Scale Inhibitor Testing

Scale inhibitors are used in circulating water systems, reverse osmosis equipment, and boiler equipment to treat raw water, which not only help remove scale but also delay the formation of scale, which is significant for protecting equipment and saving fuel. BOC Sciences provides customers with professional technical services such as scale inhibitor analysis, inspection, testing, research and development, and regulatory consulting.

Scale Inhibitor Application Characteristics

1. Effective control of inorganic scaling in a wide range of concentrations
2. Does not coalesce with iron and aluminum oxides and silicon compounds to form insoluble substances.
3. Effective in inhibiting the aggregation and deposition of silicon, with SiO₂ concentration up to 290 ppm on the concentrated water side.
4. Excellent solubility and stability.
5. Effective in feed water pH range of 5-10.

Testing Services

Scale inhibitor usually acts on some substances in water, so it has a good cleaning effect on the components in water which are easy to form scale, and these components have a certain diameter range. Scale inhibitor products generally have a small diameter of the active ingredients, and as long as a small number of samples are taken for testing, the quality of the product can be detected. At the same time, some other relevant aspects should be paid attention to in the operation in order to effectively ensure the quality of the product and improve its use efficiency.

Scale inhibitor testing scope

Natural polymer scale inhibitor, synthetic polymer scale inhibitor, carboxylic acid polymer scale inhibitor, sulfonic acid polymer scale inhibitor, phosphorus-containing polymer scale inhibitor, environment-friendly scale inhibitor, polycarboxylic acid scale inhibitor and dispersant, special corrosion inhibitor for boiler, special scale inhibitor for heat network, RO membrane scale inhibitor, reverse osmosis scale inhibitor, special scale inhibitor, concentrated scale inhibitor, non-phosphorus scale inhibitor, calcium and magnesium scale inhibitor, boiler scale inhibitor, oil slurry scale inhibitor, etc.

Scale inhibitor composition analysis items

Composition test, organic matter test, quality test, flash point test, content test, total phosphorus test, residue test, chelating force test, chemical composition test, active ingredient test, physical and chemical performance test, etc.

In addition to the above composition analysis of scale inhibitors, BOC Sciences also provides scale inhibition performance evaluation of scale inhibitors.

Scale inhibitor performance evaluation methods

• Static scale inhibitor rate evaluation method

Static scale inhibitor rate evaluation method is an early and widely used evaluation method, which is simple and easy to implement without special instruments and equipment, and can be realized under general experimental conditions. Static scale inhibition rate evaluation methods include deposition method, bubbling method, turbidity method, critical pH method, pH displacement method, conductivity method and induction period method, etc.

• Dynamic scale inhibitor rate evaluation method

Dynamic test method is to simulate the actual application environment of scale inhibitor to the maximum extent possible and evaluate its scale inhibition performance objectively, the scale inhibition and dispersion performance measured by this method is the closest to the actual application of scale inhibitor performance.
