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
Effluent treatment plants (ETPs) are essential for treating wastewater before it is discharged into the environment, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and protecting ecosystems. However, these plants can encounter operational issues that compromise efficiency and effectiveness. Membrane autopsy, a comprehensive diagnostic tool, is crucial in troubleshooting and resolving failures in ETPs. This article explores the … 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
Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems are essential for producing high-purity water, crucial in various industries from pharmaceuticals to drinking water treatment. However, the performance of these systems can be compromised over time due to membrane fouling, scaling, and other issues. Enter the art of RO membrane autopsy—a powerful tool for diagnosing and resolving these problems, ultimately … Read more
Physical damage to the membrane is a common phenomenon. The physical damage could be such as increasing salt passage, a 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, mainly silica, where colloidal … Read more
