MP's RO membranes have a specific fouling problem that acid cleaners cannot fix. Surface water from the Narmada and Betwa river systems carries seasonal organic load that spikes during monsoon — humic substances, algae, agricultural runoff and colloidal clay. Borewell water in the Malwa plateau belt around Indore, Ujjain and Dewas adds its own mix of dissolved organics and iron that feeds bacterial growth on the membrane. None of this responds to acid cleaning. It responds to high pH. Our alkaline membrane cleaner is formulated specifically for the organic and biological fouling profile that MP plants see, breaking down the sticky layer that ordinary CIP chemicals leave behind.
The chemistry works on two fronts. First, it dissolves the organic matrix — proteins, polysaccharides, oils and humic substances — that binds fouling layers to the membrane. Second, it disperses colloidal particles and clay so they rinse out cleanly instead of re-anchoring downstream. Because MP's water quality shifts seasonally with monsoon and river flow, plants here often need more aggressive alkaline cleaning than the standard quarterly CIP. The formulation is high-concentration, so it works at low dilution ratios and keeps cleaning cost per cycle manageable — important for MP's small and medium industrial units running tight operating budgets.
Dilute with DM or permeate water to prepare a 2–5% v/v working solution. Circulate 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 pH stabilises at both feed and permeate ends. If the cleaning solution turns heavily turbid during the cycle, 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. For MP plants on variable Narmada or Betwa supply, a feed water analysis before the CIP cycle helps set the right dilution and contact time.
Storage & Safety: Keep the product in its original sealed container, stored in a cool, dry, shaded area at your MP site, away from direct sun and heat. 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).
