Storage

  • New membrane modules can be stored as supplied.
  • Store in a dry, normally ventilated place, away from heat sources, ignition, and direct sunlight.
  • Storage temperature: between 0 and 40 °C.
  • Do not subject to freezing temperatures.
  • After use, UF membranes must be stored wet at all times.
  • For short-term shutdowns, daily flush with permeate quality water containing up to 2.0 ppm free available chlorine for 30 to 60 minutes may be adequate.
  • For long-term storage, membranes should be cleaned before disinfection. A 1% sodium metabisulfite solution can be used for disinfection.
  • In either situation, modules should be stored hydraulically filled.
