RO Antiscalant Chemicals

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance can be negatively impacted by impurities that build up on the membrane surface during operations. Suspended solids, microorganisms and mineral scale can foul membrane elements. These deposits can cause loss in output and/or rejection levels and reduce total system performance.

Antiscalants are surface active materials that interfere with precipitation reactions in three primary ways :

• Threshold Inhibition
• Crystal Modification
• Dispersion

Benefits :

• Restores and prolongs membrane life.
• Maintains system performance.
• Reduces down time.
• Protects membranes from oxidizing agents.
