Antiscalant Selection Chart

The American Water chemicals (AWC) anti-scalants are designed to control scale formation and keep your membrane system clean, even under the most challenging circumstances. Our solutions can help you in reducing operating costs and frequency of cleaning. AWC chemicals are approved for all membrane types and by the major membrane suppliers, and many have FDA and food contact approval.

What is a super-concentrate?

“Use a pail in place of a drum”

A super-concentrate antiscalant is a highly concentrated chemical solution designed to prevent the formation of scale deposits on the surfaces of reverse osmosis (RO) and other membrane systems. Super-concentrate antiscalants offer the same level of protection as standard formulations but in a much more compact form, reducing the volume needed for storage, handling, and transportation.

These advanced formulations are particularly beneficial for those who want to reduce their chemical dosages, costs and to looking to minimize their environmental footprint. The smaller packaging and reduced shipping requirements also contribute to lower logistical costs and a more sustainable water treatment solution, making super-concentrate antiscalants an ideal choice for industries focused on efficiency and sustainability.

Antiscalant products

AWC has a very large range of antiscalants that we have access to. We have selected a range of products to meet the requirements of the Australian Market. Whether you’re a desalination plant or mine site, we have you covered.

AWC
A-108
CaCO3 and CaSO4 Inhibitor.
Designed for inhibition of calcium carbonate and sulphate scales with low to mid levels of calcium phosphate scale. Highly effective in water reuse membrane applications. Tolerant to ferric coagulant carryover.
Vera Flux Broad Spectrum Super Concentrate Inhibitor.
A broad-spectrum super concentrate antiscalant that provides exceptional protection with ultra low doses (use a cube in place of a drum) . Suited for systems running at moderate recovery (~80%) and provides good protection against calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate and calcium phosphate scales. Phosphate free.
AWC
A-110
Broad Spectrum and Silica Inhibitor.
Premium broad spectrum antiscalant that exhibits excellent control of silica and alumino silicate scales when in the presence of sulphate phosphate scales High strength formulation ensures low dose requirements and maximal protection.
AWC
A-119
Iron and Aluminium Inhibitor.
Premium antiscalant designed to inhibit iron, aluminium, and silica scales. The product continues working even in the presence of iron that would deactivate other scale inhibitors. In addition, the product prevents deposition of already precipitated particles in the membrane system.
AWC
A-120
Calcium Phosphate Inhibitor.
Scale inhibitor for extremely high levels of CaPO4, along with good iron and aluminium tolerance (up to 1.5ppm). Highly resistant to high calcium waters that can precipitate other antiscalants.
