Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cleaning

The Membrane Care(SM) program from Siemens Water Technologies provides on-site or off-site membrane cleaning to extend the useful life of your RO membranes.

Siemens can provide on-site membrane cleaning services using the customer's clean-in-place (CIP) skid and standard cleaning procedures.  We provide the trained, on-site labor and/or supervisory personnel, along with the necessary cleaning chemicals.

The results of off-site cleaning are dramatically different from conventional on-site cleaning.  Our specially designed off-site membrane cleaning facilities provide better cleaning, extend membrane life and is more cost effective than on-site cleaning.  This off-site cleaning process is specifically designed to restore RO membranes to or near the original manufacturer's performance specifications.  Our proprietary equipment and strict cleaning process ensures optimum cleaning performance without affecting the structural integrity of the membrane, and therefore, does not void the manufacturer's warranty.

Siemens offers three levels of off-site cleaning service for 8" elements.  You choose the level of service that meets your needs and budget.

Features and Benefits

Benefits of choosing Off-site Membrane Cleaning:

  • Improves membrane reject and flow reducing post-RO polishing costs
  • Increases membrane life
  • Cost effective vs. replacement membranes
  • Reduces system downtime from days to hours (especially with rental elements from Siemens)
  • Discharge of cleaning chemicals is off-site, avoiding wastewater issues and storage/recordkeeping of chemicals on-site
  • Reduces water and power consumption
