Innova Corporate (India) offers a specialized Antiscalant for High Silica Water, formulated to address the unique water chemistry challenges of Jodhpur. Silica is a major problem in Jodhpur's deep groundwater, with levels typically ranging from 30-60 ppm as SiO₂ (and even higher in deeper borewells, up to 80-120 ppm in some areas). Silica scaling is one of the most difficult problems in reverse osmosis (RO) systems, cooling towers, high-pressure boilers, and ZLD evaporators because silica scales are extremely hard, glass-like, and resistant to conventional acid cleaning. Once deposited, silica scale can only be removed using hazardous chemicals like hydrofluoric acid, making prevention critical - especially in Jodhpur where extreme water scarcity makes ZLD mandatory for many industries. Our High Silica Antiscalant is a proprietary polymer-based formulation that works by adsorbing on silica particle surfaces and preventing their aggregation and polymerization. It effectively controls amorphous silica, magnesium silicate, and calcium silicate scales even at silica concentrations up to 300 ppm and pH between 6.5-8.5. The product demonstrates excellent performance in RO membrane systems, cooling water circuits, and ZLD evaporators used by Jodhpur's stone & sandstone processing, gypsum & ceramics, handicrafts, and automobile ancillaries. It is particularly valuable for zero liquid discharge (ZLD) facilities where silica concentration can concentrate to very high levels (300-500 ppm) in reject streams. Our antiscalant is non-toxic, biodegradable, and compatible with all major RO membrane types. It also exhibits excellent dispersant properties for iron oxides and suspended solids - critical for Jodhpur's variable water quality. By using our High Silica Antiscalant, Jodhpur industries achieve up to 40% longer RO membrane life, reduce cleaning frequency by 50-60%, maintain stable permeate flow, improve ZLD evaporator run times (reducing downtime by 40-50%), and comply with RSPCB standards while maximizing water recovery in this water-scarce desert region.
In calculating the dose rate of Tacelene Chem-7066 for industrial units in Jodhpur, 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 Jodhpur 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 Jodhpur, 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 Jodhpur 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 Jodhpur.
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.
