Circulating water scale inhibitor is a chemical used in the field of water treatment, mainly used to prevent and control the formation and accumulation of scale (such as salt deposits such as calcium and magnesium) in circulating water systems. Circulating water scale inhibitors have the following properties and uses:
Scale inhibition performance: Circulating water scale inhibitors can react with cations such as calcium and magnesium in water to form stable water-soluble complexes. These complexes can prevent calcium and magnesium plasma crystallization and generate scale, thereby avoiding the formation and accumulation of scale in the circulating water system.
Dispersion performance: The circulating water scale inhibitor also has good dispersion performance, which can disperse and suspend the formed scale particles in water, prevent them from adhering to the surface of pipelines and equipment, and maintain the smoothness of the system.
Cleaning performance: Some circulating water scale inhibitors have a certain cleaning effect, which can dissolve and remove the formed scale to restore and maintain the normal operation of the system.
Corrosion inhibition: Some circulating water scale inhibitors also have a certain function of inhibiting metal corrosion, forming a protective film and reducing the corrosion rate of metal pipelines and equipment.
The main uses of circulating water scale inhibitors include but are not limited to the following aspects:
Cooling water system: Circulating water scale inhibitors are commonly used in cooling water systems to prevent scale formation in equipment such as cooling water pipelines, cooling towers, and heat exchangers, improve cooling efficiency, and save energy.
Boiler water system: Adding circulating water scale inhibitors to the boiler water system can prevent scale blockage in boiler pipelines and heat exchange areas, improve heat transfer efficiency, and prolong the service life of the boiler.
Industrial circulating water system: Circulating water scale inhibitors are also widely used in various circulating water systems in industrial production, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, chemicals, liquor making, textiles, and other fields. They can maintain the normal operation of equipment, reduce equipment maintenance and cleaning frequency, and improve production efficiency.
It should be noted that the selection of suitable circulating water scale inhibitors should be based on specific water quality conditions and treatment requirements. The product instructions and technical data should be carefully read, and the correct operating procedures should be followed for use. In addition, the addition and control of scale inhibitors for circulating water also need to be adjusted and monitored according to actual conditions to ensure their treatment effect and economy.
