membrane scaling is the precipitation of sparingly soluble salts on the membrane surface as a result of their concentration in the concentrate.

What does membrane scaling mean in practice?

Most often concerns calcium carbonate, sulfates, silica and other salts exceeding the saturation state.

When does it matter?

The risk increases with recovery, pH, temperature and concentration of ions forming the sludge.

Which solutions are related to it?

Softening or antiscalant, recovery and pH control, and cleaning adapted to the type of sludge are used.
