Reverse Osmosis Treatment
Overview
Reverse osmosis is an efficient way of purifying water but operational efficiency can only be obtained if the plant and in particular the membranes are kept clean. If this is not the case, membranes quickly become fouled result in lower output and ultimately resulting in the costly necessity of having to replace them. Various products are available which have been developed to combat the problems likely to be found in membrane and reverse osmosis markets. Fouling is reduced in the first instance with the correct use of reverse osmosis antifoulants and antiscalants.

Fouling is reduced in the first instance with the correct use of reverse osmosis anti-foulants and anti-scalants. Membrane cleaning products help to remove fouling from the membranes and should be chosen based on the type of fouling that occurs. Biofilms can form on membranes and biocidal products should also be considered as part of the membrane treatment regime.
Reverse Osmosis Treatment Chemicals
Klover’s technically advanced Reverse Osmosis treatment chemicals have been scientifically formulated to improve the operation and maintenance of industrial Reverse Osmosis,UF,NF System
Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane treatment process is used to separate the purified water from the contaminated water thus improving the quality of the water. RO membrane is cellophane like membrane which acts like a filter to remove micro-organisms which are too large to pass from the pores of this membrane.
Membrane cleaning is an important part of any reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, ultra-filtration, or micro-filtration maintenance program. For membrane cleaning, our Membrane Solutions Group offers a range of products, which are acid- and alkali-based cleaning chemicals designed to remove most foulants and restore performance in all types of membrane systems.
Reverse osmosis systems are favourable environments for microorganisms to thrive. Klover Chem’s products are non-oxidizing biocides that are highly effective in reducing bacterial growth and the build-up of slime on a variety of membrane types.
klover’s Food Grade Minerals and Additives enhance the natural goodness of the water. Balanced Minerals optimize pH levels and create an environment for enhanced hydration.
