    FILMTEC Membranes
    Handling, Preservation and Storage: Used FILMTEC Elements

    Re-wetting of Elements that have dried out after use may irreversibly lose water permeability. Re-wetting
    Dried Out might be successful with one of the following methods:
    Elements • Soak in 50/50% ethanol/water or propanol/water for 15 min.
    • Pressurize the element at 150 psi (10 bar) and close the permeate port for 30 min.
    Take care that the permeate port is reopened before the feed pressure is released.
    This procedure can be carried out while the elements are installed in a system. In this
    case, the pressure drop from the feed side to the concentrate side must not exceed 10
    psi (0.7 bar) during high pressure operation with closed permeate port – otherwise the
    permeate backpressure near the concentrate end will become too high. Preferably, the
    permeate port is not completely closed but throttled to a value equal the concentrate
    pressure. Then there is no need for a special pressure drop limit.
    • Soak the element in 1% HCl or 4% HNO3 for 1–100 h. Immerse the element in a
    vertical position to allow the entrapped air to escape.
