Set point adjustment
1. Product description In pressure switches, a displacement of the pressure sensing element occurs with a change in pressure.
Following the displacement of the pressure sensing element operates a microswitch.
Any set point adjustment may be performed by yourselves.
The pressure switches are specifically applied for monitoring and controlling of operations using maximum
and minimum pressures. A micro switch triggers an electrical signal when minimum or maximum pressure Upon delivery of the product, the set points are likely to be found in the middle of the adjustable range.

On request, fix set points may be adjusted by our factory. In this event, the point will be indicated on the
Application according to instructions type plate or any separate plate,i = increasing, d = decreasing
The set point is adjusted by turning the adjustment screw.
Pressure switches must only be used for applications specified in the instructions.
This means that the temperature has to be within the specified ranges, the pressure values and the Attention: For pressure switches with housing, please first remove the corresponding
electrical rating must not exceed the values specified.

2. Instructions on the use of pressure switches
- Allow pressure switch to reach the desired switch pressure.
General instructions - Turn adjustment screw clockwise or counterclockwise to actuate the micro switch.
Pressure peaks and pressure shocks exceeding the maximum operating pressure are inadmissible. The
maximum operating pressure is the upper final value of the adjustable range or, if specified, the pressure Please note: Please consult the wiring diagram for the contact status at atmospheric pressure
indicated as maximum operating pressure.
Exceeding the max. operating pressure affects the performance and the life span of the product and may
damage it. Pressure switches must be mounted as vibrationless as possible. Precise adjustment of set point to actuate on increasing pressure

3. If necessary, readjust by turning the adjustment screw
Contact protection 4. Repeat step 1 - 3 until microswitch operates at desired switch pressure.
The micro switches used are normally suitable for both direct and alternating current operation. Inductive,

Calibration Procedure
The 8860 has been electronically calibrated at the factory.
• Procedure A verifies the accuracy and linearity of the 8860 by simulating temperature and conductivity values with precision (±0.1%)
fixed resistors.
• Procedure B is a wet calibration. This procedure uses the sensor input and NIST traceable test solutions.
A) Accuracy Verification with Precision Resistors (Electronic Calibration):

1. Simulate the Temperature
The temperature input to the 8860 is a PT-1000 thermistor, where 1000 Ohms (Ω) is equal to 0ºC and a change of 3.84 Ω equals a
1ºC change. (1000 Ω = 0ºC, 1003.84 Ω= 1.0ºC, 1007.68 Ω = 2.0ºC...................1096 Ω = 25ºC)
• Connect a resistor (1000 Ω to 1096 Ω ) between "Temp" and "Iso. Gnd" terminals.
• Set Temp; Adjust the temperature to exact value based on the measured resistance. (See Editing Procedure, Calibrate menu).
• To verify the 8860 temperature linearity, connect a second resistor value to the terminals.
• If the 8860 does not display the correct value, service is required. ( ± 0.5ºC)
2. Simulate the Conductivity

You may calculate the exact Resistance needed to simulate a specific conductivity value , or you may calculate the exact Conductivity
based on a resistor value:
Resistance = Cell constant e.g. 0.1 Cell = 5,000 Ω or 5 KΩ

conductivity (Siemens*) 0.000020 (Siemens*)
Conductivity = Sensor cell e.g. 0.1 Cell = 0.000001 Siemens*

Simulation resistance (Ω) 100,000 (Ω) or 1µS/cm
(*1 µS = 1 X 10-6 Siemens or 0.000001 Siemens)
• Connect the conductivity resistor between the "Sgnl 1 " and "Iso Gnd" (or Sgnl 2 and Iso Gnd) terminals.
• Set Cond: Adjust the conductivity value based on the resistor value. (See Editing Procedure and Calibrate menu).
• Verify the linearity of the 8860 by connecting a second Conductivity resistor of a different value.
• If the 8860 does not display the correct value (± 2% of reading), service is required.
B) Wet Calibration with NIST Traceable Solutions:

When using NIST traceable standards, review the temperature information provided with the test solution. Prevent contamination of the
test solution. The sensor must be at the temperature specified on the test solution label.
• Remove the sensor from the system. Rinse the sensor in a small amount of test solution.
• Place the sensor into the test solution.
• Place a reference thermometer into the same solution.
• Allow sufficient time for the temperature to stabilize.
• Set Temp: Adjust the temperature value based on the reference thermometer. (See Editing Procedure.)
• Set Cond: Adjust the conductivity value based on the test solution value. (See Editing Procedure.)
• Verify the linearity of the 8860 by placing the sensor into a second test solution of a different value.
• If the 8860 does not display the correct value (Temperature ± 0.5ºC, Conductivity ± 2% of reading), service is required.

Temperature Effects Calculating a Linear Temperature Coefficient
Conductivity measurement is highly dependent on temperature.
The basic rule is that higher temperatures result in greater 1. Set TC Mode to NONE (see OPTIONS menu, page 8).
conductance (less resistance). 2. Heat a sample solution close to the maximum process
Temperature effects are expressed as the percentage of temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution and
conductivity change (in µS) per °C. The conductivity value is allow several minutes for stabilization. Record the 8860
generally referenced to 25ºC. The 8860 has three temperature temperature and conductivity values in the spaces provided:
compensation options:
Displayed temperature: T1 = _______ °C
None
USP standards for pharmaceutical waters require that the Displayed conductivity: C1 = _______ µS
measurement be made without temperature compensation. USP
limits are discussed on page 7.
3. Cool the sample solution close to the minimum process
temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution allowing
Pure Water (Standard Compensation) several minutes for stabilization. Record displayed
This selection is used for measurements of very clean water,
temperature and conductivity values in the spaces provided:
less than 0.2 µS. Temperature effects are not linear in this
range, so the temperature coefficient is not easily determined.
This selection is recommended for all Resistivity applications
measuring from 5 MΩ to 18MΩ. This selection conforms to ASTM
Displayed conductivity: C2 = _______ µS
standard D1125 and D5391.
(A 10% change in conductivity between steps 2 and 3 is
Linear recommended.)
This selection allows you to calculate a custom temperature
compensation value for Conductivity measurements in the range 4. Substitute recorded readings (steps 2 and 3) into the following
of 0.2 µS and greater (Resistivity applications measuring less formula:
than 5 MΩ). The procedure is outlined in the section on the right.
TC Slope = 100 x (C1 - C2)
(C2 x (T1 - 25)) - (C1 x (T2 - 25))
Example: A sample solution has a conductivity of 205 µS @

48°C. After cooling the solution, the conductivity was measured
at 150 µS @ 23°C. (C1 = 205, T1 = 48, C2 = 150, T2 = 23)
The TC is calculated as follows:
TC Slope = 100 x (205 - 150) =5500 = 1.42%/°C

(150 x (48 - 25)) - (205 x (23 - 25)) 3860
TDS Factor
Some industries need to display a conductivity value as Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS), measured in units of parts per million
(PPM) or parts per billion (PPB).
• 1 PPM is equivalent to 1 mg per liter.
• 1 PPB is equivalent to 1 µg per liter.
• The 8860 calculates PPM or PPB by dividing the µS value
by a TDS Factor that you define. TDS factors can vary
widely, ranging from 1.50 to 2.50 µS per PPM. Methods
for establishing a TDS factor are beyond the scope of this
manual.
• The 8860 will accept TDS factor values from 0.01 to 99999.9
µS per PPM.
(factory preset = 2.00 µS per PPM)
NOTE: The 8860 TDS factor must be set in PPM.
TDS Factor = Conductivity (µS) ÷Total dissolved solids (PPM)
PPM = Solution conductivity (µS) ÷ TDS Factor
Example:
• Solution conductivity = 150 µS
• TDS = 80 PPM
• TDS Factor = 150 µS ÷ 80 PPM = 1.88 µS per
PPM

Technical Note
If a Current Loop is locked at 3.6 mA, the problem is related to the temperature circuit:
This occurs only if the 8860 detects a resistance from the temperature sensor that is less than 250Ω or greater than 2800Ω.
• Check the sensor wiring for open/short or poor connections on white (TEMP IN) and black (ISO GND)wires.
• The PT1000 temperature device in the sensor is defective.
• The transmitter is defective.

