There can be many reasons why a membrane system suffers a loss in performance, and is unable to produce the proper quantity and/or quality of permeate water. Similar to a doctor attempting to make a diagnosis, Aquatis identify as many symptoms as possible to find what the disease is before treating the problem. Some example of membrane troubleshooting encountered by Aquatis are presented below :
Severe Membrane biofouling observed at the membrane surface of a Reverse Osmosis module
Observation of biofouling within the spacers of a Reverse Osmosis Membrane.
Scaling on the spacers of a Reverse Osmosis Membrane
Microscopic observation of Calcium Carbonate precipitate at the membrane surface
Microscopic Observation of BaSO4 precipitate at the membrane surface
Delamination of Reverse osmosis Membrane due to backpressure
