LibertyCES has documented RO/UF/EDI System in Caustics/Bases service, including Sodium Hydroxide. Wetted materials to confirm: Stainless steel/FRP CIP skid. Documented models include AXEON CIP-Series. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.
Notes from the vendor documentation
Organic fouling maps to alkaline/NaOH cleaning per AXEON's CIP reference table.

Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| CIP foulant-to-cleaner table (organic fouling) | Organic fouling calls for alkaline cleaners such as sodium hydroxide per AXEON's CIP-Series reference table | AXEON Water Technologies — Reverse Osmosis / Membrane Systems |
| CIP-Series construction | Stainless steel frame with integrated heating element for cleaning-solution temperature control and level switches to prevent pump dry-running | AXEON Water Technologies — Reverse Osmosis / Membrane Systems |
| Cleaning trigger thresholds | 10-15% permeate flow decrease, 10-15% salt passage increase, or 15-20% pressure drop increase across membrane elements | AXEON Water Technologies — Reverse Osmosis / Membrane Systems |
CIP-Series skids include level switches specifically to prevent dry-running the cleaning-solution pump during an alkaline (NaOH) wash cycle.
Matching cleaner chemistry to foulant type is the whole game in CIP: organic fouling needs an alkaline wash like sodium hydroxide, and dosing an acid cleaner against organic fouling — or vice versa — leaves the foulant in place while burning a cleaning cycle and chemical inventory for nothing.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
