What are some specific use cases for PBTC in industrial applications?
PBTC (2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid), as a kind of highly efficient water treatment agent, the specific use cases in industrial applications mainly include the following aspects:
1. Circulating Cooling Water Systa: PBTC is used as a corrosion and scale inhibitor in circulating cooling water systa, which can effectively prevent scale formation, improve the operating efficiency of the systa, and maintain good performance under high taperature, high hardness, and high alkalinity conditions.
2. Oilfield water injection systa: In the oilfield water injection systa, PBTC also plays the role of corrosion and scale inhibitor, which helps to maintain the normal operation of oilfield equipment and prolong the service life.
3. Industrial boiler water treatment: PBTC is also used in the water treatment process of industrial boilers to prevent scaling inside the boiler, improve thermal efficiency and ensure safe operation.
4. Detergent industry: PBTC can be used as chelating agent and metal cleaning agent in detergent industry to improve washing effect and cleaning efficiency.
5. Compounding with zinc salt: PBTC can be compounded with other water treatment agents, such as zinc salt, to form a synergistic effect and enhance the performance of scale inhibition and corrosion inhibition.
6. Increase concentration factor: PBTC can increase the concentration factor of circulating cool water to more than 7 times, which helps to save water resources and reduce aissions.
