IPC's Micro-90 Successful in cleaning Filter Membranes

At this facility, up to 168,000 gallons of wastewater are treated per day using an ultra filtration membrane system. Their initial two-step process used caustic and acid materials. For the past 9 years, the company has used Micro-90 Concentrated Cleaning Solution. A 1% solution of Micro-90 not only removes the organics and metals that blind the membranes, it provides savings through reduced energy, reduced chemical use and less downtime. 100% recovery is achieved after every Micro-90 wash, and they have yet to replace any of their membranes after 9 years of operation.

Micro-90 is a mild, yet powerful, multipurpose, alkaline cleaning concentrate that has long been used in laboratories, industrial applications, and critical cleaning processes. Micro-90 is a unique chelating detergent that contains ionic and non-ionic ingredients, which combine to produce a variety of cleaning actions. Micro-90 lifts, disperses, emulsifies, sequesters, suspends, and decomposes soils, then rinses them away leaving the surface absolutely clean. Micro-90's target soils include oil, grease, wax, tar, flux, particulates, hard water stains, and biological debris. Micro-90 is highly effective at defouling filter membranes and can be validated in critical cleaning applications.
