IPC's Micro-90® Extends Life Of Filter Membranes For Wastewater Customer
The care and cleaning of filter membranes is essential to the success of any water treatment operation. International Products Corporation's Micro-90® is used to clean industrial filter membranes. One of IPC's customers treats industrial wastewater generated by the engine plant of a major automotive manufacturer. At this facility, up to 168,000 gallons of wastewater are treated per day using an ultra filtration membrane system. Their initial two-step process used caustic and acid materials. For the past six years, the company has used Micro-90® Concentrated Cleaning Solution. A 1% solution of Micro-90® not only removes the organics and metals that blind the membranes, it provides savings through reduced energy, reduced chemical use and less downtime. 100% recovery is achieved after every Micro-90® wash, and they have yet to replace any of their membranes after six years of operation.
Micro-90® is a mild, yet powerful, multipurpose, alkaline cleaning concentrate that has long been used in laboratories, industrial applications, and critical cleaning processes. Micro-90® is a unique chelating detergent that contains ionic and non-ionic ingredients, which combine to produce a variety of cleaning actions. Micro-90® lifts, disperses, emulsifies, sequesters, suspends, and decomposes soils, then rinses them away leaving the surface absolutely clean. Micro-90®'s target soils include oil, grease, wax, tar, flux, particulates, hard water stains, and biological debris. Micro-90® is highly effective at defouling filter membranes and can be validated in critical cleaning applications.
Other cleaners from International Products Corporation include: LF2100®, a liquid low-foam cleaner; Micro® A07, a citric acid cleaner; Surface Cleanse/930®, a concentrated neutral cleaner; Zymit®, a low-foam dual enzyme and detergent formula; and Zymit® Pro, a protease enzyme cleaner. These non-toxic products can be used in automotive plants to remove oil, grease and mineral deposits.
