About Reverse Osmosis and Nano-Filteration Membrane Scale and Fouling Cleaners
OLKLIN-DRO is a low/high pH liquid cleaner designed to remove metal foulants such as iron, manganese, and aluminum as well as calcium carbonate scale deposits from thin film composite membranes. OLKLIN-DRO is buffered to prevent the pH limits of a membrane being exceeded in the event of misapplication.
OLKLIN-DRO offers a variety of performance benefits:
- Compatible with the major membrane suppliers
- Superior results in the removal of metal foulants such as iron manganese & aluminum,
- especially when compared to generic formulations
- Contains a specialised blend of buffers, low foaming surfactants, chelates and other components to dissolve metal deposits
- Highly buffered to resist pH changes during the cleaning process
- Can be used in conjunction with other applicable cleaners
