Technical Note By Dr. Dhawan:
Biological Growth on Membranes:  Storage, Shipping, and System Shut-Down

Membrane Storage:

  • Store Membranes in a cool area out of direct sunlight. Membrane storage temperature limits are 22°F-113°F. Dry (new) elements can go below 22°F.
     

  • Preserve in a solution of 2% AM-88 and 20% AM-16. This will not prevent freezing below 32°F, but the crystals are soft and the membrane is not damaged.
     

  • Keep new elements in their original packaging.
     

  • Examine the preservative in preserved elements every 3 months. If not clear, remove and re-preserve. The pH of the preservative should not drop below 3.
     

  • Storage time of dry elements is unlimited.
     

Membrane Shipping:

  • Preserve the element in the plastic bag using the recommended procedure. Make sure the plastic bag does not leak and the element is properly identified.
     

  • Make sure the preservative solution is correctly labeled.
     

  • Protect the element package from physical damage.

     

System Shut-Down:

  • Clean the membranes in the system using the cleaning procedure.
     

  • Circulate the preservative solution.
     

  • Shut down the system and close valves to avoid air entering the system.
     

  • Check preservative once a month.
