CalciTect is a non-phosphorus scale inhibitor developed to help industrial facilities maintain heat transfer efficiency, reduce chemical and energy usage, and preserve system reliability while meeting their environmental goals.
CalciTect uses a proprietary polymer formulation to replace phosphate-based inhibitors typically used in industrial water systems to treat calcium carbonate and sulfate scale.
The polymer is tagged with a fluorescent monomer attached to its backbone, allowing for on-line measurement and control of scale inhibitor levels, chemical feed automation, and a reduction in laboratory sampling and analysis needs. The tag helps optimize product feed rate, which may reduce treatment costs.
CalciTect’s fluorescent tag tracks polymer demand: as the tag reading drops, the pump increases product feed to maintain the target dosage.
