Summary

Product identification

ROPUR RPI-4500A is a scale inhibitor specially designed for RO systems.

General

RPI-4500A is a stabilized solution of organic phosphonates and polyacrylates. It is effective against calcium, strontium, and barium sulphate scales, as well as calcium carbonate scales. It also prevents silicate scale formation. RPI-4500A is suitable for use with polyamide, cellulose acetate, and polyether membranes with anionically charged surfaces.

Application and Dosage

  • Use: Highly efficient scale inhibitor for cellulose acetate and polyamide membranes. No interaction with membrane material.
  • Dosage Control: Proportional to feed water flow using standard metering pumps.
  • Fitting Materials: PE, PP, or coated steel.
  • Dilution: Can be diluted with water in any ratio. Injecting undiluted or as a solution up to 10% is recommended. Diluted solutions must be consumed within 48 hours.
  • Dosage Level: 1 – 8 ppm as delivered, depending on operating conditions and water composition.
  • Handling: Easy to handle, no aggressive components. pH is slightly acidic.
  • Container Cleaning: Clean containers with a 10% sodium bisulphate solution periodically to avoid biological fouling.

Physical Properties

  • Appearance: Clear, slightly yellow liquid
  • Density: 1.14 – 1.17 g/cm³
  • pH-value: 4.0 – 4.3
  • Freezing point: -10 °C
  • Boiling point/boiling range: 100 – 105 °C
  • Solubility in water: Unlimited

RPI-4500A complies with EU regulations CEN/TS 164, EN 15039, and EN 15040 for the treatment of water intended for human consumption.

Storage & Handling

  • Classification: Not classified as a hazardous chemical (GGVE/GGVS, ICOA/IATA).
  • Precautions: Follow standard regulations and precautions for chemical products.
  • Storage Temperature: +2 °C to +35 °C.
  • Containers: Supplied in containers suitable for air or sea transportation.
  • Further Information: Refer to the safety data sheet.

Packaging

  • Polyethylene container (PE): 23.5 kg net
  • Standard drum (PE): 240 kg net
  • Container (PE): 1,100 kg net
