Reverse osmosis scale inhibitors are mainly used to clean and protect reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, and have the following functions:
Prevention of scaling: When water passes through a reverse osmosis membrane, soluble salts, metal ions, and particles will form precipitation and scaling on the membrane surface. The formula components in the scale inhibitor can effectively prevent these precipitates from accumulating on the membrane surface, reducing the problem of scale accumulation in the reverse osmosis system.
Cleaning the membrane surface: The cleaning agent component in the reverse osmosis scale inhibitor can remove dirt, sediment, and biological pollutants from the membrane surface. Cleaning the surface of the membrane can restore its permeability and efficiency, improve the performance of the reverse osmosis system and the quality of water production.
Protective film: The corrosion inhibitor component in the scale inhibitor can reduce metal corrosion on the surface of the film and extend its service life. At the same time, scale inhibitors can also protect the membrane and reduce damage caused by cleaning and chemical treatment.
Improving efficiency: By regularly using reverse osmosis scale inhibitors for cleaning and protection, the efficiency and water production of the reverse osmosis system can be improved. The cleaning and protection of the membrane surface can reduce resistance and scale inhibition, ensure the smooth passage of water on the membrane, and thus improve the operational efficiency of the reverse osmosis system.
It should be noted that selecting appropriate reverse osmosis scale inhibitors and the correct usage method are crucial for maintaining the performance of the reverse osmosis system and extending its lifespan. Suitable scale inhibitors should be selected based on specific water quality and system conditions, and used and treated in accordance with the product manual and relevant guidance.
