MEMBRANE AUTOPSY

One of the most effective ways to troubleshoot membrane systems is through a membrane autopsy. Our technical team thoroughly investigates to diagnose issues, identify root causes, and prescribe tailored solutions for optimal performance. Our extensive experience working on spiral wound and hollow fiber membrane system design in combination with real world troubleshooting and technical support uniquely positions us to provide practical yet effective solutions for our clients.

Investigating Membrane Health

Our Membrane Autopsy process involves an intensive dissection of your membrane elements, examining their components for mechanical failure, and scale and/or foulant present. We consider this approach as one of the most insightful ways to understand your system’s health.

Diagnostic Precision

With state-of-the-art analytical tools and techniques, we can perform a diagnostic analysis on various membrane types, including RO, NF, UF, MF, and MBR both in spiral wound and hollow fiber product configurations. Scrutinizing fouling patterns, scaling tendencies, and any signs of mechanical or chemical failure, this precision enables us to pinpoint the challenges affecting your system’s efficiency.

Analytical Testing for Fouled Membranes

Analytical testing can be conducted on fouled membranes using advanced technologies such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDXA), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These techniques provide detailed insights into the composition, structure, and chemical characteristics of fouling, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of membrane issues.

Root Cause Identification

Identifying the root causes of membrane issues is our forte. The combination of our deep experience in membrane autopsy coupled with process we uncover the underlying factors contributing to fouling, scaling, or diminished performance. This knowledge forms the basis for targeted and effective solutions.

Tailored Solutions for System Optimization

Once the autopsy is complete and the diagnosis is clear, our team formulates customized solutions to revitalize your membrane system. Whether it’s addressing fouling issues, improving scaling resistance, or recommending specific cleaning protocols, our tailored approach aims at restoring your system to peak performance.

Our Membrane Autopsy service goes beyond conventional diagnostics. Let’s unlock the value from membrane system together, ensuring longevity, efficiency, andpeak performance.
