puja Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes are crucial in water purification systems, ensuring the production of high-purity water essential across various industries. However, these membranes are prone to erosion, a form of degradation that can significantly impair their performance and shorten their lifespan. Causes of Membrane Erosion Erosion in RO membranes can stem from several factors: 1. … Read more
Membrane systems, such as those used in Reverse Osmosis (RO), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Membrane Bioreactors (MBR), are integral to water purification and treatment processes. However, these systems are susceptible to fouling and scaling, which can significantly impact performance. Panic cleaning—emergency cleaning due to sudden performance drops—can lead to harsh practices that degrade membrane life. Understanding … Read more
Physical damages in membrane is a common phenomenon. The physical damage could be such as increasing salt passage, change in flux and so on. With the good experience and our study in membrane autopsy, we found physical damage and irreversible damage to the membrane caused by the crystallized minerals majorly silica where colloidal silica plays … Read more
Antiscalant’s dynamic efficacy testing is an emerging testing which help customers to understand the exact performance of their anti-scalent product and thereby take necessary actions to improve formulations if necessary.Fortunately, at VIPANAN, due to our vast industrial experience, has developed a specialization in performing Antiscalant’s efficacy testing.With new perspective, introduced by VIPANAN, Testing of antiscalant helps … Read more
Extensive studies of membrane autopsies show the physical damage of the membrane, such as increasing saltpassage, changes in flux, and so on. After studying innumerable membranes, we found silica plays a vital rolein most of the physical and irreversible damage of the membrane among the crystallized minerals.In such cases, the foulant composition contains silica near … Read more
Using Raw water in industry is an advantage, however, it has its challenges and difficulties too.Treating raw water is a complex process, though it seems to be a simple process prima facie. If, due consideration of seasonal deviation in water quality, understanding and foreseeing the errors in pre-treatment system, if not given, then the membrane … Read more
Membrane autopsy is defined as, ‘Excellent tool or technique to understand and diagnose the problem related to fouling, scaling, salt passage flow, flux and pressure difference across the sides.’ However, with our vast experience in such autopsies we understood that Autopsy technique has it’s meaning, way beyond the above-mentioned definition. It is actually a silent … Read more
CETP (common Effluent Treatment Plant) located in one of the well-known textile industry zones inGujarat has an RO Membrane system for treated water recycling. In, comparatively shorter span of In two years, management has to replace all the membranes forcefully due to deterioration of the productquality, quantity, and a rise in unscheduled CIP frequency. Deterioration … Read more
One of India’s leading power generation companies used to rely more on traditional watertreatment tools for boiler feed water treatment. So, the system and setup were developed by that. The company’s power generation setup in South India had tried reverse osmosis + EDItreatment on boiler feed water for the first time. Within the first few … Read more
Large Automotive manufacturer in India was operating traditional ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) with UF (Ultra Filtration) and RO (Reverse Osomosis), for treated water recycling since 5 years. Last year, they modified their effluent treatment plant and adopted MBR (Membrane Bioreactors) based treatement. Naturally, being latest trend they were expecting better performance and lesser footprint. But, … Read more
