Maintenance

Before launch of the reverse osmosis system preliminary preparation of the membrane, refill of the elements, adjustment of the devices and other system checks should be performed.

Avoid any major pressure or flow surges inside the spiral-wound elements in the middle of launch, stop, cleaning etc. to avoid risk of damage infliction to the membrane. During the launch it is recommended to gradually switch the system from standstill to operational mode following the steps:

• gradually increase feed water pressure during 30-60 seconds
• operational rate of the flows should be developed gradually during 15-20 seconds
• permeate obtained within the first hour of operation is discharged

Important information

• After the initial soaking always keep the elements wet.
• To prevent biofouling during long operation breaks it is recommended to submerge the membrane elements into preservative solutions.
• Maximum pressure drop along the full length of the housing makes 2.1 bar.
