Siemens' Membrane Care Program^SM provides the recommended services to help keep your reverse osmosis (RO) system operating at peak performance.  As part of our service program, we offer complete laboratory analytical services - from membrane autopsies to various destructive and non-destructive tests.  Membrane analysis assists in identifying the fouling agent(s), proper cleaning techniques and proper pretreatment methods to prevent reccuring fouling.

● Identifies fouling agents
● Identifies proper cleaning techniques
● Identifies proper pretreatment methods
● Prevents reoccurring fouling

Non-Destructive Tests:
● External visual exam
● Bubble test- test physical integrity of the membrane envelope
● Membrane performance - flux, pressure and percent reject
● Analysis of cleaning solution

Destructive Tests:
● Internal visual exam
● Coupon testing of membrane surface
● Dye testing
● Metals analyses
● Digestion -ICP
● SEM EDX

Organic Analyses:
● FTIR Spectroscopy
● HPLC-FTIR and /or UV Spectroscopy
● Organic vs.. inorganic foulants
