What is a high pH membrane cleaner used for in Sri Lanka?

A high pH (alkaline) membrane cleaner is used to remove organic fouling from RO membranes — biofilm, algae, oil, protein and colloidal matter. In Sri Lanka's tea, food and textile industries, these organic foulants build up quickly in the tropical climate. A high pH cleaner breaks them down and flushes them out during the CIP cycle.

What is the difference between high pH and low pH cleaners?

Low pH (acidic) cleaners remove mineral scale such as calcium carbonate and metal oxides. High pH (alkaline) cleaners remove organic fouling such as biofilm, algae, oil and protein. Most plants in Sri Lanka need both types as part of a complete CIP programme, alternating between them based on the type of fouling present.

What is the recommended dosage for high pH cleaner in Sri Lanka?

Typical dosage for high pH membrane cleaner is a 2-5% v/v solution in DM water or RO permeate. The solution is recirculated through the membrane bank for 2-4 hours with a 30-60 minute soak. Our technical team provides specific guidance based on your membrane fouling profile.

Can I use high pH cleaner with other RO chemicals?

Yes. High pH membrane cleaner is compatible with all major RO chemicals, including antiscalants, biocides and dechlorination chemicals. It should be used during CIP cycles only, not as a continuous feed chemical. Dosing points must be properly spaced to avoid interaction.

What is the price of high pH membrane cleaner in Sri Lanka?

High pH membrane cleaner is priced at LKR 2,750 per unit for standard packaging. Bulk order pricing is available for large-scale industrial plants. Final pricing depends on order quantity, packaging type and delivery location. Contact our export team for a specific quote.

High pH Alkaline RO Membrane Cleaner for Sri Lanka Tea, Food and Textile Plants - Innova Corporate India

Professional High pH Membrane Cleaner for Sri Lanka's Tea, Food & Textile RO Systems

Organic fouling and bio-slime are significant concerns for RO plants in Sri Lanka, especially in systems using surface water or recycled process effluent. The island's tropical climate accelerates microbial growth and organic build-up, making membrane cleaning a frequent necessity. Innova Corporate (India) manufactures a specialised high pH membrane cleaner designed to remove biological matter, oils and organic foulants from RO membranes across Colombo, Gampaha, Kandy and Katunayake.

This alkaline cleaner is essential for restoring performance in the island's water plants, ensuring that industrial units maintain high productivity. It effectively breaks down organic layers that cause pressure drops, helping manufacturing lines to run smoothly. It is a key maintenance chemical for the high-performance water sector, used by tea processing plants, food manufacturers and textile units across the region.

Key Features & Strategic Benefits for Local Plants:

Superior System Clean-up: High pH formulation specifically targets organic matter and silica scales found in tropical water sources.
Colloidal Dispersion: Penetrates deep into biological films and colloidal clay for complete removal.
Low Foaming Formula: Engineered for seamless use in high-velocity recirculation cleaning methods.
High Concentration: Delivers exceptional results even at low dilution ratios, making it highly cost-effective for large-scale plants.
Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable: Safe for the environment and complies with modern wastewater discharge norms.
Versatile Application: Fully compatible with a wide range of RO, Nanofiltration (NF), and Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes.

Application Guidelines: For optimal restoration of systems, dilute with DM or permeate water to create a 2–5% v/v working solution. Recirculate the solution through the membrane system for 2–4 hours, allowing for a 30–60 minute soak period. Continue flushing with DM water until the pH level stabilises at both the feed and permeate ends. If the solution becomes heavily turbid or fouled during the process, it should be replaced with a fresh batch.

Where It Is Used in the Region:

Plants across the island's industrial belt rely on this cleaner as a standard part of their CIP programme. Common applications include:

Tea processing plants — removing organic fouling from tea leaves, tannins and process residues.
Food processing units — cleaning membranes in high-BOD feed water applications with protein and oil content.
Textile and garment units — removing dye, oil and organic deposits from dye-house water recycling systems.
Rubber processing facilities — cleaning membranes in process water with organic carryover.
Municipal water plants — periodic alkaline cleaning to maintain flow and rejection performance.
Drinking water and packaged water plants — keeping membranes clean for consistent potable output.

Storage & Handling: Always shake the container well before use. Store in a cool, dry place in original packaging at your facility. Please refer to our Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and Technical Procedure Sheet for detailed safety protocols and step-by-step cleaning instructions.
