Membrane Chemicals AM-88 The interior of a spiral membrane element, being
dark and moist is an excellent breeding ground for microorganism. When spiral
elements are used, tested, or operated intermittently, they will probably be exposed to
bacteria. During shutdown or storage periods of more than a few days, spiral
elements should be disinfected or sterilized by filling the system with a biocidal
solution. Up to 40 percent flux loss can occur from biological fouling in elements
and modules that have been tested on non-sterile water, then stored on the shelf or in
non-operating units for long periods.
