IWE CC1 Membrane Biocide
[su_note note_color=”#e5f2ff” radius=”10″]IWE CC1 is a fast acting, broad-spectrum biocide used for cleaning Reverse Osmosis and Nano-Filtration membranes. It can be used both on and off-line to eliminate microbiological fouling. When used in potable water applications, IWE CC1 should be used ‘off-line’. IWE CC1 is also effective in removing biofilm from pumps, tanks and pipe-work. Best results are obtained when IWE CC1 is used at a pH 5.5 – 7.0. Residual IWE CC1 can be deactivated to harmless byproducts by using sodium bisulphite. IWE CC1 is readily biodegradable in the environment; the degradation rate is enhanced at increasing pH and temperature.

Application
When used ‘off-line’ as a membrane cleaner, IWE CC1 should be dosed at 40 – 80mg/l for periods up to 60 minutes. When used ‘on-line’ in non-potable applications IWE CC1 should be dosed at 100 – 200mg/l for 30 minutes. Pre-diluting IWE CC1 prior to use is not recommended as this will cause rapid degradation of the solution and loss of efficacy.
Health and Safety
IWE CC1 is based on an organo-bromine compound. It is corrosive to carbon steel and certain other alloys so all pumps, pipe-work and tanks should be made from acid resistant materials. A material safety data sheet is available on request.
Classification
CHIP: Harmful | UN: Corrosive
Packaging
