Overview of the APESPA Scale Inhibitor

The APESPA BWM 230 is an advanced chemical treatment designed to protect reverse osmosis (RO) membranes from scale and mineral deposits. By conditioning feed water before it reaches the RO unit, it ensures consistent performance, minimizes fouling, and reduces maintenance downtime.

Key Benefits

Enhanced Membrane Efficiency

• Prevents Hard Scale Formation: Bonds with dissolved salts to form non-adherent compounds, keeping membrane surfaces and internal piping free of crusty deposits.
• Optimized Flow Rates: With fewer blockages, water moves through the system more easily, boosting throughput and reducing the energy required for high-pressure pumping.

Extended Equipment Lifespan

• Reduced Fouling & Corrosion: Protects delicate RO membranes and downstream components from abrasive scale, cutting back on frequent replacements.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: By preventing mineral buildup, the BWM 230 extends cleaning cycles and decreases the need for expensive repairs.

How It Works

1. Introduction to Feed Water: The inhibitor is dosed into the raw water stream before it enters the RO unit.
2. Molecular Interaction: APESPA’s proprietary formula reacts with scale-causing ions (calcium, magnesium, etc.) to form harmless, soluble complexes.
3. Continuous Protection: These complexes remain in solution and are flushed away in the concentrate stream, leaving membranes clean and fully operational.

Why Choose APESPA BWM 230?

• Tailored for RO Systems: Specifically engineered to meet the challenges of high-recovery desalination plants.
• Consistent Performance: Maintains peak water production even under variable feed-water conditions.
• Desert-Ready Solution: Ideal for arid regions and saline sources where scale potential is high.
