Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for Permaclean 33. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.

Summary

Product Identification

  • Product Name: PERMACLEAN® PC-33
  • Product Type: RO MEMBRANE CLEANING COMPOUND
  • Manufacturer: Nalco Company

Benefits

  • Approved by NSF for potable treatment applications.
  • Compatible with all polyamide-based membrane chemistries.
  • Improves system efficiency by reducing differential pressures and increasing permeate flow rates.
  • Effective membrane cleaner for removing iron fouling and carbonate scale.
  • Reduces fouling that can lead to poor permeate quality, unscheduled downtime, loss in production, and membrane replacement.
  • Effective membrane cleaner for removing scales insoluble in acid, such as sulphates and calcium fluoride.

Description

PermaClean PC-33 is based on organic chelants and surfactants.

Usage

Designed for use as a cleaning compound in RO systems.

Dosage and Feeding

  • Dosage should be recommended by a Nalco representative based on specific system conditions.
  • Cleaning time depends on the amount of fouling.
  • Always use as recommended by the membrane manufacturer regarding cleaning pH and temperature.
  • Should be fed via a closed system, defined as a system where fluid moves from a closed storage vessel to a treated medium without atmospheric exposure, except through normal venting or pressure relief devices.
  • Thorough flushing is required to remove residual cleaning product from membrane surfaces before returning the system to service.

Materials Compatibility

  • Suitable for storage and application equipment: PVC, PE, Teflon, Stainless Steel.
  • Do not use with: Aluminum, Brass, Carbon steel in contact with the neat product.

Handling and Storage

  • Use protective equipment such as goggles and rubber gloves when handling.
  • Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for official Environmental and Safety information.
  • Can be stored for at least 12 months from the date of shipping if kept in its original, unopened container under normal warehouse conditions.
  • Protect from freezing and high temperatures.

Packaging

Available in non-returnable containers and PORTA-FEED's of different sizes.
