M-100 Storing Procedures

M-100 safely and effectively prevents microbiological growth within membrane elements and systems during long- and short- term storage.

It replaces the use of formaldehyde, sodium metabisulfate and other chemicals that are typically used.

While formaldehyde or sodium bisulfite are either hazardous or unstable, M-100 is effective for long- term and does not create environmental or health risks. M-100 is compatible with all membrane types and rinses easily from membranes.

Microbiological growth within membrane elements and systems during storage

In Storage

1. Clean the membranes with AXEON C-10 or C-20 cleaners prior to storage. Using good quality water (RO product water), mix at a ratio of one pound M-100 to 6 gallons of water.

2. Recirculate storage solution at low pressure (less than 60 psig)

through membranes for minimum of 15 minutes.

3. After re-circulation, shut system down making sure storage

solution does not drain out of membranes.

4. After storage, rinse membranes with good quality water for 30

minutes before system start up.

A conductivity meter can conveniently monitor the completeness of rinsing to the background conductivity of the rinse water. M-100 is packaged as a dry, stable, non- reactive powder for ease of transportation and storage.

Container Storage

1. Clean membranes with AXEON C-10 or C-20 cleaners.

2. Using good quality water (RO product water), mix a ratio of

one pound M-100 to 6 gallons of water. Place membranes in storage container containing M-100 solution.

3. After storage, place membranes in system and rinse with good

qualitywater for 30 minutes prior to system star-up.

Long Term Storage with Glycol

1. Flush system with purified water

2. Mix 1 lb. of M-100 to 4 gallons of purified water

3. Add glycol 20% by weight to preservative solution

4. Use separate booster pump to flush through whole system (skip if no pump. Go to #5)

5. Remove end plugs of pressure vessels and pour preservative until vessel is fully flooded.

6. Re-install end plugs
