Clean in Place (CIP, cleaning) is an integral part of maintaining reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) systems. Over time, organic and inorganic foulants present in the feed water will build up on the membranes surface. These foulants reduce the systems efficiency and can lead to mechanical damage of the membrane surface. Normalizing operat...

Nowadays, numerous sensors are installed at membrane facilities that collect a considerable amount of data each hour. Analyzing these data brings tremendous opportunity for the operators to better operate the system for tasks such as membrane cleaning or optimize chemical dosing. Currently, many facilities still perform manual data collection and r...
