Description

An antiscalant is a pretreatment that gets injected into the feedwater that flows through the RO membrane, preventing the membrane from scaling. RO membrane scaling occurs when particles accumulate on a membrane, causing the membrane’s pores to plug.

Industrial water treatment seeks to manage four main problem areas: scaling, corrosion, microbiological activity and disposal of residual wastewater. … Scaling occurs when the chemistry and temperature conditions are such that the dissolved mineral salts in the water are caused to precipitate and form solid deposits.
