Reverse osmosis scale inhibitor is a chemical agent that mainly functions in the following aspects:
Prevention of scaling: Reverse osmosis membranes are prone to contamination by scale substances in water quality during use, such as calcium magnesium sulfate, rust, etc. Scale inhibitors can prevent the formation of scale by adsorbing and dispersing scale, preventing its deposition on the membrane surface.
Removing scale layer: If there is already a scale layer on the surface of the membrane, the scale inhibitor can remove the scale layer through chemical reactions or dissolution, restoring the permeability of the membrane. This helps to improve the treatment efficiency and water quality of the reverse osmosis system.
Enhanced cleaning effect: In the process of cleaning the reverse osmosis system, scale inhibitors can enhance the effectiveness of the cleaning agent. It can improve the permeability and dispersion ability of the cleaning agent, help to completely remove the scale layer from the membrane surface, and thus improve the cleaning effect.
Extending membrane life: The use of scale inhibitors can effectively extend the service life of reverse osmosis membranes. By preventing and removing fouling, reducing membrane surface pollution and damage, scale inhibitors can slow down membrane aging and performance degradation, and extend membrane life.
It should be noted that different types and formulations of reverse osmosis scale inhibitors may have different functions and usage effects. When selecting and using scale inhibitors, they should be selected based on the actual situation and manufacturer’s recommendations, and follow the correct usage methods and operating requirements.
