Innova Corporate (India) supplies Low pH Membrane Cleaner in Iran for acidic CIP of Persian Gulf SWRO desalination in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, Zagros mining process water, Bandar Abbas and Abadan refinery boiler feed, and central Iran groundwater RO in Isfahan and Yazd. Mineral scaling is a recurring challenge for Iranian RO plants — calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, iron oxide and metal hydroxide deposits build up on polyamide membranes, raising differential pressure and cutting permeate flow. This acidic cleaner dissolves these inorganic deposits during CIP without attacking the membrane surface.
Our low pH membrane cleaner in Iran is a fast-acting, concentrated formula designed to target and disperse mineral deposits such as carbonates and sulfates of Calcium, Barium, Strontium and Magnesium. Additionally, it is exceptionally effective at removing persistent iron scales and metal oxide deposits that are common in Iran water sources, significantly improving system performance. For high-salinity Persian Gulf SWRO and high-temperature refinery boiler feed, this formulation maintains cleaning effectiveness at 30–40°C.
Persian Gulf SWRO Desalination (Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Chabahar): Seawater RO systems use low pH cleaner for periodic CIP to remove carbonate and iron oxide scale and maintain consistent permeate quality.
Zagros Mining Operations: Mining process water in Zagros region contains high dissolved iron and manganese. Low pH cleaner removes these deposits and restores membrane performance.
Bandar Abbas & Abadan Refineries: Refinery boiler feed and cooling make-up RO systems use low pH cleaner to remove carbonate and sulfate scale from high-temperature feed water.
Karun River Agricultural RO (Khuzestan): Agricultural irrigation RO systems in Khuzestan use low pH cleaner to control carbonate scaling and improve water use efficiency.
Central Iran Groundwater RO (Isfahan, Yazd, Kerman): Deep borewell water contains high dissolved iron and hardness. Low pH cleaner removes scale and iron deposits.
Municipal Water (Shiraz, Kashan): Municipal RO plants use low pH cleaner to remove carbonate scale from community water supply systems.
| Parameter | Low pH Cleaner | High pH Cleaner |
|---|---|---|
| Target Foulant | Calcium carbonate, sulfate, iron oxide | Oil, grease, protein, silica, organics |
| pH Range | 2.0 – 4.0 (acidic) | 10.0 – 12.0 (alkaline) |
| Best For in Iran | Persian Gulf SWRO, Zagros mining, refinery | Food processing, pharma, textile effluent |
| CIP Dosage | 1–3% v/v | 2–5% v/v |
Cleaning Protocol: For best results in Iran water treatment plants, dilute with DM or RO permeate water to prepare a 2–5% v/v solution. This working solution should be recirculated through the membranes for 2–4 hours, including a 30–60 minute soaking period. For heavy iron oxide fouling in Zagros mining RO, extend soak to 4 hours. After cleaning, flush the system thoroughly with permeate water until the pH level is balanced at both the feed and reject ends.
Calcium Carbonate Scaling: Most common in high-recovery Persian Gulf SWRO and central Iran groundwater RO. Low pH cleaner dissolves this scale effectively during CIP.
Iron & Manganese Oxide Fouling: Common in Zagros mining and central Iran borewell water. Low pH cleaner chelates these metals and removes red-brown staining.
Calcium Sulfate Scaling: Occurs in high-sulfate feed water at Mahshahr and Assaluyeh petrochemical plants. Requires low pH cleaning with extended soak.
Metal Hydroxide Deposits: Aluminium and iron hydroxide flocs from pre-treatment carryover in Bandar Abbas SWRO. Low pH cleaner dissolves these deposits.
Karun River Silt & Carbonate: Khuzestan agricultural RO faces silt and carbonate scaling from Karun River water. Low pH cleaner with dispersing agent handles both.

Q: What does low pH membrane cleaner remove in Iran RO systems?
A: It removes inorganic scale such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, iron oxide and metal hydroxide deposits during CIP.
Q: Which Iran industries use low pH membrane cleaner the most?
A: Persian Gulf SWRO desalination plants in Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Chabahar, Zagros mining operations, Bandar Abbas and Abadan refineries, and central Iran groundwater RO plants in Isfahan and Yazd.
Q: Why do Iran Persian Gulf SWRO plants need acidic cleaning?
A: Persian Gulf seawater has high salinity and hardness. Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Chabahar SWRO plants run at high recovery rates where calcium carbonate and iron oxide scale deposit rapidly.
Q: Is low pH membrane cleaner safe for polyamide and TFC membranes?
A: Yes, when used at recommended pH, temperature and contact time. Always check the membrane manufacturer's cleaning guidelines before use.
Q: What is the correct CIP dosage of low pH membrane cleaner for Iran plants?
A: Typical CIP dosage is 1–3% v/v in RO permeate water, with a contact time of 30–60 minutes circulation and 1–2 hours soak. For heavy iron oxide fouling in Zagros mining RO, extend soak to 4 hours.
Q: Do you supply low pH membrane cleaner across Iran industrial cities?
A: Yes, we supply to SWRO, mining, refinery, agricultural and industrial RO plants across Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Mahshahr, Assaluyeh, Abadan, Chabahar, Zagros region, Isfahan and Yazd.
Storage & Handling: Store in original, hermetically sealed containers in a cool, dry area in Iran, away from direct sunlight and heat. As an acidic product, wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and apron during handling.
