PURON® MBR Operation Overview
Flux Maintenance
• Solids and fouling material accumulate on the
membrane surface over time . A few techniques are
used to maintain long term high operating flux:
– Air scouring uses coarse air bubbles to help remove solids
from the membrane surface and solids trapped between the
fibers

Chemical Cleaning
Maintenance Cleans (MC)
Automated short cleans performed at a pre-set intervals to
maintain permeability.
• The MC cycle is a low flow, chemically enhanced
backflush, typically 30 minutes in duration
• Typical schedules and concentrations for municipal
applications:
– Sodium hypochlorite @ 125 mg/L is applied from 1/day to
1/week (municipal)

Chemical Cleaning
Recovery Cleans (RC)
Intensive cleans designed to remove all accumulated
fouling material and restore the membrane permeability to
nearly new membrane condition.
• The membrane tank is drained, flooded with chemical
solution, and allowed to soak for a period of 4-8 hours
• Typical schedules and concentrations for municipal
applications:
– Sodium hypochlorite @ 1,000-1,500 mg/L is applied every 6
months to annually
