 Conclusion
• ASD has ability to defend the value of pH at
range 5-8 as long ± 16 hours.
• ASD help the performance of U550 for
increasing their UV Transmittance (220 nm
and 275 nm) and also keep going pH value.
• ASD has “no significant performance” to
increase pH value of lean cycle water.
However, If we use ASD Resin, we have
advantage in reducing aldehydes content in
lean cycle water (± 5-9 ppm).
