Water Treatment Applications
Treatment as Solution
The divalent cation stability of the AMPS® monomer’s chemical structure results in polymers that are vey effective in water treatment processes:
- Low molecular weight copolymers and terpolymers are typically used to inhibit calcium, magnesium and silica scale in cooling towers, boilers, air washers and gas scrubbers. They also can be used as dispersants for silt and iron oxides and corrosion control.
- High molecular weight copolymers are typically used to precipitate solids in the treatment of industrial and mining effluent.
