The Function and Application of Scale Inhibitors and Fungicides

Scale inhibitor and bactericide is a chemical additive commonly used in water treatment systems, which has the following main functions and uses:

Scale inhibition effect: Scale inhibitors and fungicides can inhibit the formation of scale and sediment in water. The presence of hardness salts, rust, organic matter, etc. in water can form a scale layer on the surface of pipelines, equipment, or inside heat exchangers, reducing heat transfer efficiency and causing equipment blockage. The use of scale inhibitors and fungicides can reduce the occurrence of these problems and maintain the normal operation of the water system.

Bactericidal effect: Scale inhibitors and fungicides have the ability to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. In a closed environment, water systems are prone to the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, leading to water quality deterioration and hygiene issues. The addition of scale inhibitors and fungicides can effectively control the reproduction of microorganisms and maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of water.

Cleaning and maintenance: Scale inhibitors and fungicides can be used to clean and maintain water treatment equipment and pipeline systems. They can remove scale layers, impurities, and precipitates, prevent equipment corrosion and blockage, and extend the service life of the equipment.

Water quality improvement: By adding appropriate scale inhibitors and fungicides, the quality of water can be improved. They can reduce the hardness of water, regulate the pH value of water, reduce soluble salts in water, and thus improve the quality and availability of water.

In summary, scale inhibitors and fungicides have functions of scale prevention, sterilization, cleaning, and maintenance in water treatment, and are widely used in industrial production processes, water supply systems, cooling and circulating water systems, swimming pools, and other places that require water quality control and equipment normal operation.
