Peracetic Acid Based RO Disinfectant & Biofilm Remover - Innova Corporate India

Peracetic Acid Based RO Disinfectant (Eco-Friendly Sterilant & Biofilm Remover)

Innova Corporate (India) is a leading manufacturer, bulk supplier, and global exporter of high-purity Peracetic Acid (PAA) Based RO Disinfectants. Operating from our production base in Delhi, we serve a wide network of clients throughout India while extending our supply chain to the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Every batch is formulated to meet stringent industry standards, delivering a powerful yet environmentally safe alternative to traditional disinfectants.

Our Peracetic Acid RO Disinfectant is a high-efficacy oxidizing agent purpose-built for rapid disinfection of RO, NF, and UF membranes. It is highly effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms — including bacteria, viruses, moulds, and spores. Being safe for potable RO systems, it decomposes into harmless by-products (water, oxygen, and acetic acid), ensuring no toxic residue remains in the treated water.

Unlike chlorine-based disinfectants, Peracetic Acid does not oxidise polyamide membranes, does not form harmful disinfection by-products (DBPs), and remains effective across a wide pH and temperature range. This makes it the preferred choice for pharmaceutical, food & beverage, dairy, and drinking water RO plants where membrane hygiene and water safety are non-negotiable.

Key Features & Strategic Benefits:

  • Broad-Spectrum Microbiocide: Rapidly eliminates pathogens, biofilms, and organic slime from membrane surfaces.
  • Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable: Decomposes naturally into acetic acid, water, and oxygen — leaving no harmful environmental footprint.
  • Chlorine-Free Sterilization: Provides powerful oxidation without the corrosive risks associated with free chlorine.
  • Potable Water Approved: Ideal for food, beverage, dairy, and drinking water RO applications.
  • Universal Membrane Compatibility: Safe for use with all high-quality RO membrane components, housings, and Polyamide/TFC/CA membranes.
  • Cold Sterilization: Highly effective even at ambient temperatures, eliminating the need for thermal disinfection.
  • No DBP Formation: Unlike chlorine, does not form trihalomethanes (THMs) or other harmful disinfection by-products.
  • Fast Kill Rate: Achieves microbial log reduction within minutes at low concentrations — saving time and water.
  • Biofilm Penetration: Penetrates and destroys biofilm matrix, killing embedded microorganisms that standard disinfectants miss.
  • Cost-Effective Performance: Low dosage requirement delivers premium sanitation at a competitive per-litre cost.

Recommended Dosage & Application:

Shock Dose: For immediate system disinfection, use a concentration of 5–10% v/v.

Continuous Dose: For round-the-clock microbial control, maintain a maximum of 2.5 ppm in the feed water.

Sanitization Procedure: Begin by rinsing the system with permeate water. Circulate the Peracetic Acid solution through the membranes, followed by a flush with a high-pH membrane cleaner for approximately 30 minutes. Allow a soak time of 1–2 hours to ensure deep penetration into biofilm layers. Finally, flush the system thoroughly with permeate water before returning the plant to normal service.

Applications

Drinking Water RO Municipal supply and potable water treatment plants
Food & Beverage CIP systems, process water, and bottling plants

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is a Peracetic Acid RO Disinfectant? A Peracetic Acid RO Disinfectant is an eco-friendly, oxidizing biocide formulated for sanitizing reverse osmosis membranes. It effectively eliminates biofilm, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and organic foulants from RO membrane surfaces without leaving harmful residues.
Q2. Why is Peracetic Acid better than chlorine for RO disinfection? Peracetic Acid is far safer for polyamide RO membranes than chlorine. It does not cause membrane oxidation or degradation, leaves no toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs), and is effective over a broader pH and temperature range.
Q3. How is Peracetic Acid RO Disinfectant used? It is typically dosed during Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) or membrane storage procedures. The membrane is soaked in a diluted solution for a recommended contact time, then flushed thoroughly before returning to service. Site-specific protocols are provided by our technical team.
Q4. What dosage is recommended for RO disinfection? The shock dose ranges from 5–10% v/v, while continuous dosing should not exceed 2.5 ppm in feed water. The exact dose depends on bio-fouling level, membrane type, and contact time.
Q5. Does Peracetic Acid damage RO membranes? No. When used as directed, Peracetic Acid is fully compatible with Polyamide, Thin-Film Composite (TFC), and Cellulose Acetate membranes. It is one of the few oxidizing biocides approved for routine RO membrane sanitation.
Q6. Is the disinfectant safe for drinking water plants? Yes. Peracetic Acid breaks down into harmless acetic acid, water, and oxygen — leaving no toxic residue. It is widely used in potable water and food-grade RO systems globally.
Q7. What is the shelf life of Peracetic Acid Disinfectant? The product has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacturing when stored in its original sealed container at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Q8. In what packaging sizes is the disinfectant available? We supply in 5L, 20L, 50L, and 200L HDPE vented drums, along with IBC tanks for bulk industrial requirements. Custom packaging is available for export orders.
Q9. How often should RO membranes be disinfected? Frequency depends on feedwater quality and system operation. Typically, disinfection is performed every 1–3 months or whenever microbial activity is detected via SDI, TOC, or pressure drop indicators.
Q10. Does it remove existing biofilm? Yes. Peracetic Acid penetrates and destroys the biofilm matrix, killing embedded microorganisms and dispersing organic deposits so they can be flushed out of the membrane system.
Q11. Is Peracetic Acid biodegradable? Yes. Peracetic Acid is fully biodegradable, breaking down into acetic acid, water, and oxygen. It is considered one of the most environmentally friendly oxidizing biocides available for RO systems.
Q12. Do you supply Peracetic Acid Disinfectant outside India? Yes. Innova Corporate (India) exports Peracetic Acid RO Disinfectant to the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with UN-approved export packaging and reliable logistics support.