Calibration Procedure
This instrument has been electronically calibrated at the factory.
• Procedure A verifies the accuracy and linearity of the instrument by simulating temperature and conductivity values with precision
(±0.1%) fixed resistors.
• Procedure B is a wet calibration. This procedure uses the sensor input and NIST traceable test solutions. When done correctly,
this procedure offers the most accurate system calibration.
A) Accuracy Verification with Precision Resistors (Electronic Calibration):

1. Simulate the Temperature
The temperature input to the 8850 is a PT-1000 thermistor, where 1000 Ohms (Ω) is equal to 0ºC and a change of 3.84 Ω equals a
1ºC change. (1000 Ω = 0ºC, 1003.84 Ω = 1.0ºC, 1007.68 Ω = 2.0ºC...................1096 Ω = 25ºC)
• Connect a resistor (1000 Ω to 1096 Ω ) between "Temp IN" and "Iso. Gnd" terminals.
• Set Temp; Adjust the temperature to exact value based on the measured resistance. (see Editing Procedure, Calibrate menu).
• To verify the temperature linearity, connect a second resistor value to the terminals.
• If the instrument does not display the correct value, service is required. ( ± 0.5ºC)
2. Simulate the Conductivity

You may calculate the exact Resistance needed to simulate a specific conductivity value , or you may calculate the exact Conductivity
based on a resistor value:
Resistance = Cell constant e.g. 0.1 Cell = 5,000 Ω or 5 KΩ

conductivity (Siemens*) 0.000020 (Siemens*)
Conductivity = Sensor cell e.g. 0.1 Cell = 0.000001 Siemens*

Simulation resistance (Ω) 100,000 (Ω) or 1µS/cm
(*1 µS = 1 X 10-6 Siemens or 0.000001 Siemens)
• Connect the conductivity resistor between the "Signal IN " and "Iso Gnd" terminals. Iso. Gnd
13 (BLACK)
• Set Cond: Adjust the conductivity value based on the resistor value. (see Editing
Temp. IN
Procedure and Calibrate menu). 12 (WHITE)
TC resistor
• Verify the linearity of the instrument by connecting a second resistor of a different value. Signal IN
• If the instrument does not display the correct value (± 2% of reading), service is required.
11 (RED)
Simulation resistor
B) Wet Calibration with NIST Traceable Solutions:

When using NIST traceable standards, review the temperature information provided with the test solution. Prevent contamination of the
test solution. The sensor must be at the temperature specified on the test solution label.
• Remove the sensor from the system. Rinse the sensor in a small amount of test solution.
• Place the sensor into the test solution.
• Place a reference thermometer into the same solution.
• Allow sufficient time for the temperature to stabilize.
• Set Temp: Adjust the temperature value based on the reference thermometer. (see Editing Procedure.)
• Set Cond: Adjust the conductivity value based on the test solution value. (see Editing Procedure.)
• Verify the linearity by placing the sensor into a second test solution of a different value.
• If the instrument does not display the correct value (Temperature ± 0.5ºC, Conductivity ± 2% of reading), service is required.

Temperature Coefficient
Conductivity measurement is highly dependent on temperature. Temperature dependence is expressed as the relative change per °C,
commonly known as percent/°C change from 25°C, or slope of the solution.
Slopes can vary significantly depending on process solution type. The factory default temperature compensation factor is 2.00%/°C.
Process solutions may require adjustment for maximum accuracy. To determine the optimum temperature compensation factor for a
process:
1. Disable the 8850 temperature compensation % factor by entering 0.00.
2. Heat the sample solution close to the maximum process temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution allowing several
minutes for stabilization. Access the VIEW menu and record the displayed temperature and conductivity values in the spaces
provided:

Do not use this procedure for solutions from 0.055 µS to 0.1 µS (10 MΩ to 18 MΩ). An internal pure water curve is used for
these ranges. The factory default setting of 2.00% per °C should be used.
3. Cool the sample solution close to the minimum process temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution allowing several
minutes for stabilization. Record displayed temperature and conductivity values in the spaces provided:

(A 10% change in conductivity between steps 2 and 3 is recommended.)
4. Substitute recorded readings (steps 2 and 3) into the following formula:
TC Slope = 100 x (C1 - C2)

(C2 x (T1 - 25)) - (C1 x (T2 - 25))
Example: A sample solution has a conductivity of 205 µS @ 48°C. After cooling the solution, the conductivity was measured at
150 µS @ 23°C. (C1 = 205, T1 = 48, C2 = 150, T2 = 23)
The TC is calculated as follows:
TC Slope = 100 x (205 - 150) = 5500 = 1.42%/°C

(150 x (48 - 25)) - (205 x (23 - 25)) 3860
Parts Per Million (PPM) Factor

This feature is only applicable when PPM display units are selected. The programmable PPM Factor is adjustable from 0.01 to
3.00 (factory default = 2.00).
Determine the best PPM Factor for a process solution by calculating the solution's conductivity (µS) and the percent of total
dissolved solids (PPM).
PPM Factor = Solution conductivity (µS/cm)

Total dissolved solids (PPM)
TDS (PPM) = Solution conductivity (µS/cm)

PPM Factor
Example: • Solution conductivity = 400 µS/cm
• TDS = 200 PPM (mg/L)
PPM Factor = 400 µS/cm = 2.00

200 PPM

Technical notes
If a Current Loop is locked at 3.6 mA, the problem is related to the temperature circuit:
This occurs only if the 8850 detects a resistance from the temperature sensor that is less than 250Ω or greater than 2800Ω.
• Check the sensor wiring for open/short or poor connections on white (TEMP IN) and black (ISO GND)wires.
• The PT1000 temperature device in the sensor is defective.
• The transmitter is defective.
Auxiliary Power (terminals 1 and 2) must ALWAYS be connected for the 8850 to operate.

3. Sensor Mounting Position -45° +45°
• Horizontal pipe runs: Mount sensor in the upright (0°) position for best performance. Mount
at a maximum of 45° when air bubbles are present (pipe must be full). Do not mount on the Process
bottom of the pipe when sediments are present. Pipe
• Vertical pipe runs: Mount sensor in any orientation. Upward flow is preferred to ensure full
pipe.
4. Standard Sensor Installation 3. Engage one thread of the sensor cap then turn the sensor
until the alignment tab is seated in the fitting notch. Hand
1. Lubricate the sensor O-rings with a silicone lubricant (e.g. tighten the sensor cap. DO NOT use any tools on the
GE silicone compound #G632 or equivalent). Do not use sensor cap or the cap threads and/or fitting flange threads
will be damaged, see Figure B.

6. Rotor Replacement Procedure

1. To remove the rotor, insert a small screwdriver between the rotor and the ear of the sensor.
2. Twist the screwdriver blade to flex the ear outward enough to remove one end of the rotor and pin.
DO NOT flex the ear any more than necessary! If it breaks, the sensor cannot be repaired.
3. Install the new rotor by inserting one tip of the pin into the hole, then flex the opposite ear back
enough to slip rotor into place.

7. K-Factors
A K-Factor is the number of pulses a sensor will generate for each engineering unit of fluid which passes the sensor. K-factors for
water are listed below in U.S. gallons and liters. For example, in a 1-inch PVC pipe, the 515 paddlewheel generates 174.67 pulses
per gallon of water passing the rotor. K-factors are listed for pipes up to 12 inches. For pipes over 12 inches, consult your Signet
distributor.

In the example below:
• Low: • The output will be 0 pulses/min. at pH values less than 5.0.
Output triggers when process variable is less than the setpoint. • The output will be 50 pulses/min. at 7.5 pH.
The output will relax when the process moves above the setpoint • The output will be 100 pulses/min. at pH values above 10 pH.
• High:
Output triggers when process variable is greater than the
setpoint. The output will relax when the process variable moves
below the setpoint plus the hysteresis value.

2. Electrode care and application
pH/ORP electrodes are similar to batteries; they age with time and usage. The following information will help maximize electrode life.
2.1 Conditions to Avoid:

• High temperatures, strong acids or caustics will elevate electrochemical reactions and speed electrode aging.
• Coatings on the glass or junction surfaces (i.e. proteins) cause extended response time and inaccurate measurement.
• Never store the electrode tip in deionized (DI) water.
• Never expose electrode to temperatures below -12 °C (10 °F) or allow it to dehydrate. These conditions will damage the electrode.
• Never scrape or sand the glass electrode surface.
• Treat glass electrode surfaces with care. The glass is very thin and requires care to prevent accidental breakage.
2.2 Submersible Installation Tips:

• Mount electrodes in a location with ample clearance for removal for YES
YES
periodic cleaning and recalibration. Choose a location that keeps the
electrode glass completely submerged at all times.
• Place the electrode tip in pH 4 buffer during system maintenance or
storage to avoid dehydration.
• Mount the electrode near tank outlet away from reagent addition areas.
30° 30°
2.3 In-Line Installation Tips: NO NO
• pH and ORP electrodes respond best in moving fluids.
• The internal measuring electrode chamber contains a wire within a liquid
and a slight amount of air. The electrode must be mounted at least 30°
from horizontal to ensure proper sensing. Mounting angles less than 30°
NO
will impede performance.
3. pH Electrode Calibration

Recommendations:
• Calibrate temperature before calibrating the standard and slope.
• The mV offset will track across the entire pH range. The slope is usually not affected by offset changes.
(i.e. pH 7= +10 mV, pH 4= +187 mV); slope = 59 mV
• Coatings on the glass may affect sensor slopes. See section 5 maintenance and cleaning.
• A constant output near 0 mV in all buffer solutions indicates a shorted electrode that must be replaced.
3.3 Response Time/Stability

Response time and stability are affected by the condition of the pH electrode's glass surface (ORP electrode - Platinum surface),
reference junction, and reference solution. Restoration to acceptable levels can often be accomplished by cleaning the electrode's glass
surface (ORP electrode - Platinum surface) and reference junction.
Electrode mV values should remain stable ±3 mV. Conditions that may cause fluctuations are:
1. Electrode coating
2. Ground fault: If proper operation is observed in the beaker, but is unstable in the application, a ground fault probably exists.
• Using instrumentation with isolated inputs and outputs may restore stable operation.
• Solution grounding may also restore stable operation.
page 2 of 4 ‡ SIGNET 2714-2717 Twist Lock pH and ORP Electrodes
4. ORP Electrode Calibration
All ORP electrodes are designed to ensure linearity during their lifespan. The following sections define proper electrode operation.
4.1 Offset (STD)

