Circulating water treatment chemicals are chemicals used to treat problems in circulating water systems (such as cooling water, boiler water, etc.). Their main function is to improve the quality and performance of water through the following mechanisms:
Scale inhibition: There is often scale formation in circulating water due to dissolved salts such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate. The scale inhibitor in the circulating water treatment agent can react with dissolved salts, inhibit the formation of scale and prevent it from adhering to the pipe walls and equipment surfaces of the water system.
Corrosion inhibition: Metal pipelines and equipment in circulating water are prone to corrosion. The use of corrosion inhibitors can form a protective film covering the metal surface, preventing direct contact between oxygen and other corrosive substances with the metal, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of corrosion.
Sterilization and disinfection: There may be microorganisms (such as bacteria, algae, etc.) in the circulating water system, which can cause problems such as biological pollution, odor, and blockage. Disinfectants have the effect of inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, maintaining water hygiene and cleanliness.
Dispersant: There may be suspended particles or precipitates in the circulating water, which can cause problems such as water turbidity and sediment blockage. Dispersants can disperse and suspend particles in water, prevent their deposition and blockage, and maintain the transparency and fluidity of the water.
PH regulator: The pH value of the circulating water system is crucial for water quality and stable operation of equipment. PH regulators can regulate the acidity and alkalinity of circulating water, maintaining it within an appropriate range to reduce the risk of corrosion and scaling.
It should be noted that the selection and use of circulating water treatment agents need to be determined based on specific water quality issues and system requirements. When using them, correct dosing and control should be carried out according to the recommendations in the manual. In addition, reasonable water quality monitoring and regular system cleaning are also important measures to ensure the good operation of the circulating water system.
