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

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-234 to every 100 gallons of water (2% solution). Adjust the pH to < 2 by adding more chemical if needed.  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.  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-234.