Electrode offsets occur due to:
• Clogged reference junction
• Aged or contaminated reference solution/wire
Offsets are easily checked in pH 7 buffer saturated with quinhydrone @ 25 °C; since the theoretical output is +87 mV. Any deviation
from +87 mV is the ORP electrode offset (i.e. +90 mV). Quinhydrone is the oxidizer measured by the ORP electrode and is required for
calibration. To guarantee buffer saturation, mix 1/8g quinhydrone per 50 mL of pH buffer.
ORP Electrode Offset:

Solution: pH 7 or pH 4 buffer saturated with Quinhydrone @ 25 °C
pH 7 + Quinhydrone pH 4 + Quinhydrone
Theoretical mV: + 87 mV + 264 mV
New: 87 ± 15 mV +264 ± 15 mV
Reliable: 87 ± 50 mV +264 ± 50 mV
Electrode offsets greater than ±50 mV indicate the electrode requires cleaning or replacement, see section 5.2.
4.2 Slope (SLP)

ORP slope errors are generally caused by contamination of the platinum electrode surface. Cleaning the electrode surface will usually
restore proper values, response time, and stability.
Common ORP Values

Reaction mV
Cr → Cr2+ + 2e- - 913

Fe → Fe2+ + 2e- - 440
Cr2+ →Cr3+ + e- - 407
4OH- → O2 + 2H2O + 4e - 401
2I- → I2 + 2e- - 400
Ti2+ → Ti3+ + e- - 370
Ni → Ni2+ + 2e- - 250
Pb → Pb2+ + 2e- - 126
Fe → Fe3+ + 3e- - 37
H2 → 2H+ + 2e- 0
Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e- + 771
Ag → Ag+ + e- + 799
Pb → Pb4+ + 4e- + 800
3Br- → Br3- + e- + 1060
2Br- → Br2 + 2e- + 1066
ClO2- → ClO2 + e- + 1160
Pt → Pt2+ + 2e- + 1188
Ag → Ag2+ + 2e- + 1369
Many systems require both pH and ORP calibration. To conserve calibration reference solutions, use pH 7 and 4 buffers for pH
calibration first. ORP calibration can be performed with the same buffers by adding quinhydrone.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 Maintenance
Variables can affect long term pH or ORP electrode life. For this reason, a maintenance log is recommended for trend analysis. When
storing boxed sensors, lay the sensor flat to maximize hydration of the glass surface. Keep the glass surface wet at all times. Soak the
sensor tip in pH 4.0 buffer during system maintenance intervals. In-line applications should be plumbed with a depression (trap) so liquid
is maintained around the sensor tip. If the sensor dehydrates, soak the sensor tip in pH 4 buffer for 24 to 48 hours, then visually inspect
the electrode for surface cracks, swelling, or discoloration. Severely dehydrated electrodes cannot be restored to normal operation.
‡ SIGNET 2714-2717 Twist-Lock pH and ORP Electrodes page 3 of 4

5.2 Cleaning
Cleaning techniques vary depending on the type of coating present on the glass electrode surface or reference junction.
• Soft coatings can be removed by vigorous stirring, or with directed spray of an applicable detergent or solvent onto the glass
electrode surface. Chlorine bleach or mild detergent may be used to remove soft coatings. Always rinse electrode tip in clean water
after cleaning.
• Hard coatings can be chemically removed. Use the least harsh chemical which will remove the contaminant within two (2) minutes
without attacking the materials of construction. e.g. calcium carbonate may be removed with a 5% HCL (muriatic acid) solution.
• Oily or organic coatings can be removed with detergents or an appropriate solvent that does not attack the materials of
construction e.g. isopropyl alcohol may be used but acetone must be avoided to prevent damage to the CPVC sensor body.
• ORP electrode surface (platinum rod) can be gently sanded with 600 grit wet and dry silicone or carbide sandpaper, jewelers rouge,
crocus cloth, or very fine steel wool.
WARNING!
Wear appropriate eye, face, hand, body, and respiratory protection when using chemicals or solvents.

REVERSE OSMOSIS AND NANOFILTRATION MEMBRANE ELEMENT

PRECAUTIONS
PERMEATE VALVE OPERATION
The membrane element shall not, at any time, be exposed to permeate back pressure
(where permeate static pressure exceeds feed static pressure). There shall be no
permeate back pressure at shutdown.
At no time during operation of a membrane element system should the permeate valve(s)
be closed. This includes pre-start up flushing, pre-shutdown flushing, cleaning(s) and
standard operation.
Closing the permeate valve during any phase of operation causes a pressure differential
across the tail end of the system and will likely result in irreparable damage to the glue lines
of the tail element(s). This damage will cause immediate increase in salt passage of the
system.
NOTE: Permeate valve(s) may be closed during shutdown after the system has been
flushed and/or when input of the feed water is stopped. In many cases this is necessary to
prevent an aerobic environment in the pressure vessels. The permeate valve (as well as
the concentrate) should be fully re-opened prior to re-introducing feed water.
Reference also Technical Service Bulletin 118.
CONCENTRATE VALVE OPERATION TO SET RECOVERY RATE
During start up of any system, the concentrate valve should be in the fully open position.
This valve should be moved towards the closed position after start up in order to obtain the
desired system recovery. NEVER START A SYSTEM WITH THE CONCENTRATE VALVE
CLOSED AND THEN OPENING IT UNTIL THE SYSTEM RECOVERY IS ACHIEVED.
NOTE: System recovery should be set to the design setpoint as recommended by

Hydranautics’ Rodesign Software.
PRESENCE OF FREE CHLORINE IN FEED WATER OF THIN FILM (POLYAMIDE)

MEMBRANE ELEMENTS
At no time should there be a Free Chlorine residual in the feed water. Even very low levels
of chlorine in the feed stream will result in irreparable oxidation damage of the membrane.
Therefore, operators should ensure that oxidant does not enter the RO system. To ensure
that membranes are not harmed by oxidant, Hydranautics recommends that the feed to the
RO/NF system is equipped with a ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) meter. The
feedwater can then be continuously monitored for the presence of oxidant. Except in
wastewater applications where chloramines are used, the ORP meter reading should
always be below 300 mV. If it exceeds 300 mV, the plant operator should receive a warning
that a dangerous level of oxidant is getting to the membrane and should take action, such
as adding or increasing the dose of SBS, to reduce the oxidant concentration. If the ORP
value reaches 350 mV, the plant should be shut down until the oxidant concentration can be
reduced to a safe value (ORP < 300 mV). Please contact your system provider for various
methods of removing Free Chlorine prior to the membrane system.
NOTE: The oxidative effects of Free Chlorine are strongly catalyzed in the presence of
transition metals such as iron and manganese. If transition metals are present, it is
recommended that there be NO Free Chlorine in the feed water.
LUBRICATION OF O-RINGS AND BRINE SEALS
At no time should petroleum based lubricants be used when lubricating interconnector o-

rings, end adapter o-rings or the membrane element brine seal. Acceptable lubricants
include glycerin, silicon-based Molykote III, or other silicone-based lubricants which contain
no hydrocarbons.
Safe Operation at High Temperature and Pressure
Since membranes are made from plastic materials, they are subject to plastic creep
under certain high temperature and high pressure operating conditions. For reverse
osmosis membranes, the primary concern is that the porous polysulfone support
(Figure 1) may undergo compression at these conditions, which decreases the porosity
of the intermediate layer. This results in greater resistance to water flow through this
layer. The end result is that the apparent permeability of the composite membrane will
decrease and the pressure required to achieve permeation rates at the reference
temperature of 25 C will thus increase. Hydranautics recommends that customers
operate their systems in accordance to the Temperature-Pressure limitations given in
Figure 2. This chart gives the maximum pressure that is allowed for a given feed
temperature. The RO elements are designed to run at up to 45 C. If the operator
desires to run at temperatures in excess of 40C, they should first contact the
Hydranautics Technical Department for advice on safe operation.

Vessel Shimming Procedure
To reduce the risk of having disconnects between elements within a pressure vessel, it is
advisable to shim the vessel properly. Shimming is the process of placing pieces of
material (shims) between two parts to take up free space and help to prevent movement.
For membrane systems, plastic or PVC washers are used as shims. This TSB outlines
the procedure to shim a vessel.
Note: Before beginning the shim procedure, ensure that the spacer tube (called the
thrust ring on HydraCode pressure vessels) is in place on the downstream end of the
vessel.
1. Remove the end plate on the feed end of the pressure vessel.
2. Push elements firmly into the vessel, and ensure that there is no free space
between elements.
3. Place an inboard connector on the lead element.
4. Obtain washer-like pieces of plastic (or other approved materials) 1/8” to
1/4” in thickness with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the
adapter. These are the shims.
5. Place the shims by trial and error method over the adapter and then replace
the endplate. Shims should be added until the endplate will not fit entirely in
place. Then remove a shim so that the total thickness of the shims is just
enough to allow the endplate to fit.
6. Repeat this procedure for all vessels.

