reduce fouling in membrane systems, regardless of the feedwater source.
GE Water Technologies' line of dechlorination products include a convenient, ready to use formulation which is NSF approved for potable applications and an economical dry formulation for on-site preparation.
Successful membrane cleaning relies on both the effectiveness of the cleaning compounds and the design and operation of the cleaning equipment. GE can offer suggestions on cleaning system design and cleaning procedures to ensure the most effective results.
Effective control of bacterial growth and slime.
