Q » Why is chlorine never applied directly to polyamide RO membranes?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Chlorine is never applied directly to polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes because it can cause oxidative degradation of the membrane material. Polyamide membranes are sensitive to chlorine, and exposure can lead to irreversible damage, reducing the membrane's performance and lifespan. Therefore, chlorine must be carefully managed and removed from feed water, typically through dechlorination processes, before it reaches the membrane to ensure optimal functionality and longevity.
