3.5 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Avoid extremes of temperatures, eg. below 0C and above 40C. Avoid contact with alkalis and strong oxidising agents. Elevated temperatures lead to the release of sulphur dioxide and ammonia fumes. Decomposition liberates oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen and oxides of carbon. Incompatibilities with strong oxidizers, nitric acid, chlorine, solutions are strong acids and react violentely with bases.

APPLICATION
When 10 % production drop has been registered (after correcting for temperature effect) the membranes should be cleaned with HEM RO cleaning chemicals. Proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. -Flush the system with freshwater as described on page 19, paragraph 9.1 to 9.5. -Prepare the HEM cleaning chemical CC2, by mixing the content with 40 lts of tap water into a clean plastic container. -Prepare the system plumbing with a suction pipe from the chemical tank to the CLEANING CONNECTION 1, and from the CLEANING CONNECTION 2, back to the chemical tank. We have now got a closed circuit where the chemical will circulate through the complete system and return to the tank. If a sand lter is installed, turn the sand lter backwash valves in such a way that the sand lter will be by-passed. The large volume of water in the sand lter would otherwise dilute the chemicals and have less effect on the membranes, which we are trying to treat. -Open the pressure regulator valve FULLY. Switch off the HP drive motor on the control box, and let the feed water pump alone circulate the solution through the system for 15 minutes. (Should the feed pump have problems with priming, let the HP pump help to prime the system initially) -Stop the feed water pump, and let the chemicals soak into and dissolve the dirt on the membrane surface for 2 hours. -Switch on the HP drive motor again, and start both pumps together and let them run for 15 to 30 minutes. -Switch the dump line valves to its normal position, so that the chemicals can be washed overboard through the dump line. Start the system, and stop it again when the chemical tank is empty. -Reconnect the suction line as well to its normal position, and let seawater ush through the system for 10 minutes without applying any pressure. -Change the lter elements, ush out the chemical container, and prepare solution NR 2. -Repeat step 1 to 9 with chemical NR 2. -Replace the pre-lter cartridges, and disconnect the product line during the rst 60 minutes of production after a chemical cleaning. This to avoid any traces of chemicals to reach the storage tank. -If the chemicals are allowed to circulate for too long time, the temperature will increase in the liquid and may cause damage to the RO membrane. -Do not let the temperature get over 40 deg C. If required add ice to cool the chemical. -Best results will be obtained if the solution can be kept at approx 30 deg C. -After a chemical cleaning, run the system for at least 24 hrs in normal operation before taking any readings on product ow or salinity of product water.

POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

5.1 TOXICOLOGICAL INDICATIONS
Eyes Eyes: Skin: Inhalation: Ingestion: Ingestion Corrosive. Can blurred vision, redness, pain, severe tissue burns and eye damage. Corrosive. Symptoms of redness, pain, and severe burn can occur. Extremely destructive to tissues of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Harmful is swallowed. May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach, leading to death

5.2 FIRST AID MEASURES

Eyes: Eyes In case of contact immediately ush eyes with cool running water or eyewash solution. Rise entire surface and do not allow run-off to contaminate unaffected eye. Obtain medical attention immediately. Remove and wash contaminated clothing immediatly. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Obtain medical attention immediately. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give articial respiration. Obtain medical attention immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If unconscious , place in rocovery position. If concious, rinse mouth, then drink one or two large glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Skin: Inhalation: Ingestion: Ingestion

6.2 EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering controls: controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Use chemical splash goggles and chemical resistant, impervious gloves. For continued or severe exposure wear a face shield over the goggles. Use synthetic apron, other protective equipment as necessary to prevent skin contact. Use a properly tted, particulate lter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.

Personal protection: protection

7.1 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability of the product: product Flash point: point Fire-ghting media and instructions: Special protective Equipment quipment for re-ghters: ghters May be combustible at high temperature. > 100C Use an extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding res. Dike area of re to prevent product run-off. Fire ghters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

7.2 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions: Ventilate area of leak or spill. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective equipment. Stop leak if without risk. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
