AvistaClean MF 3000

Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for AvistaClean MF 3000. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.

Summary

Product identification

AvistaClean® MF 3000 is a low pH, proprietary powder cleaner for microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems. It is designed to remove calcium carbonate and metal foulants.

Operating limits

  • Maximum cleaning temperature: 104°F (40°C), as allowed by the MF/UF module manufacturer.

Feed water

  • Cleaning should be performed using reverse osmosis (RO) permeate, deionized water, or softened water.
  • Do not dissolve cleaners in hard water.

Product water

  • Not applicable to this product.

Product Information

Specifications

  • Appearance: White powder
  • pH (2% solution): 2.8-3.5

Performance Benefits

  • Effective for removing calcium carbonate and metals.
  • Highly buffered to resist pH changes during cleaning.
  • Designed specifically for MF and UF membrane systems.
  • Suitable for use with other AvistaClean MF formulations.

Packaging and Storage

  • Available regional pack sizes: 45 lb (Americas/Asia), 90 lb (Americas/Asia), 350 lb (Americas/Asia); 20 kg (EMEA).
  • Information on drumless or bulk tanker delivery is available on request.

Instructions for Use

Cleaning Procedure

  1. Fill cleaning tank with RO permeate, deionized water, or softened water. Water volume should generally equal the total system volume, including hoses and cartridge filters.
  2. Heat water to the maximum temperature allowed by the MF/UF module manufacturer (usually 104°F / 40°C).
  3. Add AvistaClean MF 3000 to the hot water and dissolve thoroughly via recirculation or mechanical mixer.
    • For moderate to severe fouling: create a 2% wt/wt solution.
    • For mild fouling: create a 1% wt/wt solution.
  4. Recirculate the cleaner through the modules in the feed direction for 30 minutes (tubular designs only).
  5. Reverse flow direction and recirculate from exit to feed for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. For systems with back flush design, back flush with cleaning solution in the filtrate-to-feed direction for 15 minutes, in addition to the recommended procedure.
  7. Flush the system with soft water or suitable MF/UF filtrate.
