The CIP product line

Different deposits.
Targeted chemistry.

From organic buildup to mineral scale, membrane fouling takes many forms. Norchem’s four specialized cleaners address distinct cleaning needs in industrial water treatment and wastewater recovery.

Organic fouling & biofilm

01 /

Ceramax

Break down persistent organic buildup.

Hydrogen peroxide-based oxidizing chemistry targets organic deposits, biofilm and residual contaminants that restrict membrane permeability.

  • Helps restore membrane performance
  • Supports preventive maintenance and recovery cleaning

Oils, grease & detergent residue

02 /

Alkamax

Cut through soils that slow your system.

Alkaline cleaning chemistry breaks down and disperses organic soils, oils, grease and detergent-related deposits in membrane filtration systems.

  • Targets detergent and surfactant residues
  • Helps recover permeability and permeate flow

Mineral scale & inorganic deposits

03 /

Ultramax

Remove scale. Recover productivity.

Acid-based cleaning chemistry dissolves mineral buildup, including calcium-based scale and certain iron and metal deposits that reduce filtration efficiency.

  • Targets inorganic fouling
  • Helps maintain consistent membrane operation

Lint, textile fibers & organic deposits

04 /

Flowmax

Take on textile-related membrane fouling.

Sodium hypochlorite-based oxidizing chemistry breaks down accumulated lint, textile fibers and organic material in compatible industrial laundry wastewater recycling systems.

  • Targets stubborn fiber-related deposits
  • Helps restore filtration capacity and permeate flow

A system-specific approach

Better cleaning starts with the right match.

Build a CIP program around your fouling conditions, membrane materials and operating requirements.

Product selection and use must follow membrane manufacturer compatibility requirements and applicable product instructions.

  1. 01

    Understand the deposits

    Identify whether organic buildup, oils, mineral scale or textile residues are affecting performance.

  2. 02

    Match the chemistry

    Discuss your application with Norchem to select a cleaning solution compatible with your membranes and system.

  3. 03

    Support ongoing performance

    Incorporate targeted cleaning procedures during routine maintenance to boost system flows.

Your challenge. Our chemistry.

Give your membranes
a clearer path to performance.
