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.
This technology complements ChemTreat’s FlexPro® and FlexCorr™ non- and low-phosphate corrosion inhibitors, providing another opportunity for facilities looking to reduce or eliminate phosphate discharge from their cooling systems.
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.
This technology offers multiple advantages over industry-standard scale inhibitors:
CalciTect can also be used as a scale cleaner and applied in pretreatment systems to help manage RO membrane scaling.
CalciTect polymer tag provides better residual control than PTSA for early detection of scaling stress in cooling systems.
CalciTect exhibits a high percentage of clay dispersancy with respect to dosage, indicating its efficacy in reducing the potential of suspended solid and foulant deposition on cooling and heat exchanger surfaces.
