Periodic Water Table With James McDonald
What are polyphosphates? What are some examples of polyphosphates used in industrial water treatment? What function do they serve? Are they corrosion inhibitors or scale inhibitors or both or neither? How do they work? What pH range are polyphosphates most effective? Are they synergistic with any other water treatment chemicals? Can polyphosphates revert back to phosphate? What factors can increase this reversion? Do you use any chemical products with polyphosphates in them?
Key Quotes
“Our solid products differ from liquid formulations as we incorporate all active ingredients derived directly from raw materials. We handle solubility and neutralization in-house, resulting in highly active and functional chemistries that perform exceptionally well.” – Matt Haikalis
“When considering a solid product system, it’s essential to assess the right equipment and factors such as chemical management, handling, logistics, and disposal. Solids can alleviate these challenges and streamline processes.” – Matt Haikalis
“Utilizing our solid technology is remarkably simple. Whether through a filter feeder or a tower base, applying the product and generating enough spray with pressure enables rapid dissolution and solution creation.” – Matt Haikalis
“By equipping water treaters with effective tools and knowledge, we can elevate the industry and enhance product utilization. It’s about empowering individuals to achieve exceptional results.” – Matt Haikalis
“In our evolution over the past five years, we aimed to be known as a resource within the water treatment community. Our staff, with their industry experience and scientific expertise, enables us to provide valuable insights.” – Matt Horine
“Our concentrated solid treatments offer a remarkable advantage, being 4-6 times more potent than most liquid treatments. Additionally, our products never freeze, which is a significant benefit in colder climates.” – Matt Horine
