Antiscalants
Antiscalant chemicals are used to prevent the scaling & fouling of the RO membranes. Scale may consist of mineral fouling such as calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, silica, calcium fluoride, and strontium sulfate.
Benefits of Using Antiscalants:
Maintain cleaner membrane surfaces by dispersing particulate foulants
RO systems can be run at higher recovery rates, which translates to lower operating costs
Effective over a wide pH range
Compatible with the leading reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes
Effectively control scales including silica, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, and strontium sulfate
