AWC A-110 – Silica Inhibitor
Broad Spectrum and Silica Inhibitor
Premium broad spectrum antiscalant that exhibits excellent control of silica and alumino silicate scales when in the presence of phosphate scales. It’s high strength formulation ensures low dose requirements and maximal protection. Is also able to inhibit calcite scales, phosphate formation as well as a range of other scales. Particularly suited to treatment of MBR/biological digestion waters.

Advantages
- RO antiscalant designed to inhibit silica and phosphate scale formation in membrane separation processes
- Inhibits calcium carbonate scale up to a Calcium Carbonate Nucleation Index (CCNI) of 2.3
- Inhibits calcium phosphate scale formation even in the presence of coagulant carryover, disperses precipitated scales
- Effectively stabilises metal ions and disperses insoluble metal oxides in the reject
- Controls calcium fluoride, calcium sulphate, barium sulphate and strontium sulphate scales in waters with a high fouling potential
- Inhibits amorphous silica and silicate scale formation. Disperses colloidal silica
- Environmentally compatible, especially where discharge of waste into the environment is a concern
- Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 60.

Safety and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place. In accordance with good safety practice, handle with care and avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated contact with skin. For more information, see the Safety Data Sheet provided with this product.
Chemical Feeding and Control
Injection:
AWC A-110 should be injected continuously into the RO feedwater line, always downstream of multimedia filters, and preferably downstream of the cartridge filters in the presence of a static mixer. In the absence of a static mixer, dosing upstream of the cartridge filters will serve as a substitute to improve mixing.
Dosing:
The dosage required to inhibit scale formation will typically be in the range of 1- 5 ppm, depending on feed water quality and system operating parameters. Dosage should be determined by modelling using AWC Proton® membrane antiscalant projection software.
