Q » What is silica scaling and why is it difficult to remove from membranes?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Silica scaling occurs when dissolved silica precipitates and accumulates on membrane surfaces in water purification systems, leading to reduced efficiency. It is difficult to remove because silica forms a dense, glass-like layer that is chemically inert and resistant to conventional cleaning methods. Specialized cleaning agents or mechanical means are often required to effectively address silica scaling issues, making it a persistent challenge in membrane maintenance.
