Description
Protec™ RO
Antifoulant/Dispersant
Antiscalant & antifoulants work differently but all with the same goal, keeping your RO/NF membranes running at maximum productivity. Antifoulants work to prevent organic and biological material, colloids, silt, and other fine particulates from attaching themselves to the membrane. Antiscalant temporarily keeps sparingly soluble salts in solution so they do not stick to the membrane and form scale. There are many different types of scale and foulants which can hinder membrane performance. Depending on your water chemistry, you may need a broad spectrum antiscalant, a specifically targeted antifoulant or a product which provides protection for both.
ProtecTM RO is a targeted performance antifoulant that is specifically formulated for feedwaters with high potential for fouling by colloidal inorganic and organic matter. It is effective over a wide range of concentrations. Protec™ RO may be used as an anti-deposition agent for silt and colloidal organic matter, making it an ideal antifoulant for sea, river, and lake water sources and water reclamation. Protective and flux enhancing activity reduces the rate of fouling, and enhances the ease of subsequent cleanings. Use of this product is recommended for reducing the operating and capital costs of reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) systems.
Features
- Helps prevent the deposition of colloidal silica on the membrane surface.
- Can be used in conjunction with Pretreat Plus antiscalants when silica is >50 ppm in the feed.
- Specifically formulated to control high concentrations of colloidal inorganics and organic particles.
- Inhibits anchoring of microorganisms on membrane surfaces.
- Strong dispersing capabilities.
- Compatible with RO, NF, and UF membranes from all major manufacturers.
- Certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for drinking water production.
Applications
Targeted: Targeted line of antiscalant & antifoulants meant for particularly difficult and unique applications.
