Antiscalant Dosing with Chemtex Chemicals

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

RAIN FED AGRICULTURE

Rainwater is the key to most of the farming practices followed worldwide, especially in Asian and African subcontinent for regular water need and supply, reason being its purity and naturality. Lakes, Reservoirs, Ponds, Irrigational Canals mostly rely on rainfall and regarded as the only sources of water supply for maximum farmers around the world. In fact, it is believed that a good rainfall ensures maximum crop harvesting and production, increasing monetary benefits and optimal food security. About three-fourth of the crops that grow across the world are rain dependent Surface water, considered as reservoir of rain water gets contaminated due to the presence of vulnerable environmental variants like weeds, micro-organisms, bacteria, etc. which mostly harm the health of the crop rather than saving it. Higher rate of evaporation leads to drying up of ponds, wells, lakes and other stagnant water bodies which coherently hamper the water requirement post rainfall but the hard

Nano Silver Hydrogen Peroxide

Interest on chemical behavior of Nano silver has substantially grown over the years, mainly for its pursuit as an effective antimicrobial agent. Research states that silver has a relatively wider range of antibacterial and anti-fungal attributes than other metals. And, hydrogen peroxide is a deemed eco-friendly sanitizer, owing to its oxidizing attribute, aiding in the elimination of harmful microorganisms wherever used. It ruptures the total cell structure on contact, without leaving behind any traces for replication. Hydrogen Peroxide and silver manifest excellent antimicrobial properties, their chemical synergy adds a lot of value as a prompt yet effective disinfecting agent with limited toxicity . Nano Silver Hydrogen Peroxide , from its name can be understood as a combination of oxidizing hydrogen peroxide stabilized with Nano silver. Upon application, it helps out in eliminating harmful microorganisms across multiple media without any residual toxicity. Hydrogen Pero

Wastewater Management with Chemtex Speciality Limited

About four-fifth of the total water supply, after going through various domestic and industrial applications revert to environment as contaminated water, making it unfit for re-use. But if treated and managed properly, a sizeable rate of this increasing demand can be dealt with, requiring most treatment plants to function optimally with proper physical and chemical mechanisms. Legally and ethically, wastewater must be treated before its exposure in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries. Wastewater Management correlates with the purification of polluted water, making it re-usable for comprehensive applications. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, dissolved gases, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with water quality, changing its chemistry making treat

Polyacrylate Hydrogel for Agriculture

The way global warming has started to take a toll on climate change, it has become very difficult for farmers to rely solely on rainfall and sunlight for crop blooming. The adversity has already risen in some areas of Asian and African sub-continent and environmental enthusiasts predict that it would only grow in coming times. The gruesome fact one should be worried about right now is the agriculture sector which is on a course of hitch; the reason being fast consumption of most of the available freshwater faulty irrigation practices. Latest report says that by the end of this decade, availability of agro products is going to decrease drastically, if not counter measured. Yet, these areas are accustomed to conventional methods and unaware or unsure about new techniques which will not only shoot up the productive usage of water but also enhance its usage on available crops. Water scarcity leads to drought, famine, financial loss and other undesirable frailties like irregular pric

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

Industrial sectors like Automobiles, Manufacturing, Oilfields, and Processing facilities have huge involvement of metals and the most crucial problem they face is of corrosion. Heavy Industry metals are prone to the attacks of corrosive substances like acids, bases, oxidizing agents, caustic effects, etc., which react with the metal electrons, decreasing its metallic property and resulting in total structural damage. The financial loss caused due to corrosion per year is estimated in the range of thousands of crores and even causing threat to environmental balance. Before further elaboration, let us understand what acidic corrosion actually is and how does it affect metallic attributes? Corrosion is referred to as the deterioration of materials by chemical interaction with the corrosive agents. A common phenomenon observed in the industrial areas, Corrosion complicates the overall working and operations depending upon

Super Absorbent Polymer for Agriculture

This human generation is going through some tough patches related to natural resources’ depletion, Water being an important one of them. The adversity has started to grow mainly in rain fed areas where nowadays due to uncertainty of sufficient rainfall, the demand for clean water is rapidly increasing and its availability for coming time is declining even faster. The gruesome fact is that the agriculture sector is on a verge of setback, reason being its consumption of most of the available potable water and the current irrigation practices are unable to even cater to the present requirement due to dissimilar landscapes of the sub-continent and their varied soil textures. These areas still follow the ancient techniques which not only lower the effective use of water but also decrease the use of available water for crops. Scarcity of water leads to drought, financial loss and other undesirable frailties like irregular price upsurge, lower productivity, increase in agro ruins etc

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in