General Storage Procedures for Composite Polyamide (ESPA, ESNA,

CPA, LFC, SWC) and Polyvinyl Derivative (PVD) RO Membrane Elements
This bulletin provides guidelines for storing Hydranautics' Composite Polyamide Reverse
Osmosis (RO) membrane elements.
Note: Before undertaking any long-term or short-term storage operation, contact

Hydranautics for specific instructions related to the local environment.
Scope
The general storage procedures included in this bulletin are as follows:
1. Short-term storage of RO membrane elements in place in pressure

tubes.
2. Long-term storage of RO membrane elements in place in pressure tubes.
3. Dry storage of RO membrane elements as spares or before start-up of
an RO plant.
Note: The composite polyamide type of RO membrane elements may not be exposed
to chlorinated water under any circumstances. Any such exposure will cause
irreparable damage to the membrane. Absolute care must be taken following
any disinfection of piping or equipment or the preparation of cleaning or storage
solutions to ensure that no trace of chlorine is present in feedwater to the RO
membrane elements. If there is any doubt about the presence of chlorine,
perform chemical testing to make sure. Neutralize any chlorine residual with a
sodium bisulfite solution, and ensure adequate contact time to accomplish
complete dechlorination.
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage is for periods where an RO plant must remain out of operation for more
than five days, but fewer than thirty days, with the RO elements in place. Prepare each RO
train as follows:
1. Flush the RO section with feedwater, while simultaneously venting any

gas from the system. Flushing with RO permeate water instead of
feedwater may help remove build up of foulant (reference TSB 107) .
2. When the pressure tubes are filled, close the appropriate valves to
prevent air from entering the system.
TSB108.07 Page 2
3. Reflush as described above at 5-day intervals.

Note: Short term storage with RO permeate can have added benefits, please
refer to TSB107 for details.
Long-Term Storage
Long-term storage is for periods where an RO plant must remain out of operation for more
than thirty days with the RO elements in place. Prepare each RO train as follows:
1. Clean the RO membrane elements in place.

2. Flush the RO section with an approved biocide (see TSB110 or check
with Hydranautics for recommendations and approvals of currently
available products) prepared from permeate.
3. When the RO section is filled with this solution (make sure that it is
completely filled), close the valves to retain the solution in the RO
section.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with fresh solution every thirty days if the
temperature is below 80°F (27°C), or every fifteen days if the
temperature is above 80°F (27°C).
5. When the RO system is ready to be returned to service, flush the system
for approximately one hour using low-pressure feedwater with the
product dump valve open to drain; then flush it at high pressure for 5 to
10 minutes with the product dump valve open to drain. Before returning
the RO system to service, check for any residual biocide in the product.
Prior To Installation
When RO elements are stored prior to installation, they should be protected from direct
sunlight and stored in a cool, dry place with an ambient temperature range of 40°F to 95°F
(4.4°C to 35°C). During the period of transit between the factory and the plant site, the
elements should not be exposed to temperatures below freezing, 32°F (0°C), or above
113°F (45°C). New Elements are enclosed in a sealed polyethylene bag containing a
storage solution, and then packaged in a cardboard box. Large shipments may come
packaged in crates strapped to pallets containing 25 single elements. When storing the
pallets of elements, they may be stacked 2 high. Pallets should NOT exceed 2 high.

Element Loading Guidelines November 2000 TSB122.01
The following provides general information for installing Hydranautics elements to provide
optimally reliable performance.
Flushing
If the system is new, it is strongly recommended to flush the system first before loading
elements. This allows any debris, solvents, or chlorine to be cleared so that they do not
come in contact with the membranes.
Vessel Preparation
Clean the inside of the vessels before loading. This will remove any dust and debris that
could collect on the membrane surface. Hosing down the insides of the vessels usually will
not be sufficient to clean the vessels. Use of a sponge ball wrapped in a towel and soaked
in a 50% solution of glycerin and water is highly recommended. The sponge ball can be
pulled through the vessel with a piece of rope. Alternatively, the sponge ball can be pushed
through the length of the tube with a piece of 2 inch PVC pipe with a PVC flange attached
to the end.
Caution: Be sure to avoid scraping the pipe along the vessel surface.
Storage
If elements cannot be loaded upon delivery, store elements out of direct sunlight. Do not
allow the elements to freeze. (Please refer to Hydranautics Technical Service Bulletin 101
for cellulose acetate elements or Technical Service Bulletin 108 for composite elements).
Lubricants
• When loading elements into a system, do NOT use oil, grease, or petroleum jelly
based compounds to lubricate o-rings and brine seals.
• Use silicone based gel or a mixture of 50% glycerin in water to lubricate 0-rings and
brine seals.
(Rev. B)
Shimming
Due to inconsistencies in vessel length, it is highly recommended to shim elements to take
up free space in the vessel. This helps to prevent elements from moving when the system
is shut down and restarted. The appearance of leaks between elements is also minimized
when the elements are shimmed.
To shim, simply place PVC “washers” of varying thickness (1/8” to 3/8”) over the FEED
side inboard adapter. Add as many shims as necessary until the end plate fits snugly
against the shims. If necessary a shim may be removed if the end cap is difficult to
reinstall. A gap of 1/4 inch between the end plate and the shims will not cause problems in
performance.
Operation
With all composite membranes, do not expose the membrane to chlorine or other strong
oxidants. A concentration of chlorine in excess of 0.1 PPM can cause irreversible damage
to the membrane.
With cellulose acetate (CAB) membranes, operate in the pH range of 4-6. Operation
outside of this range will cause premature degradation of the membrane.
Note: Assure that flush sequences are within these pH ranges. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to the membranes.

Sales Representative or the Technical Support department at Hydranautics.

Membrane Start-up, Shutdown, and Preservative Flushing Guidelines

This Technical Service Bulletin provides information related to starting up and shutting down an
RO system with Hydranautics membranes, and for flushing composite elements prior to use.
Preservative Flushing Introduction

To preserve elements from biological growth and to help maintain performance over time,
Hydranautics composite type membranes (CPA, ESPA, ESNA, LFC, and SWC) are stored in
either a 0.99% sodium bisulfite solution, or a combination of 0.99% sodium bisulfite and 10%
propylene glycol solution. It is therefore advised to flush membranes prior to use to eliminate
residual preservatives in the product stream. The standard model types that are stored in the
sodium bisulfite and propylene glycol solution are the CPA2-4040, ESNA1-4040, ESPA1-4040,
ESPA3-4040, ESPA4-4040, ESPA1, ESPA3, and ESPA4. All other standard model types are
stored in sodium bisulfite only.
Once the elements have had the preservatives flushed from them, they would need to
have preservatives re-applied for long-term storage. Please refer to TSB108 which
details our short-term and long-term storage procedures for our composite membranes.
Preservative Flushing during Start-up

Once elements have been loaded and vessels sealed, it is recommended to flush the system
to drain with feedwater at design operating pressure for a minimum of 2 hours. If the elements
are to be used in systems requiring ultrapure water, a minimum flushing time of 24 hours is
recommended to reduce the TOC concentration to below 50 ppb (assuming zero TOC in the
feedwater).
Warning: For potable applications using models that are preserved with both
sodium bisulfite and propylene glycol, discard the product water for at
least 24 hours prior to drinking or using in food applications. Ingestion
of the preservative may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract,
colic, diarrhea, or other similar symptoms.
For potable applications using models that are preserved with sodium
bisulfite only, discard the product water for at least 2 hours prior to
drinking or using in food applications.
TSB118.10 Page 2
RO System Start-up
It is important to be sure that the elements are loaded and shimmed correctly to remove any
excess slack that may cause disconnects (see TSB122 - Element Loading Guidelines). A low
pressure flush to purge air from the membranes is always recommended before a high
pressure startup. This can be accomplished through the use of a soft-start mechanism, or a
variable frequency drive. Failure to do this can result in a water shock wave (water hammer)
that can cause physical damage to the RO membranes. The permeate valves should always
be open to drain during this flush to prevent damage to the membranes.
After the air has been purged from the system the feed pressure should be increased gradually
up to the working pressure of the RO unit. Pressurization (and depressurization) of the
membrane elements should not exceed ten (10) psi/second (0.7 bar/second) at any time.
RO System Shutdown
Brackish Systems
Upon shutdown for brackish systems, a flush with the feed water at low recovery (brine valve
wide open) is usually sufficient to remove the high concentration of salts from the membranes.
The permeate valves should be open to drain during this flush to prevent damage to the
membranes.
Seawater Systems
Upon shutdown for seawater systems, a flush with RO permeate is recommended to remove
the high concentration of salts from the membranes. The permeate valves should be open to
drain during this flush to prevent damage to the membranes. If RO permeate is temporarily
unavailable, the membranes should be flushed with RO feed at low recovery (with brine valve
wide open). The membranes should then be flushed with RO permeate as soon as it is
available. The seawater RO system should not be left unflushed with a high concentration
brine on the membrane surface.
NOTE:
The quantity of water used in both normal RO System Start-up and RO System Shutdown
flushing should be equal to or greater than that which is retained in the system. For standard
16-inch X 40 inch elements assume thirty-four (34) gallons (130 L) per element. For standard
8-inch X 40-inch elements assume ten (10) gallons (37.85L) per element. For standard 4-inch
X 40-inch elements assume three (3) gallons (11.35L) per element.
If further information is required, please relay questions to the Technical Support department at
our corporate headquarters.

