Reverse osmosis chemicals to improve the performance of your reverse osmosis system’s membranes.
Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance can be negatively impacted by impurities that build up on the membrane surface during operations. Suspended solids, microorganisms and mineral scale can foul membrane elements. These deposits can cause loss in output and/or rejection levels and reduce total system performance.

The membrane separation process utilizes a high-pressure feed to force water through a semi-permeable barrier. As the water passes through the membrane, contaminates are rejected and eventually flushed to the waste stream. The concentration of the contaminants is crucial to determine the design and operation of the membrane system. During normal operations, membranes can become fouled by colloidal material, inorganic oxides, biological matter, and scaling salts.

Fouling involves the entrapment of material in the feed water or deposits on the membrane surface. These deposits can accrue until they cause a reduction in flow, increase in feed pressure requirements, loss of salt rejection, or all three.

SAI TREAT membrane chemical's products are formulated to treat a wide variety of commercial reverse osmosis (RO) systems, nanofiltration (NF), and ultrafiltration (UF) systems.
