Choosing the right antiscalant
There are hundreds of RO antiscalants on the market. How do you pick the right chemistry for your system?
All RO systems are designed around one thing — the feed water the system will be purifying. We take the same approach to chemistry. The right choice in antiscalant always comes down to the impurities being treated in the feed water source.
If you aren't sure where to start, we'll help you get there at no cost or obligation. If you already have an idea, here's where each of our workhorse antiscalants fits in commercial and industrial settings.
The workhorse grades
For calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate limited waters running at elevated cycles of concentration.
Holds reactive silica in solution well past its nominal saturation limit in high-silica feedwaters.
Built for reclaimed and phosphate-bearing feedwaters where calcium phosphate and sulfate scales dominate.
For sites with discharge scrutiny or sustainability targets that require a readily biodegradable inhibitor.
Beyond these, we hold many niche formulations for specific problematic solutes. Our technical team has decades of experience troubleshooting RO issues and optimizing RO chemistries — tell us what your system is doing.
