AWC UF-428 – UF Membrane Cleaner
UF Biological and Clay Cleaner (Liquid)
Chlorinated high pH powder MF/UF membrane cleaning chemical for removal of heavy biological and organic fouling. Designed to solve UF fouling issues when hypochorite is no longer effective. Containins chlorine, dispersants, surfactants and other cleaning compounds specifically designed for cleaning microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) surfaces and pores.
Compatible with most PES membranes.

Safety and Handling
Store in a 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 MF/UF filtrate. For best results, avoid using high hardness water.Â
- Add AWC UF-427 in a ~1–2% by weight solution, depending on severity of fouling. A minimum total cleaning time of 3 hours is typically recommended for heavy fouling.Â
- Heating the solution to the maximum temperature allowed by the module manufacturer will enhance cleaning results.
- If back-flushing is permissible by the manufacturer, cleaning results may be enhanced by back flushing the cleaning solution from the filtrate to the feed for 15 minutes.
