Water chemistry
Antiscalants & cleaners
Antiscalants, antifoulants and membrane cleaners that keep RO and NF membranes running at maximum productivity.
Antiscalant & antifoulants work differently but all with the same goal, keeping your RO/NF membranes running at maximum productivity. Antifoulants work to prevent organic and biological material, colloids, silt, and other fine particulates from attaching themselves to the membrane. Antiscalant temporarily keeps sparingly soluble salts in solution so they do not stick to the membrane and form scale. There are many different types of scale and foulants which can hinder membrane performance. Depending on your water chemistry, you may need a broad spectrum antiscalant, a specifically targeted antifoulant or a product which provides protection for both.
