Summary

Product identification

AWC® A-108 is a membrane antiscalant for extreme conditions.

Advantages

  • Premium broad spectrum antiscalant designed to inhibit inorganic scale formation in membrane separation processes.
  • Inhibits calcium carbonate scale up to a Calcium Carbonate Nucleation Index (CCNI) of 2.3.
  • Maintains good scale inhibition even in the presence of moderate levels of iron.
  • Controls calcium sulfate, barium sulfate and strontium sulfate scales in waters with an extremely high scaling potential. Exhibits control of silicate and phosphate scales at moderate to high levels.
  • Effectively stabilizes metal ions and disperses metal oxides and other inorganic particulates such as silt and clay.
  • Environmentally compatible, especially where discharge of waste into the environment is a concern.
  • Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 60.

Typical Properties

  • Appearance: Colorless to light yellow liquid
  • Odor: Characteristic
  • Solubility in water: Complete
  • pH (as is) @ 25˚C: < 2.0
  • Specific Gravity: 1.25 ± 0.05

Chemical Feeding and Control

  • Normally fed continuously prior to the final cartridge filter.
  • Should be injected by chemical dosing pump from a dilution tank or directly from the drum to the feedwater line.
  • The amount required to inhibit scale formation depends on the quality of feedwater and size of the membrane system.
  • An AWC technical representative will provide specific control range and approximate dosage rate for the system.

Packaging

  • 5 gallon pails
  • 55 gallon non-returnable plastic drums
  • 275 gallon totes
  • Bulk shipments

Safety & Handling

  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Handle with care and avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
  • For more information, see the Safety Data Sheet provided with this product.
