INDION 5010 Cleaner Technical Data Sheet
GENERAL

INDION 5010 Cleaner is intended for use in removing biofoulants from RO membranes. INDION 5010 Cleaner is also effective in removing silt, organics, metal sulfides and other particulate foulants.

DESCRlPTION AND TYPICAL PROPERTIES

INDION 5010 Cleaner is a proprietary blended product supplied as a fine powder and has the following properties:

Form/Appearance Very fine white powder wlth blue specs
Bulk Density (lb/ft3 ) 41 lb/ft3 (0.66 gm/cm3)
pH of a 0.4% Solution in Water 10

USE CONSIDERATIONS

We recommend using a 0.4% INDION 5010 Cleaner solution (1 lb product per 30 gal water or 1 kg per 250 L) for removing deposits from RO membranes. The required volume of cleaning solution and product quantity can be estimated using the mix rate above and Table 1. INDION 5010 Cleaner is suitable for cleaning most RO membranes although the pH should be adjusted on CA membranes.



PACKAGING

INDION 5010 Cleaner is supplied in 30 lb (13.6 kg) net plastic bags packaged inside cardboard boxes (12" x 12" x 9") with cardboard liners.

NOTE A : Estimate of the high total flow (HTF) or medium total flow (MTF), expressed in gpm, to the section to be
              treated when there are multiple pressure vessels in parallel:

HTF = #U x HF (or) MTF = #U x MF       Equation 1

Where

  •   #U is the number of vessels in parallel.
     
  •   HF or MF are the high flow or medium flow per vessel from Table 1 above

       

      for the appropriate RO/UF DIAMETER.



    NOTE B : Estimate of the cleaning solution volume (V) expressed in gallons:

    V = #M x VOL x 5                            Equation 2

    Where

  •   #M is the number of elements.

     
  •   VOL is the VOLUME of one element from Table 1 above for the  appropriate

       

      RO/UF DIAMETER.



    NOTE C : Estimate of the INDION Cleaner quantity (Q) required expressed in pounds:

    Q = V x MR x 8.34                           Equation 3

    Where

  •   V is the cleaning solution volume defined in Equation 2 above.

     
  •   MR is the cleaner mix ratio as defined on the front side of this bulletin.




    NOTE D : Estimate of flush time (t) expressed in minutes:

    t = (#EL x VOL)/HTF                           Equation 4

    Where

  •   #EL is the number of elements/permeators.

     
  •   VOL as defined in NOTE B above.

     
  •   HTF as defined in NOTE A above.
