Disinfecting Procedure for Membranes

  1. Clean the membrane with AM-22 or AM-23*.  AM-22 or AM-23* will remove deposits in the membrane which harbor microorganisms.  After cleaning, flush the membrane with RO permeate.

  2. Clean the membrane with AM-124 to remove iron and other transition metals.  After cleaning,  flush the membrane with RO permeate.

  3. Circulate a solution of PS-77* through the membrane in a ratio of 1:100 with RO permeate for 30 minutes, at a temperature not to exceed 77°F.

  4. Allow the membrane to soak in the disinfecting solution for 30 minutes.  After disinfecting, flush the membrane with RO permeate.
