membrane surface can be destroyed which leads to a foaming issue. This sludge

damage will be recovered in the course of time after operation restart and thus not a

big trouble.

Immediately stop the chemical cleaning operation if any of the
associated cleaning equipment appears to be malfunctioning.

Never mix sodium hypochlorite with oxalic acid or citric acid. Such
mixture generates toxic chlorine gas.

Do  not  inject  any  chemical  into  the  membrane  directly  from  the
chemical  pump  discharge.  Excessive  membrane  element  internal
pressure will damage the element Be sure to inject chemicals at a
pressure less than 10 kPa (100 mbar).

Before starting injecting chemical to elements, confirm that the
membrane tank liquid level is more than 500 mm above the top of
the module.

To avoid scattering of chemical solution turn off the air scour during
a chemical cleaning.
