Antiscalant
Antiscalant is a chemical injected into the feed water before the water is entered into the system. The chemical delays the reaction time between the bicarbonate and calcium magnesium, thereby controlling the formation of scales. Carbonates, phosphates and sulfates are the major products used in various water treatment applications on account their superior antiscalant properties.
