Membrane Pretreatment Optimization

Our team also advises on the best pretreatment options to optimize your membrane performance. Water pretreatment before reverse osmosis is critical to the successful operation of a system. If you're not sure whether your pretreatment solution is doing its job, Nalco's Membrane Solutions Group can help you optimize your pretreatment and analyze potential pretreatment problems so we can offer appropriate solutions. We can also help you determine the best equipment designs for maximizing pretreatment efficiency. For example, conservative designs for pretreatment may cause fewer operating problems and have lower operating costs, even though the initial design may cost more upfront.

Is my reverse osmosis pretreatment effective?

How often you need to clean the membrane?

  • If you must clean a membrane every one to three months, the estimated performance of the membrane is marginal.
  • If you must clean a membrane every month or more, the estimated performance is inadequate.

What are pretreatment methods?

Pretreatment methods can include clarification or lime softening, followed by several stages of filtration. The filtration can include the use of multimedia filters, carbon filters, cartridge filters and microfilters. Ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers are also being installed after cartridge filtration in an effort to minimize bacterial growth. With pretreatment filter aids, we can improve the removal efficiency of the multimedia filters, but the amount of filter aid required is a function of feed water quality. Without active control of filter aid addition, you will always produce less-than-optimal water, and you also risk fouling the membrane system with polymers. Nalco's patented PT TRASAR (Traced Pretreatment Control) technology actively monitors the concentration of polymer, controls the polymer residual levels and actively optimizes the performance of a multimedia filter. PT TRASAR permits the use of the most effective filter aids, while minimizing the risk of fouling the membranes.
