WE have a Westek in-line water cleaner, it is plastic, but i would prefer stainless. The cleaning agent is Aquanox SSA. One thing about in-line cleaners is that you have to keep watch every day over it and perform required maintenance. We have a Kyzen RO system. Any cleaning system requires removal of waste. Taking out rinse waste and disposing of it as it is is a volumous disposal. We have a Conceptronics batch cleaner attached to the RO concentrate stream to boil away the water. A water evaporator would also do the job. The batch cleaner evaporates 2 gallons of water per hour. Since the Aquanox has a much higher boiling point than water, none of it goes out the stack. The final rinse section uses DI water and is a circulating ion exchange system. When things are working right, the anion and cation tanks last a month before regeneration is needed. We monitor the conductivity and refractive index of the final rinse and RO tanks to keep purities of solutions high. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Moore [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 12:49 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] inline cleaner / RMA flux In a message dated 10/27/99 6:07:24 AM US Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: > Does anyone in the RMA world have recommendations for particular machines, > and/or cleaning additive?

Due to budget I'm looking for a used machine, Don't know what your budget is, but EMC makes a pretty good in-line cleaner for not too much $. As for chemistry, Aquasonic from JNJ Industries (www.jnj-industries.com) does a great job on RMA's, and can even go through DI beds without harm to the beds.
