Genesol UF 12

Genesol UF 12 Antiscalant Chemicals

Genesol U.F.12 formulation includes detergents and multi-effect chemistry to penetrate and break down biofilms whilst alkaline components remove protein derivatives, oils and greases. Chelating agents disrupt cell walls and help to remove metals whilst the mechanical effects of Osmotic Action and Effervescence promote foulant release from membrane surfaces.

Application

Genesol UF 12 is highly effective when used as a 1% -2% solution with alternating cycles of circulation and soaking for periods of 2 - 3 hours. A temperature of 35oC – 40oC will help improve foulant removal. The high ionic strength solution creates an osmotic effect which help to break up and release deposits from the membrane surface and so enhance the chelating action. Effervescence generates turbulence during soaking and bubble nucleation releases foulant particles from the membrane surface.

After cleaning, the membrane system should be flushed with permeate water until reaching neutral pH.

Genesol UF 12 is readily dissolved in water.

Health and Safety

Genesol UF 12 is a powder blend of mixed cleaners, including a surfactant, a biodegradable chelant, detergent and an effervescing agent. It is compatible with carbon steel and commonly used materials of construction found in membrane plants and CIP installations. Protective clothing should be used. Observe all safety precautions shown in the material safety data sheet, available on request.
