RO Antiscalant

Reverse Osmosis serves as one of the most critical processes that are involved in the process water treatment to clean water, utilized in various industrial process applications. Reverse Osmosis can be regarded as the process wherein semi-permeable membranes help in separating purified water from contaminated water. It occurs when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane resulting in forcing purified water to the dilute side.
Reverse Osmosis is very efficient for the treatment of brackish, surface and ground water for both large and small flow applications. Some examples of industries that use RO water include boiler feed water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal finishing and semiconductor manufacturing to mention a few.
The overall performance of a reverse osmosis system relies on various factors like feed water quality, membrane type, flow control, temperature and pressure. Systems must be well maintained for ensuring effective performance with any fouling requiring cleaning that will maximize the output of the water.
Now, scaling of RO Membranes is one of the critical determining factors of the rate of process water treatment by reverse osmosis system. More the scaling, reduced is the productivity of the system. To effectively control the scaling and to improve the productivity of the system, RO Antiscalant is the best solution one can opt for.
Scalant
What is Scaling?
Scaling can occur when certain dissolved (inorganic) compounds become more concentrated and exceed their solubility limits and precipitate on the membrane surface as scale. The most common scale that develops on RO membrane is that of Calcium Carbonate.

How scaling can be controlled?
The scaling can be controlled in two ways – either by removing scaling after it has formed or simply by protecting or preventing the formation of scaling. This prevention can be done by employing RO Antiscalant chemicals.


RO Antiscalants efficiently controls Iron fouling by sequestration thereby reducing the frequency of membrane cleaning. It helps to check the capacity of RO close to design, and assists in minimizing membrane cleaning cost and shutdowns. It accounts for effective scale inhibition with high recovery rate. It is effective at low chemical dosage thus appears to be economical.

H2S – A Silent Ultimatum to Oilfields

H 2 S Scavenger Chemical – Introduction The world has witnessed a substantial increase in E&P of crude oil to meet the need for globalization, leading to drilling of ‘deemed undesirable’ sites, owing to the presence of higher concentration of acidic gases like hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, etc. These hazardous gases require proper measures before disposal or scavenging. Of these, Hydrogen sulphide/ H 2 S is the most threatening one, especially in confined or ill ventilated places. The characteristic rotten egg smell makes H 2 S recognition easy even at lower concentrations. Hydrogen Sulphide is toxic, acidic and extremely corrosive at higher concentrations. Heavier than air, it is found more near base level of the working sites. Then comes its inflammability, which may cause explosive reaction with air molecules. With peroxides, ammonia and other oxidizing chemicals, H 2 S often goes through combustible reactions, ...

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor – Chemtex Speciality Limited

  Acid Corrosion Inhibitors are the most important inhibitor of any operation, preventing the impact of corrosion on exposed metal, tubular, downhole equipment, and surfaces and maximizing longevity, minimizing the operational cost. Corrosion is the chemical interaction with the environment that cause the deterioration of materials and it is unavoidable for all metals. When acids come into contact with metals, they initiate chemical reactions that lead to corrosion. Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids. This layer prevents direct contact between the acid and the metal, thus inhibiting the corrosive process. Mechanisms of Acid Corrosion Inhibition Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids.