Technical Service Bulletin May 1998 TSB114.02
Procedure for Pressure Vessel Probing
This bulletin provides general instructions for probing a pressure vessel containing
reverse osmosis membrane elements. Probing a pressure vessel allows you to
determine where there is a problem in a particular vessel. The problem may be either a
poorly performing membrane element, an O-ring leak at an interconnector or end adapter,
or possibly even a cracked adapter. Probing consists of inserting semi-rigid tubing into
the permeate channel of the pressure vessel and measuring the water quality at different
areas along the length of the pressure vessel.
Test Equipment Set Up (8.0 and 8.5 inch Pressure Vessels)
1. Shut down the RO system.
2. Remove the permeate cap from the pressure vessel that you wish to probe. (The
cap should be on the opposite end of the vessel from where you are collecting the
permeate).
3. Connect a 1 1/4" threaded coupling to the permeate port. Thread in a 1 1/4" by

1/2" threaded reducer bushing into the coupling. Thread in a 1/2" nipple and 1/2"
ball valve. Finally, thread in a 1/2" Parker Fast & Tite male connector (for 3/8"
tubing - Part # P6MC8). Remove the metal collar and O-ring from the Fast & Tite
fitting.
4. Obtain a piece of 3/8" outside diameter natural colored polyethylene tubing. The
tubing should be several feet longer than the length of the vessel. Using a
permanent marker, mark the total length of tubing needed to place the end of the
tubing at the point where the farthest element connects to the adapter. Then, mark
the tubing in 20" increments from this point.
TSB114.02 Page 2
Test Procedure
1. Close the ball valve on the probing fittings. Restart the RO system.
2. After the system has run for 15 minutes, insert the tubing into the Fast & Tite fitting
while opening up the ball valve. Push the tubing in until the “total length” mark is
reached.
3. After 1 minute, measure the conductivity of the water coming out of the tubing.
Recheck several times to make sure the value is constant. Record the
conductivity and note the location.
4. Pull the tubing out 20" using your black marks as a guide, wait 1 more minute, and
repeat the measurement procedure. You may slightly close the ball valve to hold
the tubing in place. When the end of the tubing comes out of the vessel, close the
ball valve, and continue to the next vessel.
5. Chart the value of the permeate conductivity over the length of the vessel. A
steady trend should be observed as a function of position.
Interpreting Probing Data
Evaluation of the data can be done by reviewing the conductivity values along the length
of the permeate channel for individual pressure vessels, and by comparing the trends of
parallel vessels against one another. Since individual situations and systems are unique,
it is best to contact Hydranautics for consultation in analysing data.
In many cases, a sudden increase in the permeate conductivity at a junction between

elements indicates an O-ring problem or a disconnect between elements and
interconnectors. Replace faulty O-rings and ensure that elements are properly shimmed
(TSB109) to eliminate one possible source of a problem. If the problem should persist
following these corrective actions, contact Hydranautics for specific information on
troubleshooting a particuliar system.

Technical Service Bulletin June 2006 TSB110.08
Biocides for Disinfection and Storage of Hydranautics Membrane

Elements
This bulletin provides general information about biocides that may be used with
Hydranautics membrane elements for disinfection and/or storage. Before storage or
disinfection of Hydranautics elements, one should become familiar with Technical
Service Bulletins 101, 103, and 108 which describe the general storage procedures for
the CAB, CPA, ESPA, ESNA, SWC, LFC and PVD membrane elements. Also, one
should confirm which type of membrane elements are actually in the system. Since
elements may be composed of either cellulose acetate, composite polyamide
membrane, or polyvinyl derivative, it is imperative to be certain of the type to be
disinfected.
SOME OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES, ESPECIALLY THE USE OF FREE

CHLORINE, ARE APPLICABLE TO CELLULOSE ACETATE MEMBRANE
ELEMENTS ONLY AND WILL DAMAGE THE COMPOSITE POLYAMIDE
MEMBRANE ELEMENTS.
If any uncertainty exists regarding the type of elements in use, please contact
Hydranautics for confirmation of compatibility of specific procedures with membrane
types.
If the feed water contains any hydrogen sulfide or dissolved iron or manganese, the
oxidating disinfectants (chlorine and hydrogen peroxide) should not be used. Please
contact Hydranautics for alternative methods of disinfection.
Warning: Some of the biocides listed in this procedure are toxic in some
degree to humans. Allow ample time for system flushing to
remove the presence of the biocides before commencing
normal operation. Hydranautics assumes no liability for the
misuse of any chemical listed herein, and all safety issues are
the responsibility of the end user. Consult manufacturers’
material safety data sheets (MSDS’s) for proper handling and
disposal of any of the listed chemicals.
TSB110.08 Page 2
Biocides for Cellulose Acetate (CAB) Membrane Elements
Free Chlorine
Free chlorine is used at a concentration of 0.1 to 1.0 ppm. Free chlorine may be
applied continuously or on an intermittent basis. If necessary, "shock" chlorination may
be used with cellulose acetate membranes. In this procedure, the membrane elements
are exposed to water which contains up to 5.0 ppm of free chlorine for a period of one
hour in biweekly intervals. If corrosion products are present in the feed water, free
chlorine may cause membrane degradation. If corrosion is present, chloramine, used
at up to 10 ppm, is recommended instead of free chlorine.
Formaldehyde
A formaldehyde solution of 0.1 to 1.0% concentration may be used for system
disinfection and as a preservative for long term storage.
Glutaraldehyde
A glutaraldehyde solution of 0.1 to 1.0% concentration may be used for system
disinfection and as a preservative for long term storage.
Isothiazolin
Isothiazolin is distributed by manufacturers of water treatment chemicals under the
trade name Kathon. The commercial solution contains 1.5% of the active ingredient.
The recommended concentration of Kathon for disinfection and storage is 15 to 25
ppm.
Biocides which can be used with Composite Polyamide (ESPA, ESNA,

CPA, LFC, SWC) and Polyvinyl Derivative (PVD) Membrane Elements
Formaldehyde
A formaldehyde solution of 0.1 to 1.0% concentration may be used for system
disinfection and as a preservative for long term storage. The membrane elements
should be operated for at least 24 hours before being exposed to formaldehyde. (See
NOTE below.)
TSB110.08 Page 3
Glutaraldehyde
A glutaraldehyde solution of 0.1 to 1.0% concentration may be used for system
disinfection and as a preservative for long term storage. The membrane elements
should be operated for at least 24 hours before being exposed to glutaraldehyde. (See
NOTE below.)
NOTE: Addition of formaldehyde and/or gluteraldehyde to new elements may

cause flux reduction of 10-20%. To minimize the chances of flux reduction,
membrane elements should be run for a minimum of 24-hours prior to exposure
to formaldehyde and or gluteraldehyde. Regardless, first time exposure to
formaldehyde and/or gluteraldehyde may result in permanent flux loss.
Subsequent exposure to formaldehyde and/or gluteraldehyde will result in
additional temporary flux loss and will require significant flushing to return to
pre-exposure flux rates.
Isothiazolin
Isothiazolin is distributed by manufacturers of water treatment chemicals under the
trade name Kathon. The commercial solution contains 1.5% of the active ingredient.
The recommended concentration of Kathon for disinfection and storage is 15 to 25
ppm.
DBNPA
DBNPA (2,2 dibromo-3-nitrilo-propionamide) is an effective biocide that comes in
several different forms. For slug dosing, the recommended concentration of DBNPA is
10 to 30 ppm of active ingredient, usually circulated through the membranes using the
cleaning system for 30 minutes to 2 hours. For continuous dosing, a DBNPA
concentration of 0.5 to 1 ppm is recommended. Although DBNPA is useful as a
disinfectant, it should not be used for storage since it will degrade the membrane and
lower the rejection.
Sodium Bisulfite
TSB110.08 Page 4
Sodium bisulfite can be used as an inhibitor of biological growth. To control biological

growth with sodium bisulfite, it is applied at a dosing rate of 500 ppm for 30 to 60
minutes daily. Sodium bisulfite at a 1% concentration can also be used as a
preservative during long term storage of the membrane elements.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide or a solution of hydrogen peroxide with paracetic acid can be used
for disinfection. Special care must be taken that transition metals (Fe, Mn) are not
present in the feed water, since in the presence of transition metals oxidation of the
membrane surface may occur resulting in membrane degradation. The concentration
of hydrogen peroxide in the disinfecting solution should not exceed 0.2%. Hydrogen
peroxide should not be used as a preservative for long term storage of membrane
elements. During application of hydrogen peroxide the water temperature should not
exceed 25°C.

