RPI-4900
The Patented RPI-4900 is specially designed to inhibit scale formation in SeaWater RO systems (equipped with polyamide, celluloseacetate and polyether membranes with an anionically charged surface).
RPI-4900 shows a strong threshold effect and therefore prevents scaling of calcium carbonate, Magnesium hydroxide, calcium sulphate and Iron/Manganese oxides. RPI-4900 also displays anti-oxydizing properties able to block most of SWRO metal catalytic oxidation reactions.
Application
RPI-4900 is a high concentration Antiscalant approved for use with cellulose acetate and polyamide membranes. The required dosage level ranges from 1 – 5 ppm as delivered. The dosage is proportional to the feed water flow. RPI-4900 is easy to use, safe to handle and optimized for long storage.
The dosage is controlled proportionally to the feed water flow. To minimize issues with tank biological fouling, the tank-containers have to be cleaned from time to time with a disinfecting agent.
RPI-4900 is easy to handle and does not contain any aggressive components. The pH value of the product is alkaline.
