2) At the end of the backflush of step 1, the backflush pump ramps down to about 50 LMH
and the dosing pump is started to dose the required chemicals into the back flush line.
EBF is normally performed with less than 50 ppm free chlorine for 30 to 90 seconds.
3) Once the chemicals are in the UF modules, the back flush pump is stopped and a soak
timer is started. The soak timer is typically set between 5 to 20 minutes.
4) When the soak timer has elapsed the chemicals are rinsed out of the UF rack and mem-
brane modules. The rinsing of the chemicals is carried out in the finishing step, whereby the
back flush pump is operated at the designated back flush flux rate, as per usual without
chemical dosing. Time duration must be adjusted during the plant start-up to ensure that all
chemicals are completely removed from the membrane modules and system.

6.2.3 Operation of CIP (Cleaning-in Place) Stage
When there is fouling and scaling that cannot be removed by hydraulic cleaning and EBF, a
CIP can be performed.
This may happen due to upsets in the water quality or due to difficult operating conditions such
as ineffective pre-treatment or incorrect chemical doses.
The major difference is that the CIP requires a CIP tank. Additionally; the time taken to perform
a CIP is typically much longer than for hydraulic cleaning or EBF.
The CIP is normally done only on the feed side and does not involve the permeate side of the
membrane module. This means that CIP is specific in targeting exterior of fibers, whereas EBF
in specific in cleaning fibers from inside-out. Thus, both procedures may complement each oth-
er well, depending on the nature of the anticipated fouling.
A CIP cycle is typically carried out once every few months. In certain feed water conditions the
CIP may be as frequent as on a weekly basis.
The following points are important and should be taken care of before performing the CIP.
1) The CIP should be performed if periodic hydraulic cleaning and EBF is unable to recover perfor-
mance adequately. The CIP should be considered effective if it recovers minimum 75% of the
membrane performance.
2) The chemicals to be used must be as per recommended in chapter 5.2.
3) The water used to prepare the CIP cleaning solution must be free of particles and have an al-
calinity <70mg/l (tap water or permeate may be used). This is especially valid for caustic and

high pH cleaning. Additionally, a high pH cleaning must be followed by flushing prior to an acid
cleaning.
4) Typical CIP time may take up to 12 hours but should not exceed this time.
5) The CIP solution must be fed only from the feed side of the membrane modules to prevent any
substances that can cause scaling or fouling ending up in the permeate side of the membrane
module during the recirculation.
6) Always isolate the UF rack undergoing CIP from other UF racks and/or other up and down
stream processes.
7) Replace the fine screen at the entrance of the UF system by a finer pre-screen of about 5 to
10 µm.
8) Prepare the CIP solution in a separate CIP tank and check the concentration by measuring the
pH value (or free chlorine if using NaOCl) to confirm sufficient chemical is added to the clean wa-
ter.
9) Please note that the ratio of the CIP cleaning tank to the entire volume inside the cleaned system
(amount modules, piping, CIP tank) needs to be considered for appropriate calculation of the CIP
cleaning solution. It may be required to adjust the pH and concentration after the total system is
mixed.
The following steps are carried out during CIP and must be monitored closely and done
manually:
1) The CIP tank must be filled first with water before the addition of any chemicals.
2) The chemicals must be properly mixed. After the mixing, it should be checked that the concentra-
tion of the solution is as per the targeted values. It is important that the solution concentration
does not exceed the maximum limits set according to APPENDIX - MICRODYN AQUADYN
®
UA860 data sheet.
3) To prevent a contamination, the feed tank and product/back flush tank must be isolated from the
system by closing the valves on the feed line and back flush line.
4) The chemical solution is drawn into the UF system if the individual rack is equipped with a feed
pump or pushed into the UF rack by a CIP pump as part of the CIP system. The process should
be monitored that the recirculated solution is passed through the entire system, always check the
concentration of the recirculated chemical solution is the same as that entering the system.
5) While the solution is recirculating and entering via the feed port of the membrane module, the air
scouring can be operated intermittently during soaking to enhance the cleaning effect.
6) The cleaning solution is recirculated and soaked for 30 to 180 min. As a standard you may start
with 60 min. However, the CIP strategy needs to be adjusted and optimised for each plant.
7) The water can then be flushed back to the CIP tank after this is done. Take samples of the return
water to check if there is still sufficient concentration of cleaning chemical in the CIP water. If the
water turns dirty, replace the chemical solution and repeat the cycle.
8) Once the cleaning is deemed effective, always drain and dispose of the chemicals safely. Then
clean the tank and top up again with clean water before rinsing the membrane modules.
9) Do a backflush of the membrane modules at 80 to 100 LMH for 30 to 180 s dependent on dirti-
ness of reject.

