Chlorine chemistry varies dramatically across Indore's industrial water sources, and managing it properly is what separates a plant that runs for years without membrane replacement from one that replaces membranes every 18 months. The Narmada river supply, which feeds a majority of the city's larger plants, is chlorinated at the source by municipal authorities to control biological growth during transmission. By the time it reaches industrial estates in Pithampur, Sanwer, Rau and Dewas, the residual chlorine has usually dropped somewhat — but not consistently, and not predictably. Borewell water drawn on-site often has no chlorine at all, while municipal supply feeding smaller units in the city can arrive with 1-2 ppm free chlorine. A plant that switches between these sources — as many do through the year — faces a shifting dechlorination requirement that demands a flexible, reliable formulation. Innova Corporate (India) supplies its RO Dechlorination Chemicals in Indore specifically for this variability.
Chlorine damage to RO membranes is different from other forms of fouling. It does not show up as scale or deposit — it chemically degrades the polyamide active layer, permanently reducing salt rejection and permeate quality. The damage is progressive: a membrane that sees even 0.1 ppm free chlorine for weeks will show falling rejection long before visible symptoms appear. Once oxidation has occurred, no cleaning chemical can reverse it — the only remedy is membrane replacement. This is why dechlorination is often described as the cheapest form of membrane insurance. For pharma manufacturers around Pithampur and Dewas, where product quality depends on consistent purified water, the cost of a membrane failure is not just the replacement — it is batch rejection, regulatory investigation and reputational damage. For textile and food processing units, the impact is operational: sudden drops in permeate quality disrupt downstream processes and force unplanned shutdowns.
The dosage depends on the residual chlorine levels and contact time. Typically, the dosage ranges from 3 ppm to 15 ppm for Indore water conditions.
Always wear proper safety gear, including splash goggles, lab coats, gloves, and vapor respirators. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with water. Store in original containers in a cool, dry place at your Indore facility, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Recommended storage temperature is between 5°C to 40°C. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Refer to the MSDS for comprehensive safety data.
