Scale and Corrosion is considered a
curse to all industries, be it large or small.
Due
to their subjection to water systems, heavy metal installations, industries
face a huge annual loss due to these complications as they have direct implications
on the production rate and outcome. Formation of scales cause severe metal
lining problems, decrease in fluid flow rate, pitting and perforation, pore
throats, wear and tear, machinery failure and primarily first stage of corrosion
(in most cases).
Antiscalant dosing is preferred over other conventional
treatments in counteracting scaling and corrosion. The primary reason being its
simplicity and effectiveness over particulate matter deposition and cost
efficiency. Most antiscalant chemicals work on adsorption mechanism, where they
get adhered to the surface, preventing any interaction between inorganic salts
and surface lining, ensuring lesser accumulation, lesser precipitation in the
feeding solution, and ensuring prolonged protection.
Chemtex Antiscalant Chemicals can be directly dosed into the feeding system, and reduces the usage of acid usage. The exact dosage rate varies depending upon the severity of scaling, and typical OEM recommendations.
The composition and physico-chemical nature is
tailor made to suit the specific nature of the problem encountered. Depending upon
a number of co-related factors that help improve the workability of the system,
also inhibiting the accumulation of inorganic salts that forms scales. Common
compounds that are used in formulating an antiscalant are polyacrylic acids,
polymaleic acids, organophosphates, polyphosphates, phosphonates, anionic
polymers, etc.
The most likely mineral contaminants that
poses threat to any metallic system are Calcium carbonate, Calcium sulphate,
Strontium sulphate, and Barium sulphate.

Boiler Antiscalants are
multi-purpose heavy-duty chemicals designed to remove rust, hard deposits of
water scale, iron oxides, oily contaminants, lime and greasy deposits from
boiler systems. Regular usage of these chemicals provide
protection to system metallurgy, ensuring an optimally longer boiler life cycle.
·
For Reverse Osmosis
systems, various formulations were evolved depending upon the type of membrane,
quality of feed water and rate of product recovery;
o
Use of high pH RO antiscalants to inhibit scales and
disperse colloidal particles in cellulose acetate and thin-film membrane
separation systems, stable over a wide range of supersaturated salt solution. It
prevents precipitation on the membrane surface, reducing the risk of scaling
and helping in effective plant operations with optimal recovery rate.
o
Neutral RO antiscalants reduces membrane
fouling within separation systems, effectively controlling inorganic salts,
metal hydroxides, and colloids in RO feed water
o
Application
with low pH antiscalants eliminate inorganic scales in multiple applications
areas. It stabilizes metal ions to prevent metal oxides precipitation and
disperses silt and clay particles.
