DESALINATION ECONOMICS IMPROVE WITH DISCOVERY OF SCALE CONTROL ADDITIVE

Abstract

New technology developed by CIBA‐GEIGY (UK), in collaboration with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, looks like providing a breakthrough in the control of scale in high temperature desalination plant. CIBA‐GEIGY are claiming that the product, based on a polymeric carboxylic acid, is effective with brine temperatures up to 250°F, has minimal handling, storage and corrosion problems and will reduce operating and capital costs on new high temperature plants. The company has designated the product Belgard EV and it is an extension of the recently introduced Belgard 800 range of water treatment chemicals.
