Reverse Osmosis System is a
revolutionary invention to treat water and provide an effective solution for
purifying water in various applications. The performance of RO can be ensured
by the formation of scale and deposits on the membranes, leading to reduced
efficiency and increased operational costs. To prevent this issue, antiscalant
chemicals play an important role in reducing the formation of scale and
maintaining optimal RO Plant performance.
Reverse
Osmosis is widely used in various
industries to treat water and to remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and
other contaminants. The dense, thin, and semi-permeable layer allows water
molecules to pass through while rejecting dissolved solids, and other
impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. But the major issue
that surfaces in such systems is the formation of scales due to the build-up of
dissolved minerals and salts on the surface of the RO Membrane.
RO
Antiscalant Chemicals – Cost-effective Solution
Scaling not only reduces the
performance of RO membranes but can also lead to irreversible damage,
shortening their lifespan. Antiscalant Chemicals are specifically formulated to
inhibit the formation of scales & deposits on the membranes, leading to
reduced efficiency and increased operational cost. This Solution is fed to the
feedwater in small quantities before it enters into the membrane systems. The
antiscalant works as a pre-treatment additive in RO Plants. They work through
the crystallization process of scale-forming compounds such as calcium
carbonate, calcium sulphate, and silica. It is essential to maintain the
efficiency and longevity of RO membranes.

Choosing
the appropriate antiscalant chemical for your RO Plant is considered a careful
decision for feedwater composition, pH, temperature, and operating conditions.
Continuous monitoring and adjustment of antiscalant dosing are necessary to
ensure optimal performance and prevent scaling issues.
Chemtex
Speciality Limited manufactures antiscalants for Reverse Osmosis Systems (RO),
depending upon the type of membrane, quality of feed water, and rate of product
recovery.
High
pH RO antiscalant – It maintains
optimal pH levels for preventing scaling and preserving the efficiency of the
system.
Neutral
RO antiscalant – It reduces
the membrane fouling and controls inorganic salts, metal hydroxides, and
colloidal in RO feed water.
Low
pH RO antiscalant – It is
specifically formulated to prevent scale formation in reverse systems at low pH
conditions. It inhibits metal oxide precipitation by stabilizing the metal ions
and disperses them into slit, clay particles.
