Optimal Dosage and Application Techniques for Circulating Water Scale Inhibitors
Determining Optimal Dosage
The dosage of circulating water scale inhibitors is typically controlled within a range of 8 to 20 parts per million (ppm). The precise amount required depends on factors such as the hardness of the water, alkalinity, and the specific operational conditions of the cooling system.
For accurate dosage determination:
Water Quality Analysis: Regularly test the water to understand its hardness, alkalinity, and other characteristics. This helps in tailoring the inhibitor dosage to effectively manage scale formation.
System Monitoring: Continuously monitor the system for any signs of scale formation or deterioration in performance. Adjust the dosage as needed based on these observations.
Application Techniques
Continuous Addition: The scale inhibitor should be added continuously to maintain effective concentration levels throughout the system. This ensures that the inhibitor consistently interacts with the water to prevent scale formation.
Mixing and Distribution: Ensure thorough mixing and even distribution of the inhibitor within the circulating water system. This can be achieved through proper injection points and mixing mechanisms to avoid localized scaling.
Compatibility: When using additional chemicals such as biocides or stripping agents, ensure compatibility with the scale inhibitor. Many modern inhibitors, including our environmentally friendly, low-phosphorus scale inhibitor, are designed to be compatible with oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, enhancing overall treatment efficiency.
