MP's RO membranes foul differently depending on which part of the state the plant draws from. Along the Narmada and Betwa river belts, monsoon runoff brings humic substances, algae and agricultural organic matter that build a sticky film on the membrane surface. In the Malwa plateau around Indore, Ujjain and Dewas, borewell water carries its own dissolved organics plus iron that feeds bacterial growth. And in the industrial clusters at Pithampur, Mandideep and Malanpur, mixed municipal and process water adds oils and complex organic compounds that standard acid CIP cannot touch. This alkaline cleaner is formulated specifically for that organic and biological fouling profile — the layer that acid cleaners leave behind.
The chemistry combines high pH with organic dispersants and chelating agents that penetrate and dissolve the fouling matrix. Proteins, polysaccharides, oils and humic substances that bind the layer to the membrane are broken down, while colloidal clay and microbial matter are dispersed and rinsed out in the recirculation flow. Because it is low-foaming, the cleaner works cleanly in high-velocity CIP skids without foam lock. And because it is high-concentration, MP units running tight operating budgets get effective cleaning from low dilution ratios — important for small and medium plants that clean frequently during monsoon months.
Application Guidelines: Dilute with DM or permeate water to prepare a 2–5% v/v working solution. Recirculate through the membrane system for 2–4 hours with a 30–60 minute soak, depending on how heavy the fouling is. Flush with DM or permeate water until the pH stabilises at both feed and permeate ends. If the cleaning solution turns heavily turbid during the cycle — common when monsoon organic load is high — replace it with a fresh batch and repeat. Follow with an acid cleaner only if mineral scale is also present. Never mix alkaline and acid cleaners together.
Storage & Handling: Shake the container well before use. Store in original packaging in a cool, dry area at your MP site. Full safety data, first-aid measures and step-by-step cleaning procedure are covered in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
