Description
Pretreat Plus® G5000
Antiscalant/Dispersant/Antifoulant
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.
Pretreat Plus® G5000 is a powerful synergistic antiscalant, specifically formulated for feedwaters that need targeted control of calcium sulfate (gypsum) scale in the presence of other scale-forming minerals. Its specialty is in extending membrane life in systems treating industrial or mining water. It is effective over a wide range of concentrations, and does not flocculate dissolved polymers such as residual coagulants, iron or aluminum rich silica. Use of this product is recommended for reducing the operating and capital costs of reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) systems.
Features
- Controls calcium sulfate (gypsum) scale at extreme concentrations.
- Superior dispersing capabilities.
- Inhibits inorganic scale and precipitation of dissolved metals.
- Compatible with RO, NF, and UF membranes from all major manufacturers.
- Liquid formulation is convenient and easy to use.
- Certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for drinking water production.
Applications
Synergy: Synergistic blends combine the ability to target specific scale and foulants while also having the comfort of broad spectrum control.
