Antiscale and struvite control
Magnesium ions form sparingly soluble salts with ammonium and phosphate. The reaction results in the formation of struvite, which will crystallise under the correct concentration and pH conditions. Struvite precipitation is a well-known operational problem in wastewater treatment plants, where deposits accumulate in pipes and pumps.
Struvite deposits result in increased water pressure in the piping, limit the plant's capacity, and can, in the worst cases, completely clog the pipes.
In order to ensure stable operation of the plant, struvite control may therefore be necessary.
How is Flosperse PX100N used?
Flosperse PX100N is added directly to the area where the first struvite precipitation is observed. Flosperse PX100N should not be diluted before use and is added directly using a pump.
Upon the addition of Flosperse PX100N, a temporary double-bonded magnesium complex is formed, which prevents crystallisation and precipitation. Flosperse PX100N also modifies the crystal structure of struvite, which consequently loses its ability to deposit in pipes and other parts of the wastewater treatment plant.
If you have problems with struvite and would like to test Flosperse PX100N from Afridana at an existing facility, we would be happy to stop by for a non-binding chat and an initial test.
