What are the factors that cause the conductivity of the effluent from reverse osmosis equipment to increase?

Released Date: Nov 12,2015 Article Source: Yuanlai Water Treatment
After the reverse osmosis equipment has been in operation for a certain period of time, the conductivity of the effluent water will increase. Even if the reverse osmosis membrane has just been replaced, the conductivity of the effluent water is still relatively high. Even in the case of two-stage reverse osmosis, the conductivity of the second stage is higher than that of the first stage. What are the reasons for this? Now let's talk about the factors that can cause the conductivity of the effluent from reverse osmosis equipment to increase. The service life of reverse osmosis equipment is long. As the service life of the membrane elements extends, the salt permeability increases. Generally speaking, a high conductivity means that the entire water treatment system has not changed compared to the initial state. The reason for the high conductivity at this time is the aging of the reverse osmosis membrane module, which leads to a decrease in the desalination rate. The correct handling method is to replace the reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis main unit. 2. When the connecting parts leak, the electrical conductivity of the equipment suddenly rises during normal operation, and the drainage volume increases. This situation is due to the leakage of the sealing ring connecting the reverse osmosis membrane module

Reverse osmosisAfter the equipment has been running for a certain period of time,The conductivity of the effluent will increaseEven ifThe conductivity of the effluent from the reverse osmosis membrane that has just been replacedIt's also biased.highVery muchWhen discharging water from two-stage reverse osmosis,The secondary conductivity is even higher than the primary conductivity,What are the reasons for these?Now let's talk about the factors that can cause the conductivity of the effluent from reverse osmosis equipment to increase.

1,Reverse osmosisEquipmentLong operating life

With the extension of the operating life of the membrane element,The salt permeability increases,Under normal circumstances,High electrical conductivity refers to the entire water treatment system compared to its initial state,There has been no change The reason for the high conductivity at this time is the aging of the reverse osmosis membrane module, which leads to a decrease in the desalination rate,The correct handling method is to replace the reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis main unit.

2The connecting parts are leaking

The electrical conductivity of the equipment suddenly increased while it was operating normally,The displacement has increased. This situation is caused by the leakage of the connection sealing ring of the reverse osmosis membrane module, resulting in a sharp increase in conductivity,It is recommended to replace the sealing ring. The specific method is to test the water quality of each membrane module,Locate the leaking part and replace it.

3The performance of the membrane element has declined

Membrane element scratches, membrane oxidation, chemical cleaning damage, etc. The water output of the equipment remained unchanged after running for a period of time,The electrical conductivity increases,The displacement has increased. It indicates that the film is degraded by oxidizing media,The electrical conductivity increases,The membrane module needs to be replaced.

4There is a large amount of gas dissolved in the water

When the equipment is turned on, the secondary conductance rises and is difficult to decrease or takes too long to decrease,This situation is generally common in two-stage reverse osmosis,Between the first and second levels, sodium hydroxide is generally added to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the water,The addition amount of sodium hydroxide is related to the electrical conductivity,It is recommended to adjust the addition amount.

5The water conductivity of the incoming water increases

The increase in the conductivity of the influent water directly leads to the increase in the conductivity of the produced water,Or the conductivity meter may be damaged due to errors, etcIt should be inspected.

6.Scaling pollution

Excessively high recovery rate, deteriorating water quality, poor quality of scale inhibitors, and unreliable addition of scale inhibitors, etc.

7.The temperature rises

As the temperature rises, the salt permeability increasesThis is an easily overlooked factor that causes the conductivity of the effluent from reverse osmosis equipment to increase.

8.Organic pollution

Pollution, colloid pollution, insolubleNOMPollution, organic pollution, etc.

9.pHAbnormal value

pHExcessively high or low values will seriously affect the desalination rate of membrane elements.

10.Extremely high pressure

Ultra-high pressure operation increases the salt permeabilityThe operating pressure should be adjusted appropriately.

EDI ultra-pure water system

EDI ultra-pure water system

Yuan LaiEDIThe ultra-pure water equipment uses electro-deionization technology.EDIElectrodeionization is a water purification method that combines the dual advantages of electrodialysis and ion exchange. It does not require acid-base chemical regeneration and can continuously and stably prepare high-purity ultrapure water. Under the action of a direct current electric field, ion separation in water is completed. At the same time, water is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, achieving automatic regeneration of the resin without the need to stop the machine for manual regeneration. The pre-treatment combined with reverse osmosis can prevent oxidized substances from damaging the resin, ensuring stable effluent quality and widely meeting the high-standard water usage requirements of various industries.

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

The non-negative pressure water supply equipment can be directly connected to the municipal water supply network, making full use of the residual pressure of the original network for superimposed water supply. Fully enclosed operation does not require the construction of a domestic water tank, eliminating secondary pollution. Intelligent variable frequency voltage stabilization, energy-saving, quiet and easy installation, it is the preferred equipment for secondary water supply in high-rise residential buildings and commercial buildings.

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment is widely used in central air conditioning, floor heating, industrial closed-loop water circulation, and boiler systems. It integrates automatic pressure stabilization, automatic water replenishment, automatic exhaust, pressure relief and buffering functions. It stabilizes the pressure in the pipeline network, eliminates abnormal sounds caused by air blockage, and prevents damage from negative pressure and water shortage in the pipeline. It is an essential supporting equipment for HVAC and circulating water systems.
