RO Membrane Cleaner Oman Muscat (Acidic – Low pH) – 25 kg Drum | UV Water Systems Oman

Inorganic scale deposits — calcium carbonate, iron oxide, manganese dioxide — are among the most common causes of RO membrane performance loss in Oman’s water treatment plants. When feed water TDS is high and pre-treatment chemicals are under-dosed, mineral layers build up on the membrane surface and within the feed spacers, causing sharp drops in permeate flow and rising differential pressure. The acidic low-pH membrane cleaner supplied by UV Water Systems in Muscat is a buffered blend of citric acid, hydrochloric acid derivatives, and chelating agents formulated specifically for clean-in-place (CIP) removal of inorganic foulants from polyamide TFC RO membranes.

How Acidic CIP Cleaning Works

The low-pH formulation dissolves calcium carbonate and calcium sulphate scale by converting insoluble mineral salts to their soluble forms. Chelating agents in the blend complex iron and manganese ions, preventing re-deposition during the cleaning cycle. The solution is circulated through the membrane elements at controlled temperature (typically 30–35°C) and low pressure for 30–60 minutes, then flushed with product water before returning to service. UV Water Systems technicians conduct CIP cleaning for commercial and industrial clients across Muscat and Oman.

Key Features and Benefits of RO Membrane Cleaner Oman Muscat

Targets inorganic scale: Dissolves calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, iron oxide and manganese deposits that block feed channels and reduce permeate output.
Membrane-compatible pH: Buffered formulation keeps cleaning pH in a range safe for polyamide membranes — no fibre degradation or flux loss from over-acidification.
Chelated iron removal: Contains EDTA-type chelants that complex iron and prevent it from re-precipitating on the membrane during flushing.
Rapid flux recovery: Most RO systems recover 85–100% of original normalised flux within one to two CIP cycles when scale is the primary foulant.
Compatible with all standard CIP skids: Works with recirculation pumps, heat exchangers, and CIP control systems from all major manufacturers.

Applications of RO Membrane Cleaner Oman Muscat

Acidic CIP cleaning is standard practice at Oman’s industrial RO plants — hospitals, food and beverage facilities, hotels, and oil and gas camps — where feed water hardness and iron content are elevated. UV Water Systems provides acidic CIP chemicals and on-site cleaning services for commercial and industrial membrane systems across the Sultanate. We also supply chemical alongside equipment for clients who carry out cleaning in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my RO membranes? When normalised permeate flow drops more than 10–15% or differential pressure rises by the same amount from baseline values. In Oman’s hard water conditions, some industrial systems require CIP every 3–6 months without adequate antiscalant dosing.

Do I need both acidic and alkaline cleaners? Most membrane fouling is a combination of inorganic scale and organic/biological matter. UV Water Systems recommends sequential cleaning — alkaline first to remove organics, then acidic to remove mineral scale — for best flux recovery results.
