Aquaphor 494 Acidic Membrane Cleaner
Aquaphor 494 is a highly effective acidic cleaning agent specifically designed to remove inorganic deposits from the surface of membranes in industrial reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration systems. Its use helps restore system performance and extend the lifespan of membranes, especially after working with water containing high salt concentrations.
Mechanism of Action and Benefits
This cleaner effectively removes types of fouling such as calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), and deposits of metal oxides including iron, manganese, and aluminum. The acidic pH of the solution allows it to effectively dissolve and remove these inorganic contaminants.
