Product Highlights
Professional FAQ for Seawater Desalination Application
Q1: What is the standard dosing dosage for seawater desalination systems?
A: The conventional dosing range is 3–5 mg/L. The specific dosage can be adjusted flexibly according to actual seawater quality parameters and system operating conditions to achieve optimal scale inhibition effect
Q2: What water is suitable for diluting this antiscalant? What is the maximum dilution ratio?
A: Dilute with RO permeate water or demineralized water only. The recommended maximum dilution multiple is 10 times to guarantee the chemical concentration and stable scale inhibition performance.
Q3: Can 1501W be dosed directly without dilution?
A: Yes. It supports both raw liquid direct dosing and diluted dosing. Direct dosing is applicable for large-scale seawater desalination projects, while diluted dosing is recommended for small and medium systems to ensure dosing accuracy.
Q4: How to maintain the dosing system to avoid microbial growth?
A: It is required to re-prepare the medicament solution every 5–7 days. Clean the dosing tank thoroughly before each reconfiguration to prevent microbial breeding and solution deterioration.
Q5: Where is the best dosing point in seawater RO systems?
A: The optimal dosing position is before the precision filter, which ensures full mixing of the chemical with seawater and maximizes the scale inhibition effect.
Q6: Is the phosphorus-containing formula harmful to seawater RO membranes?
A: No. The optimized low-phosphorus stable formula is non-corrosive and compatible with all mainstream membrane materials. It will not cause membrane degradation, fouling or damage during long-term operation.
Q7: How to handle accidental skin or eye contact?
A: The product is weakly acidic. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse the affected area continuously with plenty of clean water immediately for timely protection.

Performance and Use:
ProtecMBC® 1501W is a highly effective scale inhibitor for reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) systems, which prevents fouling on the membrane surface, improves water yield and quality, and reduces operating costs.
Product Features:
(1) Effective control of inorganic scaling in a wide range of concentrations, the maximum permissible value of LSI is 2.8 under the condition of no acid addition;
(2) It does not coalesce with iron and aluminum oxides and silicon compounds to form insoluble substances;
(3) It is particularly effective in controlling iron, aluminum and heavy metal pollutants, and the concentration of iron on the inlet side is allowed to be up to 8.0 mg/L;
(4) It can effectively inhibit the polymerization and deposition of silicon, and the concentration of SiO2 on the concentrated water side can reach 290 mg/L;
(5) Can be used for reverse osmosis CA and TFC membranes, nanofiltration membranes and ultrafiltration membranes;
(6) Excellent solubility and stability;
(7) Effective for feed water pH in the range of 5-10.
Usage:
The dosage of reverse osmosis scale inhibitor ProtecMBC®1501W is calculated according to the system water quality analysis report and the system operation, generally the dosage is 3-5mg/L. Within the recommended dosage range, it can control most of the calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, ferric hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and silica scale formation.
Preferably dosed prior to precision filters. Can be diluted or original liquid dosing, in order to dosing accuracy, generally used dilution dosing, dilution water is RO water or demineralized water, recommended dilution times not more than 10 times. Every 5-7 days to re-formulate the agent, note that before re-formulating the agent, should clean the drug box to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
Packing and Storage:
Reverse osmosis scale inhibitor ProtecMBC®1501W is usually packed in 25kg plastic drums or according to customer's specific requirements.
Safety Protection:
pay attention to labor protection when operating, should avoid contact with skin, eyes, etc., after contact with a large amount of water rinse.
