MEMBRANE PRESERVATION CHEMICALS

JurbySoft® products for membrane preservation disinfect and sterilise membranes and maintain their properties during long-term shutdowns or transportation. Jurby WaterTech International’s JurbySoft® products can be used in sub-zero temperatures. If the product freezes, soft crystals form, but these do not cause mechanical damage to membranes.

Advantages of JurbySoft® products for membrane preservation:

  • suitable for all types of membrane;
  • approved for use in systems that produce potable water;
  • act as effective and stable disinfectants and preservatives;