Shut Down
6.3
UF systems are typically designed to run continuously. If shut down is required and exceeds
more than one week a chemically enhanced back flush (EBF) is necessary:
1) Execute first a hydraulic cleaning cycle.
2) Perform a EBF with 100 ppm NaOCl as described in chapter 6.2.2
3) At shut down the water in the module is replaced with permeate or drinking water by back
flush to prevent bacterial growth.
4) After back flush, all valves on the UF rack are closed in order to isolate the UF rack.
5) Take note that at no point the fibers should be allowed to dry out as this would cause an ir-
recoverable deterioration of performance.
6) This cleaning procedure shall be repeated every week when modules are not operated in
filtration mode.
7) The module must be stored in an upright position and free of any oxidizing agents during
the system shutdowns.
Longer shut down times should be discussed with a MICRODYN-NADIR specialist and we rec-
ommend adding preservative solution.

Operating and Cleaning Logs
6.4
Operation and cleaning logs are important for tracking operating conditions and to optimize op-
erations. In Appendix - Operation and Cleaning Record Logs are three record forms for moni-
toring of cleaning. Failure to furnish this information when requested shall render the warranty
void.
The first is for the operation record form which is used to collect the data during normal filtration
and hydraulic cleaning. The second and third are the maintenance/cleaning record forms which
records the data during EBF and CIP.
The data should be recorded from the moment the modules are put into operation, the custom-
er is required to maintain complete and continuous documentations of the operating conditions
and the amount of time the plant is operated and cleaned.
Use of chemicals for feed water pre-treatment and EBF / CIP must be monitored closely. This
information should also be recorded.
The forms provide a guide to the required information for tracking the performance of the mem-
brane modules but should not be a limit of any additional information required.
Troubleshooting
6.5
In case of operational issues at some plants a general troubleshooting is recommended to vari-
fy that no common issues are the reason for this.
In general, please take recommendations according to the data sheet into account (Appendix
7.2). In addition, the proper function of plant especially of all pumps, valves, blowers and sen-
sors must be validated for instance by regular calibration.
Issue
Recommendation
Low effect of
chemical Clean-
ing
Bleach stock con-
centration
-
It is recommended to check the bleach stock concen-
tration due to its degradation once a month in colder
regions or weekly in warmer regions (tests available
i.e. from Hach Lange)
Delivery of chemi-
cal
-
Make sure that the required chemical is pumped into
the system (metering of pump, check volume removed
from stock tank)
Biofouling
-
Use bleach or hydrogen peroxide
Scaling
-
Use acids at low pH according to data sheet, mostly
pH of 2 is sufficient
-
Check the total alkalinity of the influent, at high alkalini-
ty (hard water) more frequent acid chemical cleanings
are required
Chemicals
-
Chemicals used should be approved for membrane
compatibility
Enhanced back-
flush (EBF)
-
Consider the volume of piping for the dosing time that
the chemical is entering the modules
-
Increase dosing time, soaking time, chemical concen-
tration or frequency between EBFs

Issue
Recommendation
CIP
-
Check the turbidity of the reject flow after CIP per-
formed. Increase flow and/or time of backflush if turbid-
ity is high
-
Increase recirculation time, soaking time, chemical
concentration, temperature or frequency between CIPs
-
Do cleaning in two steps and renew the chemical solu-
tion in between for removal of accumulated particles
-
Use a fine strainer bag during CIP recirculation to
prevent accumulation of particles during CIP
Performance
High Pressure
-
Note that the pressure is temperature-dependent (high
temperature low pressure)
-
Check inproper pre-treamtment
-
Check design for
-
Additional backpressure which increases
feed pressure.
-
Check for high pressure loss due to
inproper design of piping etc.
-
Make sure that no air is accumulated in the fibers by
venting
Effluent quality
-
Disinfect piping and all tanks
-
Measure turbidity or Silt Density Index (Please check
Troubleshooting Measuring Silt Density Index TSG-T-
010 for more information)
Inproper pretreat-
ment
-
Clean and improve pre-treatment
-
If additives are dosed, check the dosing rate and prop-
er function, overdosage must be avoided
Influent quality
-
Check the influent quality parameter in particular BOD,
COD, TSS, total alkalinity and make sure that no sub-
stances are entering the modules which may decrease
performance
-
At higher influent concentrations than designed, the
performance may be significantly less
Low effect of hy-
draulic cleaning
-
If effect of backflush is low, increase first the flow if
possible
-
If flow must be decreased due to high pressure, in-
crease the time to obtain the same volume than used
before
Malfunctions
Water hammer
-
In most cases the element needs to be replaced
-
Check all safety shutdown scenarios again if reason
for malfunction is unknown

2. Use proper PPE when handling the SMBS.
3. Use a clean and empty tank for the mixing.
4. Fill 50% of the required preservative solution volume into the mixing tank. Slowly add the
concentrated SMBS 35%. Fill the mixing tank up with water to the required volume as per
table 1. The preservative is now ready to use for cartridge preservation.
EXAMPLE: Preparation of 100L of preservative solution
a. Fill in 50L of water
b. Add in 9.3L of 35% Sodium Metabisulphite
c. Fill up to the 100L mark with water
d. Ready to use
5. Add 4L of the preservative solution to each MICRODYN AQUADYN
