MF/UF membranes do not reject salts, and scaling is therefore not a common occurrence. However, scaling can occur under certain conditions, especially in systems where air sparging is used frequently or high pH chemically enhanced backwashes (CEB) are applied. AWC has developed a line of membrane antiscalants that are approved for use in potable MF/UF systems. All AWC antiscalants are NSF approved for use in potable membrane systems.
