Thermal desalination is a complex process with many potential pitfalls. Controlling foam, preventing fouling and inhibiting the formation of scale all require constant monitoring and control. Water provides thermal desalination water additives that address all of these potential problems and keep them from occurring.
We provide water treatment options for both Multi Stage Flash (MSF) and Multi Effect Distillation (MED) desalination systems.
- FOAM CONTROL AND PRIMING
We offer Our Range of liquid water additives that prevent foam during the distillation process.
- FOULING AND SCALING
We offer several products under the brand names GARD MED. These products keep calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and magnesium hydroxide scaling from occurring in a wide range of environments and at different points in the thermal desalination process.
MEE antiscalant is a high performance liquid product for the control of scaling and particulate fouling in seawater multistage flash distillation plants. It is effective against alkaline scale formation across the full range of top brine temperature (TBT) in use today. It is particularly recommended for use in plants operating at temperature greater than 100°C where total control of particulate fouling and sludging is critical for maintaining thermal efficiency.
It reduces cleaning frequency and associated costs while maintaining the economy ratio of the plant for extended periods of time.
The product is dosed continuously to the make up line at a suitable point and often additional benefits are obtained with split dosing in multiple effect plants.