Technical Service Bulletin May 1998 TSB113.02
Procedure for Measuring Silt Density Index (SDI)
This bulletin provides general instructions for measuring the silt density index
(SDI). The SDI is a popular method for determining feed water quality in RO
applications. It is based on the time required to filter a volume of feedwater
through a 0.45 µm filter pad at a feed pressure of 30 psig.
Test Equipment Set Up

1. Assemble the test equipment per figure 1.
2. Locate a sample tap on the feedwater piping and install the test
equipment.
3. Adjust the pressure regulator to 30 PSI with a filter pad installed.
Use a fresh filter for the actual test.
Note: For best results:
• Use dull tweezers when positioning the filter to prevent puncturing
the filter.
• Ensure that the O-ring is clean and in good condition, and is properly
positioned.
• Avoid touching the filter with fingers.
• Flush the apparatus to remove any contaminants that may be held
within it.
Test Procedure
1. Take the temperature of the feedwater. The temperature should not

vary more than + 1 °C between the start and end of the test.
2. Bleed any entrained air in the filter holder. Depending on the model
of the filter holder, either open the bleed valve, or loosen the filter
TSB113.02 Page 2
holder while cracking the ball valve. Then close the bleed valve or
filter holder.
3. Place a 500 ml graduated cylinder under the filter to measure the
amount of water that passes through the filter.
4. Open the ball valve fully, and measure the time required to collect
100 ml and 500 ml* from the time the ball valve is opened. Record
these times, leaving the valve open and letting the flow continue.
5. After 5 minutes, repeat the time measurement required to collect 100
ml and 500 ml samples. Repeat again after 10 and 15 minutes of
elapsed time.
6. If the time required to obtain a 100 ml sample is greater than about
60 seconds, pluggage will be about 90%, and it is not necessary to
continue the test.
7. Measure the water temperature again to ensure that it did not vary
by more than 1 °C from the initial temperature.
8. After completing the test and disconnecting the apparatus, the filter
paper may be saved in a plastic bag for future reference.
Calculations
SDI = P30 / Tt = 100 * (1 - Ti / Tf) / Tt
where SDI = Silt Density Index

P30 = % pluggage at 30 psig feed pressure**
Tt = Total test time in minutes (usually 15 minutes, but may be less if
75% pluggage** occurs in less than 15 minutes).
Ti = initial time in seconds required to obtain sample.
Tf = time required to obtain sample after 15 minutes (or less).
NOTES
* Time to collect 500 ml should be approximately 5 times greater than the time to
collect 100 ml. If 500 ml collection time is much greater than 5X, SDI should be
calculated using 100 ml collection times.
** For accurate SDI measurements, P30 should not exceed 75%. If P30 exceeds
this value, re-run test and obtain Tf at a shorter time, (T).

Foulants and Cleaning Procedures

for composite polyamide RO Membrane Elements
(ESPA, ESNA, CPA, LFC, and SWC)
This bulletin provides general information about the usual foulants affecting the performance of
Hydranautics' Composite Polyamide Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane elements and the removal of these
foulants. The information in this bulletin applies to 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, 8.5-inch, and 16-inch diameter
RO membrane elements.
Note: The Composite Polyamide type of RO membrane elements may not be exposed to
chlorinated water under any circumstances. Any such exposure will cause irreparable
damage to the membrane. Absolute care must be taken following any disinfection of piping
or equipment or the preparation of cleaning or storage solutions to ensure that no trace of
chlorine is present in the feedwater to the RO membrane elements. If there is any doubt
about the presence of chlorine, perform chemical testing to make sure. Neutralize any
chlorine residual with a sodium bisulfite solution, and ensure adequate mixing and contact
time to accomplish complete dechlorination. Dosing rate is 1.8 to 3.0 ppm sodium bisulfite
per 1.0 ppm of free chlorine.
Note: It is recommended that all RO membrane cleaning operations should be closely coordinated
with Hydranautics during the RO membrane element warranty period. Hydranautics field
service personnel are available to be on site for cleaning assistance, should the need arise.
Please contact Hydranautics for current charges for this service.
Note: The use of cationic surfactant should be avoided in cleaning solutions, since irreversible
fouling of the membrane elements may occur.
If additional information is needed, please contact the Technical Services Department at:

RO Membrane Fouling and Cleaning

During normal operation over a period of time, RO membrane elements are subject to fouling by
suspended or sparingly soluble materials that may be present in the feedwater. Common examples of
foulants are:
• Calcium carbonate scale
• Sulfate scale of calcium, barium or strontium
• Metal oxides (iron, manganese, copper, nickel, aluminum, etc.)
• Polymerized silica scale
• Inorganic colloidal deposits
• Mixed inorganic/organic colloidal deposits
• NOM organic material (Natural Organic Matter)
• Man-made organic material (e.g. antiscalant/dispersants, cationic polyelectrolytes)
• Biological (bacterial bioslime, algae, mold, or fungi)
The nature and rapidity of fouling depends on a number of factors, such as the quality of the feedwater and
the system recovery rate. Typically, fouling is progressive, and if not controlled early, will impair the RO
membrane element performance in a relatively short time. Cleaning is should accur when the RO shows
evidence of fouling, just prior to a long-term shutdown, or as a matter of scheduled routine maintenance.
The elements shall be maintained in a clean or “nearly clean” condition to prevent excessive fouling by the
foulants listed above. Some fouling is allowed as long as:
- normalized permeate flow decrease is less than 10%
- normalized permeate quality decrease is less than 10%

.
- normalized pressure drop, as measured between the feed and concentrate headers, increase is less
than 15%.
Cleaning should be carried out before these values are exceeded to maintain the elements in a clean or
“nearly clean” condition. Effective cleaning is evidenced by the return of the normalized parameters to their
initial, Start-up, value. In the event you do not normalize your operating data, the above values still apply if
you do not have major changes in critical operating parameters. The operating parameters that have to
stay constant are permeate flow, permeate back-pressure, recovery, temperature, and feed TDS. If these
operating parameters fluctuate, then it is highly recommended that you normalize the data to determine if
fouling is occurring or if the RO is actually operating normally based on the change in a critical operating
parameter. Hydranautics offers a free normalization software program called ROData, which can be
downloaded from our web site at www.membranes.com.
Monitoring overall plant performance on a regular basis is an essential step in recognizing when
membrane elements are becoming fouled. Performance is affected progressively and in varying degrees,
depending on the nature of the foulants. Table 1 “RO Troubleshooting Matrix” provides a summary of the
expected effects that common foulants have on performance.
RO cleaning frequency due to fouling will vary by site. A rough rule of thumb as to an acceptable cleaning
frequency is once every 3 to 12 months. If you have to clean more than once a month, you should be able
to justify further capital expenditures for improved RO pretreatment or a re-design of the RO operation. If
the cleaning frequency is every one to three months, you may want to focus on improving the operation of
your existing equipment but further capital expenditure may be harder to justify.
It is important to clean the membranes when they are only lightly fouled, not heavily fouled. Heavy fouling
can impair the effectiveness of the cleaning chemical by impeding the penetration of the chemical deep into
the foulant and in the flushing of the foulant out of the elements. If normalized membrane performance
drops 30 to 50%, it may be impossible to fully restore the performance back to baseline conditions.
TSB107.15 Page 3
When inorganic coagulants are used in the pretreatment process, there can often be incomplete reaction of
the inorganic salt and thus insufficient formation of a filterable floc. The user should ensure that excessive
amounts of inorganic coagulant are not fed to the RO system. Excessive amounts of coagulant can be
measured by using SDI filter equipment. In the case of iron, the iron on the SDI filter pad should typically
be 3 µg/pad and never above 5 µg/pad.
In addition to the use of turbidity and SDI, particle counters are also very effective to accurately measure
the suitability of the feedwater for NF/RO elements. The measure of particles greater than 2 microns in
size should be < 100 particles per millilitre.
One RO design feature that is commonly over-looked in reducing RO cleaning frequency is the use of RO
permeate water for flushing foulants from the system. Soaking the RO elements during standby with
permeate can help dissolve scale and loosen precipitates, reducing the frequency of chemical cleaning.
What you clean for can vary site by site depending on the foulant. Complicating the situation frequently is
that more than one foulant can be present, which explains why cleanings frequently require a low pH and
high pH cleaning regiment.
Note: The membrane elements shall not be exposed to feed water containing oil, grease, or other foreign
matter which proves to chemically or physically damage the integrity of the membrane.

