This webinar introduces the concept of foulant categories, and considers the dosing and cleaning chemical characteristics required to control and/or remove different types of foulants. Dosing chemical options will be presented, including simple inorganic coagulants and more complex polymeric options, and the efficacy of these options will be discussed in various applications. The webinar will then go on to examine the range of cleaning chemicals that are commonly used in water membrane applications. Methods and procedures will be described for use with different feed formats. The pros and cons of commodity and speciality cleaners will be discussed for different applications. The content can be summarised as follows: • Foulant categories • Dosing chemicals; options and procedures • Cleaning chemicals; options and procedures
