Chemical Feeding and Control

The cleaning solution should be prepared using RO permeate or softened water that is free of residual chlorine or other oxidizing agents. The cleaning solution is prepared by adding 17 lbs of AWC C-205 for every 100 gallons of water (2 % by wt. solution). Add caustic soda or ammonium hydroxide in small increments until pH is between 2–3. The cleaning solution is then circulated throughout the system without exceeding pressures, temperatures and flow rates recommended by the membrane manufacturer. Cleaning efficacy can be further improved by heating the cleaning solution. AWC C-205 should be added as necessary to the cleaning solution to maintain the pH range of 2–3 throughout the entire cleaning process. Depending on severity of fouling, your AWC representative will recommend optimal cleaning times.
