RO Alkaline Cleaner F-261 – Advanced Alkaline Cleaning Solution for Reverse Osmosis Membranes

The efficiency and reliability of a reverse osmosis (RO) system depend heavily on proper maintenance and periodic cleaning. Over time, organic compounds, biofilms, and oils accumulate on the membrane surface, reducing water flux and system efficiency. RO Alkaline Cleaner F-261 is a specially designed alkaline detergent developed to tackle these challenges with superior cleaning power and safe compatibility across all major RO membrane types.

Powerful Cleaning for Lasting Performance

RO Alkaline Cleaner F-261 effectively removes organic fouling, oily residues, and biological deposits such as algae and microorganisms that commonly form on the surface of RO, NF, and UF membranes. Its high-alkaline formulation penetrates stubborn contaminants, breaking them down for easy removal and restoring the membrane’s original performance. When used regularly, it helps maintain optimal permeate flow rates, reduces operational downtime, and extends membrane lifespan—resulting in lower maintenance costs and enhanced productivity.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Universal Compatibility:
   Suitable for aromatic polyamide and cellulose acetate membranes from all major manufacturers.
2. Superior Cleaning Performance:
   Efficiently removes oil, bio-mucosa, and organic substances, restoring flux and system performance.
3. Thermally Enhanced Action:
   Cleaning performance improves as solution temperature rises, making it ideal for high-efficiency maintenance routines.
4. Safe and Stable Formula:
   Low-foaming, easy to mix, and can be reused multiple times without loss of performance.
5. Balanced Alkalinity:
   Diluted solution maintains a stable pH of 10.5 ± 0.5, ensuring effective organic removal without damaging the membrane.
6. Convenient Application:
   Supplied as a liquid chemical—easy to handle, dissolve, and circulate through cleaning systems.
7. Excellent System Compatibility:
   Works effectively in RO, NF, and UF systems, regardless of source water composition.

Usage Guidelines

To achieve the best cleaning results:

1. Preparation:
   Inspect the water box, pipelines, and filters. Replace or clean filter materials if necessary.
2. System Setup:
   Fill the cleaning tank with RO permeate water.
3. Solution Preparation:
   Add the appropriate quantity of RO Alkaline Cleaner F-261 to achieve a 1–3% dilution (1:45 ratio). Mix thoroughly and measure pH to confirm it’s within the optimal range.
4. Cleaning Cycle:
   Circulate the cleaning solution through the RO system for 5–20 minutes, monitoring the pH periodically.
5. Adjust and Repeat:
   If the pH rises during cleaning, add more F-261 or acid as needed. For severe fouling, discard the first batch of detergent and repeat with a new solution.
6. Temperature Control:
   Maintain the recommended temperature range; do not exceed the maximum limit specified by the membrane manufacturer.
7. Post-Cleaning:
   Thoroughly flush the system with permeate water to remove all cleaning residues before restarting normal operation.
