Preservation procedures for RO elements
The objective is to store elements under clean conditions to maintain performance
and to prevent bacteria growth.
After system shut-down, displace brine in the system
with flushing water.
General conditions for preservation:
Flushing water: Use Pre-treated feed water (see Table 260-1),
or RO product water.
Water for the flushing should not contain any
oxidants
Flushing water pH range should be maintained
between 3-8.5.

Brackish water Pre-treated feed water

high pH feed water)

water without NaOH
If potential for scaling and fouling exists,
membranes must be flushed on shutdown
according to TMM-250 Flushing procedures.
1) To maintain performance, elements must be wet at all times.
2) To prevent bacterial growth in the pressure vessels, sanitization procedures
may be required - see TMM-400: Sanitization Methods
