SITUATION 

A leading Kenyan producer of high-quality Roses flower farm, with a total installed capacity of 100 m3/hr.  reverse osmosis Plant, experienced tremendous down time in operation of the RO Plant due to  

• Frequent Membrane CIP Cleaning  
• Reduced Membrane permeate flux.  
• High energy & Power Consumption due to long operating pumping hours of the plant to meet  water demand due to clogged, blocked, or fouled membranes.  

HYDROLINK – BIMAKS SOLUTION 

Hydrolink carried out an assessment of the feed water quality to determine the  

root cause of frequent deposition and took the data of their system and subjected it  

in a simulation Bimaks antiscalant software to determine the best antiscalant and  

dosage rates for this system.  

Hydrolink Proposed the use of MAKS 400P Reverse Osmosis antiscalant. Which the  

customer agreed to replace the previously used antiscalant from a different  

competitor’s Brand.

RESULTS 

• Reduced Frequency for CIP Membrane cleaning  
• Optimum permeate flux maintained constantly.  
• Reduced power consumption due to optimum flux achieved hence less hours of operation.   

ROI QUANTIFYING AND MONETIZING OUR VALUE 

• Massive savings from Membrane cleaning Chemicals and Power costs, and increased life span  of Membrane elements, since frequent membrane cleaning shortens life span of membranes.
