Water Treatment Chemicals

A wide range of chemicals can be applied for the effective chemical treatment of water. These chemicals play an essential role in various processes, such as disinfection, corrosion inhibition, scale control, and pH regulation.

Types of Water Treatment Chemicals:

• Algaecides – Kill algae and blue-green algae in water to prevent algae blooms.
• Antifoams – Used to control foam in industrial processes
• Biocides – Used to kill harmful microorganisms in water. They are essential in ensuring water remains safe for use in industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, and swimming pools.
• Boiler Water Chemicals – Used for oxygen scavenging, scale inhibition, corrosion inhibition, antifoaming, and alkalinity control in boiler systems.
• Coagulants – Chemicals like aluminum and iron salts that are used to promote coagulation and remove suspended particles in water.
• Corrosion Inhibitors – Protect metal surfaces in water systems from corrosion by forming a protective layer on the surface.
• Disinfectants – Chemicals like chlorine, ozone, and chlorine dioxide are used to kill bacteria and viruses in water.
• Defoamers – Specialized chemicals used to reduce or eliminate foam in water treatment processes.
• Flocculants – Polymers used to promote the formation of flocs by binding particles together, which can then be easily removed from the water.
• Neutralizing Agents – Used to adjust pH levels by neutralizing acids or bases in the water. Common agents include sodium hydroxide and lime suspension.
• Oxidants – Chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and ozone that oxidize contaminants in water, improving quality by removing organic and inorganic compounds.
• Oxygen Scavengers – Prevent oxidation by removing dissolved oxygen in water, commonly used in boiler systems.
• pH Conditioners – Used to adjust the pH of water to prevent corrosion and improve water quality.
• Resin Cleaners – Chemicals used to clean and regenerate ion exchange resins that remove contaminants from water.
• Scale Inhibitors – Prevent the formation of scale by disrupting the crystallization process of minerals, keeping surfaces clean and reducing fouling in water systems.
