Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) Applications
Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) is used across multiple industrial water treatment applications:
- Cooling Water Treatment: Controls calcium carbonate and mineral scale deposition on heat exchanger surfaces.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Systems: Prevents mineral fouling and extends membrane life in brackish and seawater RO plants.
- Boiler Water Treatment: Disperses sludge and iron oxide precipitates in low to medium-pressure boilers.
- Textile & Pigment Processing: Functions as a dispersing agent for pigments, dyes, and textile processing baths.
Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) Dosage & Dosing Guidance
The required dosage of Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) depends on feed water quality, operating temperature, system pressure, and total dissolved solids (TDS).
Typical Application Dosage Ranges
| Application Area | Typical Dosage Range* |
|---|---|
| Circulating Cooling Water | 2–10 mg/L (ppm) |
| Reverse Osmosis Feed Water | 1–5 mg/L (ppm) |
| Boiler Sludge Conditioning | 5–20 mg/L (ppm) |
*Indicative dosage ranges. Final dosage should be established through water analysis and technical evaluation.
