Safety and 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.
Chemical Feeding and Control
Always use MF/UF filtrate or RO permeate for CEB. Inject AWC UF-412CEB at a rate of 0.5% (w/w) into the backwash water flow during the CEB cycle. The CEB solution is typically allowed to soak for 5 – 30 minutes, with optional intermittent agitation (air sparging/circulation) for short periods (5 – 10 seconds) every 5 minutes. Warming the solution to 35°C will enhance the efficacy of foulant removal during CEB. The membranes are then flushed with MF/ UF filtrate prior to returning to normal filtration mode.