Discussion on Foulants
Calcium Carbonate Scale: Calcium carbonate is a mineral scale and may be deposited from almost any
feedwater if there is a failure in the antiscalant/dispersant addition system or in the acid injection pH control
system that results in a high feedwater pH. An early detection of the resulting calcium carbonate scaling is
absolutely essential to prevent the damage that crystals can cause on the active membrane layers.
Calcium carbonate scale that has been detected early can be removed by lowering the feedwater pH to
between 3.0 and 5.0 for one or two hours. Longer resident accumulations of calcium carbonate scale can
be removed by a low pH cleaning with a citric acid solution.
Calcium, Barium & Strontium Sulfate Scale: Sulfate scale is a much “harder” mineral scale than
calcium carbonate and is harder to remove. Sulfate scale may be deposited if there is a failure in the
antiscalant/dispersant feed system or if there is an over feed of sulfuric acid in pH adjustment. Early
detection of the resulting sulfate scaling is absolutely essential to prevent the damage that crystals can
cause on the active membrane layers. Barium and strontium sulfate scales are particularly difficult to
remove as they are insoluble in almost all cleaning solutions, so special care should be taken to prevent
their formation.
Calcium Phosphate Scale: This scale is particularly common in municipal waste waters and polluted
water supplies which may contain high levels of phosphate. This scale can generally be removed with
acidic pH cleaners. At this time, phosphate scaling calculations are not performed by the Hydranautics
RO Design software. As a rule of thumb, contact Hydranautics technical department if phosphate levels in
the feed are 5 ppm or higher.
Metal Oxide/Hydroxide Foulants: Typical metal oxide and metal hydroxide foulants are iron, zinc,
manganese, copper, aluminum, etc. They can be the result of corrosion products from unlined pipes and
tanks, or result from the oxidation of the soluble metal ion with air, chlorine, ozone, potassium
permanganate, or they can be the result of a pretreatment filter system upset that utilizes iron or aluminum-
based coagulant aids.
Polymerized Silica Coating: A silica gel coating resulting from the super-saturation and polymerization of
soluble silica can be very difficult to remove. It should be noted that this type of silica fouling is different
from silica-based colloidal foulants, which may be associated with either metal hydroxides or organic
matter. Silica scale can be very difficult to remove by traditional chemical cleaning methods. Contact
Hydranautics technical department if the traditional methods are unsuccessful. There does exist harsher
cleaning chemicals, like ammonium biflouride, that have been used successfully at some sites but are
considered rather hazardous to handle and can damage equipment.
Colloidal Foulants: Colloids are inorganic or mixed inorganic/organic based particles that are suspended
in water and will not settle out due to gravity. Colloidal matter typically contains one or more of the
following major components: iron, aluminum, silica, sulfur, or organic matter.
Dissolved NOM Organic Foulants: The sources of dissolved NOM (Natural Organic Matter) foulants are
typically derived from the decomposition of vegetative material into surface waters or shallow wells. The
chemistry of organic foulants is very complex, with the major organic components being either humic acid
or fulvic acid. Dissolved NOMs can quickly foul RO membranes by being absorbed onto the membrane
surface. Once absorption has occurred, then a slower fouling process of gel or cake formation starts. It
should be noted that the mechanism of fouling with dissolved NOM should not be confused with the
mechanism of fouling created by NOM organic material that is bound up with colloidal particles.
Microbiological Deposits: Organic-based deposits resulting from bacterial slimes, fungi, molds, etc. can
be difficult to remove, particularly if the feed path is plugged. Plugging of the feed path makes it difficult to
TSB107.15 Page 6
introduce and distribute the cleaning solutions. To inhibit additional growth, it is important to clean and
sanitize not only the RO system, but also the pretreatment, piping, dead-legs, etc. The membranes, once
chemically cleaned, will require the use of a Hydranautics approved biocide and an extended exposure
requirement to be effective. For further information on biocides, refer to Hydranautics Technical Service
Bulletin TSB-110 “Biocides for Disinfection and Storage of Hydranautics Membrane Elements”.
Selection and Use of Cleaning Chemicals

There are a number of factors involved in the selection of a suitable cleaning chemical (or chemicals) and
proper cleaning protocol. The first time you have to perform a cleaning, it is recommended to contact the
manufacturer of the equipment, the RO element manufacturer, or a RO specialty chemical and service
supplier. Once the suspected foulant(s) are identified, one or more cleaning chemicals will be
recommended. These cleaning chemical(s) can be generic or can be private-labeled proprietary
chemicals. Typically, the generic chemicals can be of technical grades and are available from local
chemical supply companies. The proprietary RO cleaning chemicals can be more expensive, but may be
easier to use and you cannot rule out the advantage of the intellectual knowledge supplied by these
companies. Some independent RO service companies can determine the proper chemicals and cleaning
protocol for your situation by testing at their facility a fouled element pulled from your system.
It is not unusual to use a number of different cleaning chemicals in a specific sequence to achieve the
optimum cleaning. Typically, a high pH cleaning is used first to remove foulants like oil or biological matter,
followed by a low pH cleaning to remove foulants like mineral scale or metal oxides/hydroxides fouling.
There are times that order of high and low pH cleaning solutions is reversed or one solution only is required
to clean the membranes. Some cleaning solutions have detergents added to aid in the removal of heavy
biological and organic debris, while others have a chelating agent like EDTA added to aid in the removal of
colloidal material, organic and biological material, and sulfate scale. An important thing to remember is that
the improper selection of a cleaning chemical, or the sequence of chemical introduction, can make the
foulant worse.
Hydranautics recommends that the membrane system operator thoroughly investigate the signs of fouling
before they select a cleaning chemical and a cleaning protocol. Some forms of fouling (iron deposits and
scaling commonly associated with well waters) may require only a simple low pH cleaning. However, for
most complex fouling phenomena, Hydranautics recommends the following sequence:
1. Flushing with permeate with addition of non oxidizing biocide (DBNPA or similar type) at the end of
the flushing.
2. High pH CIP – Temperature versus pH as per recommendations in this TSB
3. Flushing with permeate until pH on the brine side is below pH 8.5
4. Low pH CIP
5. Acid flushing with permeate and non oxidizing biocide (DBNPA or similar type)
General Precautions in Cleaning Chemical Selection and Usage

• If you are using a proprietary chemical, make sure the chemical has been qualified for use with your
Hydranautics membrane by the chemical supplier. The chemical supplier’s instructions should not be
in conflict with Hydranautics recommended cleaning parameters and limits listed in this Technical
Service Bulletin.
• If you are using generic chemicals, make sure the chemical has been qualified for use with your
Hydranautics membrane in this Technical Service Bulletin.
• Use the least harshest cleaning regiment to get the job done. This includes the cleaning parameters of
pH, temperature, and contact time. This will optimize the useful life of the membrane.
• Clean at the recommended target temperatures to optimize cleaning efficiency and membrane life.
TSB107.15 Page 7
• Use the minimal amount of chemical contact time to optimize membrane life.
• Be prudent in the adjustment of pH at the low and high pH range to extend the useful life of the
membrane. A “gentle” pH range is 4 to 10, while the harshest is 2 to 12.
• Oil and biologically -fouled membranes should not use a low pH clean-up first as the oil and biological
matter will congeal.
• Cleaning and flushing flows should be in the same direction as the normal feed flow to avoid potential
telescoping and element damage.
• When cleaning a multi-stage RO, the most effective cleaning is one stage at a time so cleaning flow
velocities can be optimized and foulants from upstream stages don’t have to pass through down-
stream stages.
• Flushing out detergents with higher pH permeate can reduce foaming problems.
• Verify that proper disposal requirements for the cleaning solution are followed.
• If your system has been fouled biologically, you may want to consider the extra step of introducing a
sanitizing biocide chemical before and after a successful cleaning. Biocides can be introduced before
and immediately after cleaning, periodically (e.g. once a week), or continuously during service. You
must be sure that the biocide is compatible with the membrane, does not create any health risks, is
effective in controlling biological activity, and is not cost prohibitive.
• For safety reasons, make sure all hoses and piping can handle the temperatures, pressures and pH’s
encountered during a cleaning.
• For safety reasons, always add chemicals slowly to an agitated batch of make-up water.
• For safety reason, always wear safety glasses and protective gear when working with chemicals.
• For safety reasons, don’t mix acids with caustics. Thoroughly rinse the 1st cleaning solution from the
RO system before introducing the next solution.
Selecting a Cleaning Solution

Table 2 lists the recommended generic chemical solutions for cleaning an RO membrane element based
on the foulant to be removed.
Important: It is recommended that the MSDS of the cleaning chemicals be procured from
the chemical supplier and that all safety precautions be utilized in the handling and storage
of all chemicals.

