Antiscalant for High Silica Water from Innova Corporate addresses a critical challenge in Agra's groundwater and surface water sources – elevated silica levels (up to 80-120 ppm as SiO2) in certain industrial zones, particularly near Sadar Bazaar and industrial areas. Silica scaling is problematic in reverse osmosis systems because it forms hard, glassy deposits that are difficult to remove chemically. Our specialized antiscalant contains amine-functionalized polymers and organophosphonates that prevent silica polymerization and magnesium silicate formation. For Agra's textile dyeing units and petrochemical small-scale industries operating RO plants, this product enables water recovery up to 75% without silica fouling. The antiscalant works by modifying silica particle surface charge, keeping them dispersed in the reject stream. It is effective up to 200 ppm silica concentration and at pH 7-10. In Agra's hot climate (45°C+), where silica solubility decreases, our formulation maintains stability and prevents amorphous silica deposition on membrane surfaces. Field trials in Agra's leather tanneries (chrome tanning processes) showed a 50% extension in membrane cleaning intervals. The product is biodegradable and meets discharge norms for Agra's CETP (Common Effluent Treatment Plant) requirements.
In calculating the dose rate of Tacelene Chem-7066 for industrial units in Agra, the membrane manufacturer's operating limits and local feed water quality should be strictly considered. All dose rate calculations for the city's water systems should be made on the computer projection programme "e-WATER 5.0", which calculates the SCR for Silica based on regional mineral profiles.
Generally recommended dosage for Agra facilities is 1 ppm in the feed water for every 6 to 7ppm of total silica in the feed water, depending on the operating pH and temperature of the local processing environment.
At 25°C, pH 7 to 7.5 with 240mg/l silica in the concentrate, Tacelene Chem-7066 is normally dosed at 5.0 to 10 mg/L. For operations within Agra, Tacelene chem.-7066 can be diluted with product water and should be applied continuously by means of a suitable metering pump. Continuous feed and correct levels are essential for the capital city's machinery, since silica fouled membranes are difficult to clean.
When both dissolved and colloidal silica is present in the Agra water supply, silica fouling can be difficult to predict because of the complexity of the silica reaction chemistry.
Preventing the formation of substrate material like insoluble calcium and iron salts is required in eliminating silica fouling for local tea and rubber industries. We recommend very effective auto flushing devices to be applied with the high silica waters typically found across Agra.
Tacelene chem.-7066 has been developed specially as a SILICA inhibitor, for waters with SCR <1.3 to 4.2 mg/l.
For Ipb/Ksp ratios < 3 the preffered product of choice is Tacelene Chem-7065; for ratios 2.8 to 7.0, INNOVA MT 065 is normally dosed at 5.0 to 25 mg/L in the concentrate, which is equivalent to 2.5 to 6 mg/L in the feed water, dependent on the system recovery.
INNOVA MT 065 can be diluted with product water and should be applied continuously by means of a suitable metering pump. Continuous feed is essential since calcium sulphate is difficult to remove once precipitation has occurred.
Do not store the material in open, store in cool dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. This product exhibits very low order of oral toxicity. No special care is required in handling this product.
Avoid contacts with eyes, skin and food. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with large amount of water several times. If swallowed drink large amount of water or milk and get medical attention immediately. Do not re-use the empty container, destroy it.
