Sokalan RO 100
Reverse Osmosis Membrane Antiscalant

Description Sokalan RO 100 is an aqueous solution of a polycarboxylate with a low


molar mass.
It is a broad spectrum antiscalant designed to inhibit inorganic scale
formation in membrane processes.
Sokalan RO 100 is low-phosphorus chemistry.
Performance Sokalan RO 100 antiscalant offers a variety of performance and application
benefits:

Inhibits RO membrane scaling caused by the following:


Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
Calcium sulfate (CaSO4)
Barium sulfate (BaSO4)
D
 ispersant qualities reduce colloidal and silt fouling of membrane surfaces.
C
 ompatible with the thin film composite (polyamide) and cellulose acetate
RO membranes of the leading manufacturers.

Chemical reactivity Sokalan RO 100 is not affected by chlorine or other oxidizing biocides
under normal conditions of use. Sokalan RO 100 may be used in membrane
systems using chlorine and sodium metabisulfite.
Applications and dose level The recommended injection point is into the feed water downstream of any
filtration equipment and cartridge filters.
Sokalan RO 100 is miscible with water in all proportions. It may be applied
as product as it is, or as a solution in demineralized water or RO permeates.
A minimum dosing solution strength of 10% w/w is recommended.
Sokalan RO 100 should be dosed continuously and proportionately to the
feed water flow, to maintain the recommended dose level. The typical
dosage range is between 2 to 10 ppm. The dose level required is dependent
on the quality of the feed water and the saturation indices of the various
scale forming species present in the concentrated brine.

The specific dose level will be specified by the technical representative


and can also assist you in determining the appropriate dose rate for your
system.
Handling Sokalan RO 100 is an aqueous solution of an organic acid and as such is
corrosive in its concentrated form. Corrosion resistant dosing equipment
should therefore be used. Examples of suitable materials are 316L stainless
steel or plastics such as PE.
Environment, Health & Safety Please refer to latest Safety Data Sheet for detailed information on product
safety.
The product is not acutely toxic to aquatic organisms.
Sokalan RO 100 is certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for use in reverse
osmosis systems producing potable water.
Shelf life The shelf life of the product is min. 18 months from date of manufacturing if
it is stored in its sealed original packaging in a cool and dry place.
