Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for AWC-UF-434. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product Identification
- Product Name: AWC® UF-434
- Description: MF/UF Low pH Cleaning Compound
Advantages
- Low pH membrane-cleaning compound for dissolution of carbonate and phosphate scales from microfiltration and ultrafiltration surfaces and pores.
- Effectively dissolves and chelates iron, aluminum and other metal oxides.
- Buffered to maintain pH range even when product is accidentally overdosed.
- Compatible with most UF/MF modules.
- Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 60.
Typical Properties
- Appearance: Clear yellow to amber liquid
- Odor: Slight Characteristic
- Solubility in water: Complete
- pH (as is) @ 25˚C: < 2
- Specific Gravity: 1.35 ± 0.05
Chemical Feeding and Control
- Water for Solution: Use potable water free of residual chlorine or other oxidizing agents (RO permeate or DI water are preferred).
- Solution Preparation: Add 1-2 gallons of AWC UF-434 for every 100 gallons of water (~1–2 % solution), depending on fouling severity.
- Temperature: Heat water to the maximum temperature allowed by the module manufacturer.
- Circulation (Tubular Designs):
- Circulate cleaning solution with filtrate valve closed, in the feed direction for 30 minutes.
- Maintain pH of 2-3.
- Reverse flow direction and circulate for another 30 minutes.
- Measure pH every 15 minutes.
- Add AWC UF-434 as needed to maintain pH 2-3.
- Repeat until solution pH remains stable for two consecutive readings.
- Back Flushing (if allowed): Back flush with cleaning solution from filtrate to feed for 15 minutes.
- Post-Cleaning Flush: Flush modules with MF/UF filtrate.
Safety & Handling
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
- Keep containers closed.
- Wash contaminated clothes before re-use.
- Wash thoroughly after handling.
- Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for more information.
Packaging
- 5 gallon pails
- 55 gallon non-returnable plastic drums
- 275 gallon totes
