A Northwest Ohio drinking water plant was cleaning its RO trains every two to four months on a competitor’s antiscalant. Switching to AWC A-102 Ultra at half the dose stretched that to every six months and dropped feed pressure by up to 35 psi.
AWC Removes Seemingly Irreversible Foulant For Water Reuse Facility in Florida
An upset at the upstream wastewater plant fouled a South Florida power plant’s UF membranes so badly that a month of standard cleaning did nothing. AWC UF-429, pushed through the membrane pores instead of across them, took permeability from 0.37 to 6.12 gfd/psi.
AWC helps Florida municipal RO save $150,000 per year by eliminating dosing of hazardous sulfuric acid
A 20 MGD Florida RO plant was buying 52 tanker loads of sulfuric acid a year to keep its antiscalant working. AWC A-102 Plus removed acid from the feed line entirely, cutting deliveries to 6 a year and saving about $150,000.
AWC Eliminates scaling Problem for Potable RO Plant in Alabama
Four months after startup, an Alabama drinking water plant saw feed pressure jump 22% while dosing 7.8 ppm of antiscalant, and an autopsy found silica and phosphate scale in the second stage. After a C-236 and C-234 cleaning, AWC A-110 at just 2.5 ppm has kept the plant scale-free since November 2012.
