Innova’s RO Antiscalants are the critical "guardians" of the desalination and water recovery plants that sustain Sri Lanka’s coastal industrial zones. These specialized formulations prevent the precipitation of hardness minerals (calcium, magnesium, and sulfates) on membrane surfaces. This allows RO units to operate at higher recovery rates, which is essential for ensuring a sustainable water supply in regions affected by seasonal droughts or high salinity.
Key Features & Technical Advantages for Sri-Lanka Plants:
- 1. Versatile Scale Control: Effectively inhibits scales
including Calcium Carbonate (up to LSI +3.0), Calcium Sulfate, Barium Sulfate,
and Strontium Sulfate in Sri-Lanka's local water conditions.
- 2. Membrane Compatibility: Fully compatible with all leading
RO, NF, and UF membranes and coagulants used in regional facilities.
- 3. Potable Water Safe: Classified and certified for use in
Sri-Lanka systems producing drinking (potable) water.
- 4. Foulant Dispersion: Maintains cleaner membrane surfaces by
actively dispersing particulate foulants and metal oxides (Iron & Aluminum).
- 5. Operational Flexibility: Effective over a wide pH range and
can be fed neat or diluted for Sri-Lanka industrial setups.
Science of Protection (How it Works):
Our antiscalants protect Sri-Lanka's water systems through three
primary mechanisms:
- Threshold Inhibition: Keeps supersaturated solutions of
sparingly soluble salts in suspension.
- Crystal Modification: Distorts crystal shapes at a
submicroscopic level, resulting in soft, non-adherent scale that doesn't stick
to membranes.
- Dispersion: Imparts a high anionic charge to crystals, keeping
them separated from each other and the membrane surface.
Application & Dosing Guidance for Sri-Lanka:
For maximum efficacy in Sri-Lanka based units, RO Antiscalant should
be injected prior to the static mixer or cartridge filter housing. For
potable applications, the typical dosage range is 2 to 6
mg/L. Dilution should be kept at a maximum of 10% using RO permeate or
DI water.
Strategic Benefits in Sri-Lanka:
- 1. Restores and prolongs expensive membrane life for Sri-Lanka
industries.
- 2. Maintains peak system rejection levels and output flow.
- 3. Global Standard Performance: Our formulation in
Sri-Lanka is equivalent to, or exceeds, the performance of
industry standards like Permatreat PC 191/510, Maxtreat 9001/9002/9004,
and Indion 8111.
