People who use reverse osmosis water
treatment equipment know that water treatment chemicals are called scale
inhibitors. It has a good dispersion effect. Scale inhibitors can break down
poorly soluble inorganic salts in water and interfere with or prevent
impurities' precipitation and scaling on the membrane surface. So, do you know
how to use scale inhibitors?
How to use scale inhibitors, we need to
grasp three points—the dosing point, dosage, and dispensing method of scale
inhibitors.
1. Dosing point: To achieve maximum
efficiency, a scale inhibitor is best added before static mixing or filtration.
The actual reading of the dosing pump should be calibrated before dosing.
Adding should be done continuously and proportional to the inlet water flow.
This will maintain the recommended dosing amount.
2. Dosing amount. The dosing standard
solution required per unit volume of dosing is the dosing concentration of the
dosing standard solution.
3. Preparation instructions of
pharmaceuticals: scale inhibitor can be added directly, or the drug can be
added after dilution in any proportion (diluted with RO water or ionized
water). The standard solution's dilution should not be less than 10% (w/w). The
diluted solution should be well stirred to ensure even mixing.
Corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors
are chemical reagents. All chemical reagents have chemical properties. Chemical
properties refer to the chemical elements in that reagent. How active are these
chemical elements? With which factors do they react easily? What kind of
products will be produced after the reaction?
To prevent the reagent's chemical reaction,
it is necessary to make the reagent more stable and give full play to its
effect. Corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors are widely used in industry
and need to stabilize their chemical properties. There are three ways to improve
stability.
1, the scale inhibitor dispersion medium's
viscosity has a certain impact on the stability of corrosion and scale
inhibitors.
Generally speaking, the greater the
dispersion medium's viscosity, the higher the stability of the water treatment
corrosion inhibitor. This is because the dispersion medium's viscosity is
large; the Brownian motion of liquid beads is strongly impeded. Slowed down the
collision between the liquid beads to maintain the stability of the system.
2. A load of liquid beads greatly
influences the stability of water treatment anti-corrosion inhibitors.
Stable water treatment anti-corrosion and
scale inhibitor, liquid beads are generally charged. As the emulsion droplet
liquid with the same charge, mutual repulsion, not easy to gather, stability
increased.
The more corrosion and scale inhibitor ions
adsorbed by the liquid beads, the greater the charge, the stronger the ability
to prevent the liquid beads from coalescing.
3, in some cases, the addition of solid
powder in the washing plant equipment can also stabilize corrosion and scale
inhibitors.
Solid powder in water, oil, or the
interface depends on the oil or water's wettability to the solid powder. Water
treatment corrosion and scale inhibitor need certain stability to achieve
corrosion and scale inhibition. Therefore, when using corrosion and scale
inhibitors, stability must be enhanced.
vcycletech recommends that customers should
also understand the details of corrosion, and scale inhibitors should be noted
in the process of use.
