Summary
Product identification
- Product Name: AWC® C-232
- Description: Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cleaning Compound
- Certification: Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 60
Advantages
- Concentrated liquid formulation designed for use as a low pH cleaner of polyamide thin film composite membrane surfaces
- Designed for removal of tough organic scales such as calcium phosphonate, calcium polyacrylate, and calcium citrate
- Removes inorganic carbonate, phosphate, and hydroxide scales
- Effective even in cases of severe scaling - complete removal of scale reduces cleaning frequency
Typical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless to light yellow liquid
- Odor: Characteristic
- Solubility in water: Complete
- pH (as is) @ 25˚C: < 1
- Specific Gravity: 1.35 ± 0.05
Chemical Feeding and Control
- The cleaning solution should be prepared using potable water that is free of residual chlorine or other oxidizing agents.
- Add 2 gallons of AWC C-232 to every 100 gallons of water (2% solution).
- Adjust the pH in the range 2–3.
- Recirculate the cleaning solution throughout the system, after redirecting the first 20% of the solution to drain.
- Do not exceed pressures, temperatures, and flow rates recommended by the membrane manufacturer.
- Cleaning efficacy can be further improved by heating the cleaning solution and alternately circulating the solution for 15 minutes and then soaking the membranes for 15 minutes. Repeat as necessary.
- Monitor the pH range periodically throughout the cleaning. When pH increases above the desired range, it should be adjusted by adding more AWC C-232.
Safety & Handling
- Store in cool, dry and well ventilated area.
- Keep containers closed.
- Wash contaminated clothes before re-use.
- Wash thoroughly after handling.
- For more information, see the Safety Data Sheet provided with this product.
Packaging
- 5 gallon pails
- 55 gallon non-returnable plastic drums
- 275 gallon totes
