The Reverse Osmosis (RO) process produces pure water by membrane filtration and is commonly used in industries served by Ciba, such as paper, food, steel, industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical, automotive and petrochemical.

Scaling and bio-fouling of the membrane can cause expensive downtime or costly repairs. We offer physical and chemical solutions to maintain high permeate flow without risk to the membrane.  Our range of Ciba® IRGATREAT® prevent scaling and bio-fouling and ensure continued efficient operation of RO units. The Ciba® IRGATREAT® product range consists of cost effective and membrane-friendly antiscalent, biocide as well as cleaning and dispersing products.

To support our customers we offer a complete problem-solving service in water purification. This service covers everything from consultancy and analysis of specific needs through to pilot studies and the supply of appropriate chemical and physical products.
