FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
Flocculant/coagulant blend for turbidity & color reduction. Designed for use upstream of RO membranes . Flocculant/coagulant blend designed for use with Reverse Osmosis (RO) pretreatment equipment
Enhances multimedia and cartridge filter performance resulting in reduced turbidity and color for better quality RO feed water
Economical to use because of its low dosage requirements
Contains 8% soluble ferric ion blended with a low charge- density organic polymer Compatible with polyamide and cellulose acetate membranes
Effective over a wide pH range, but should be applied at a pH < 7 to minimize ferric ion carryover
TYPICAL PROPERTIES

CHEMICAL FEEDING AND CONTROL
May be dosed anywhere between 1 to 30ppm based on jar testing results. Baslat-F3000 is acidic and can lower the pH of the feed water if there is insufficient alkalinity (minimum 0.25 ppm alkalinity per 1 ppm of Baslat-F3000 dosed). Significant overdosing may result in ferric ion carryover, and can result in a net dispersion effect of the suspended solids – dosage should be maintained based on jar testing results. If there are any questions, please contact American Water Chemicals for specific dosing instructions.
Should be fed neat if possible. If a dilution is necessary, dilute no more than 4 to 1 with RO permeate or DI water. Should be injected at least 15 feet (5m) upstream of multimedia or cartridge filters to allow for sufficient mixing and coagulation. Do not use static mixers ahead of the filters as the shear imparted by this equipment will degrade the polymers contained in this formulation.
SAFETY AND HANDING
Store in a cool area and protected from freezing. If freezing occurs, the product should be thawed completely and agitated prior to subsequent use. The shelf life of Baslat-F3000 is 2 years when stored at temperatures between 5 and 30°C. For more information, see the Safety Date Sheet provided with this product.
PACKAGING
Baslat-F3000 is packaged in 25 KG non-returnable plastic drums.