Table 3 “Hydranautics Recipes for Cleaning Solutions” offers instructions on the volumes of bulk chemical
to be added to 100 U.S. gallons (379 liters) of make-up water. Prepare the solutions by proportioning the
amount of chemicals to the amount of make-up water to be used. Make-up water quality should be of RO
permeate or deionized (DI) quality, and be free of chlorine and hardness. Before forwarding the cleaning
solution to the membranes, it is important to thoroughly mix it, adjust the pH according to the target pH, and
stabilize the temperature at the target temperature. Unless otherwise instructed, the cleaning design
parameters are based on a chemical recirculation flow period of one hour and an optional chemical soak
period of one hour.
Table 4 “Hydranautics Maximum pH and Temperature Limits for Cleaning” highlights the maximum pH and
temperature limits for specific membranes, after which irreparable membrane damage can occur. A
suggested minimum temperature limit is 70 F (21 C), but cleaning effectiveness and the solubility of the
cleaning chemical is significantly improved at higher temperatures.
Description of Cleaning Solutions
Note: The notation (w) denotes that the diluted chemical solution strength is based on the actual weight of
the 100% pure chemical or active ingredient.
Solution 1: This is a low pH cleaning solution of 2.0% (w) citric acid (C6H8O7). It is useful in removing
inorganic scale (e.g. calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, strontium sulfate) and metal
oxides/hydroxides (e.g. iron, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc), and inorganic-based colloidal material.
Note: Citric acid is available as a powder.
Solution 2: This is a high pH cleaning solution (target pH of 10.0) of 2.0% (w) of STPP (sodium
tripolyphosphate) (Na5P3O10) and 0.8% (w) of Na-EDTA (sodium salt of ethylaminediaminetetraacetic acid).
It is specifically recommended for removing calcium sulfate scale and light to moderate levels of organic
foulants of natural origin. STPP functions as an inorganic-based chelating agent and detergent. Na-EDTA
is an organic-based chelating cleaning agent that aids in the sequestering and removal of divalent and
trivalent cations and metal ions. STPP and Na-EDTA are available as powders.
Solution 3: This is a high pH cleaning solution (target pH of 10.0) of 2.0% % (w) of STPP (sodium
tripolyphosphate) (Na5P3O10) and 0.025% (w) Na-DDBS (C6H5(CH2)12-SO3Na) (sodium salt of
dodecylbenzene sulfonate). It is specifically recommended for removing heavier levels of organic foulants
of natural origin. STPP functions as an inorganic-based chelating agent and detergent. Na-DDBS
functions as an anionic detergent.
Solution 4: This is a low pH cleaning solution (target pH of 2.5) of 0.5% (w) of HCL (hydrochloric) acid. It
is useful in removing inorganic scale (e.g. calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, strontium
sulfate and metal oxides/hydroxides (e.g. iron, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc) and inorganic-based
colloidal material. This cleaning solution is considered to be harsher than Solution 1. HCL acid, a strong
mineral acid, is also known as muriatic acid. HCL acid is available in a number of concentrations: (18 0
Baume = 27.9%), (20 0 Baume = 31.4%), (22 0 Baume = 36.0%).
Solution 5: This is a lower pH cleaning solution (natural pH is between pH 4 and 6. No pH adjustment is

required) 1.0% (w) of Na2S2O4 (sodium hydrosulfite). It is useful in the removal of metal oxides and
hydroxides (especially iron fouling), and to a lesser extent calcium sulfate, barium sulfate and strontium
sulfate. Sodium hydrosulfite is strong reducing agent and is also known as sodium dithionite. The solution
will have a very strong odor so proper ventilation is required. Sodium hydrosulfite is available as a powder.

Solution 6: This is a high pH cleaning solution (target pH of 11.5) of 0.1% (w) of NaOH (sodium
hydroxide) and 0.03% (w) of SDS (sodium dodecylsulfate). It is useful in the removal of organic foulants of
natural origin, colloidal foulants of mixed organic/inorganic origin, and biological material (fungi, mold,
slimes and biofilm). SDS is a detergent that is an anionic surfactant that will cause some foaming. This is
considered to be a harsh cleaning regiment.
Solution 7: This is a high pH cleaning solution (target pH of 11.5) of 0.1% (w) of NaOH (sodium
hydroxide). It is useful in the removal of polymerized silica. This is considered to be a harsh cleaning
regiment.
Important: It is recommended that the MSDS of the cleaning chemicals be procured from
the chemical supplier and that all safety precautions be utilized in the handling and storage
of all chemicals.

shorten the useful life of the membrane due to hydrolysis. To optimize the useful life of a membrane, it is
recommended to use the least harshest cleaning solutions and minimize the contact time whenever
possible.

RO Cleaning Skid
The successful cleaning of an RO on-site requires a well designed RO cleaning skid. Normally this skid is
not hard piped to the RO skid and uses temporary hosing for connections. It is recommended to clean a
multi-stage RO one stage at a time to optimize cross-flow cleaning velocity. The source water for chemical
solution make-up and rinsing should be clean RO permeate or DI water and be free of hardness, transition
metals (e.g. iron), and chlorine. Components must be corrosion proof. Major cleaning system components
are:
RO Cleanup Skid
10-micron RO Stage
Clean-up Filter
RO Clean-up Pump
Tank
Concentrate
Permeate
• RO Cleaning Tank: This tank needs to be sized properly to accommodate the displacement of water in
the hose, piping, and RO elements. The table below denotes the amount of chemical solution that
needs to be made for a single RO element. The tank should be designed to allow 100 % drainage,
easy access for chemical introduction and mixing, a recirculation line from the RO Cleaning Pump,
proper venting, overflow, and a return line located near the bottom to minimize foam formation when
using a surfactant.
• RO Cleaning Pump: This pump needs to be sized to develop the proper cross-flow velocity to scrub
the membrane clean. The maximum recommended pressure is 60 psi (4 bar) at the inlet to the
pressure vessels to minimize the production of permeate during cleaning and reduce the convective
redeposition of foulant back on to the membrane surface. The table below denotes the flow rate
ranges for each pressure tube.
• RO Cleaning Cartridge Filter: Normally 5 to 10-micron and is designed to remove foulants that have
been displaced from the cleaning process.
• RO Tank Heater or Cooler: The maximum design temperature for cleaning is 1130 F (450 C). It should
be noted that heat is generated and imparted by the RO Cleaning Pump during recirculation.
• RO Tank Mixer: This is recommended to get optimal mixing of chemical, though some designers rely
solely on the slow introduction of chemical while maintaining a recirculation through the RO Cleaning
Pump back to the tank.
• Instrumentation: Cleaning system instrumentation should be included to monitor flow, temperature,
pressure, and tank level.
• Sample Points: Sample valves should be located to allow pH and TDS measurements off the RO
Cleaning Pump discharge and the concentrate side recirculation return line.
TSB107.15 Page 13
• Permeate Return Line: A small amount of the cleaning solution can permeate through the membranes
and so a permeate-side return line back to the RO Cleaning Tank is required.
Important: The permeate line and any permeate valves must always be open to atmospheric pressure
during the cleaning and flushing steps or damage to RO elements can occur. If the permeate line is
closed, the permeate pressure can build up and become higher than the feed-side pressure of the tail
elements. This can result in excessive permeate back-pressure which can damage the membrane
glue lines in the tail elements.
RO Membrane Element Cleaning and Flushing Procedures
The RO membrane elements can be cleaned in place in the pressure tubes by recirculating the cleaning
solution across the high-pressure side of the membrane at low pressure and relatively high flow. A
cleaning unit is needed to do this. RO cleaning procedures may vary dependent on the situation. The time
required to clean a stage can take from 4 to 8 hours.
A general procedure for cleaning the RO membrane elements is as follows:
1. Perform a low pressure flush at 60 psi (4 bar) or less of the pressure tubes by pumping clean
water from the cleaning tank (or equivalent source) through the pressure tubes to drain for
several minutes. Flush water should be clean water of RO permeate or DI quality and be
free of hardness, transition metals, and chlorine.
2. Mix a fresh batch of the selected cleaning solution in the cleaning tank. The dilution water
should be clean water of RO permeate or DI quality and be free of hardness, transition
metals, and chlorine. The temperature and pH should be adjusted to their target levels.
3. Circulate the cleaning solution through the pressure tubes for approximately one hour or the
desired period of time. At the start, send the displaced water to drain so you don’t dilute the
cleaning chemical and then divert up to 20% of the most highly fouled cleaning solution to
drain before returning the cleaning solution back to the RO Cleaning Tank. For the first 5
minutes, slowly throttle the flow rate to 1/3 of the maximum design flow rate. This is to
minimize the potential plugging of the feed path with a large amount of dislodged foulant.. For
the second 5 minutes, increase the flow rate to 2/3 of the maximum design flow rate, and
then increase the flow rate to the maximum design flow rate. If required, readjust the pH
back to the target when it changes more than 0.5 pH units.
4. An optional soak and recirculation sequence can be used, if required. The soak time can be
from 1 to 8 hours depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Caution should be
used to maintain the proper temperature and pH. Also note that this does increase the
chemical exposure time of the membrane.
5. Upon completion of the chemical cleaning steps, a low pressure Cleaning Rinse with clean
water (RO permeate or DI quality and free of hardness, transition metals, and chlorine) is
required to remove all traces of chemical from the Cleaning Skid and the RO Skid. Drain and
flush the cleaning tank; then completely refill the Cleaning Tank with clean water for the
TSB107.15 Page 14
Cleaning Rinse. Rinse the pressure tubes by pumping all of the rinse water from the
Cleaning Tank through the pressure tubes to drain. A second cleaning can be started at this
point, if required.
6. Once the RO system is fully rinsed of cleaning chemical with clean water from the Cleaning
Tank, a Final Low Pressure Clean-up Flush can be performed using pretreated feed water.
The permeate line should remain open to drain. Feed pressure should be less than 60 psi (4
bar). This final flush continues until the flush water flows clean and is free of any foam or
residues of cleaning agents. This usually takes 15 to 60 minutes. The operator can sample
the flush water going to the drain for detergent removal and lack of foaming by using a clear
flask and shaking it. A conductivity meter can be used to test for removal of cleaning
chemicals, such that the flush water to drain is within 10-20% of the feed water conductivity.
A pH meter can also be used to compare the flush water to drain to the feed pH.
7. Once all the stages of a train are cleaned, and the chemicals flushed out, the RO can be
restarted and placed into a Service Rinse. The RO permeate should be diverted to drain until
it meets the quality requirements of the process (e.g. conductivity, pH, etc.). It is not unusual
for it to take from a few hours to a few days for the RO permeate quality to stabilize,
especially after high pH cleanings.
