NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a range of ATMP (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid) products tailored to meet the diverse requirements of various industrial sectors. Selecting the correct ATMP formulation is crucial for achieving optimal performance in scale and corrosion inhibition. This guide will help you navigate the choices available and identify the most suitable ATMP product for your specific application.

ATMP is typically available in two primary forms: as an aqueous solution, usually around 50% active content, and as a solid crystalline powder, which is typically 95% or higher in active content. The choice between liquid and solid ATMP often depends on factors such as handling convenience, storage conditions, and the specific application requirements. Liquid ATMP is generally easier to dose and incorporate into existing water treatment systems, while solid ATMP might be preferred in regions with extremely cold climates where liquid solutions could freeze, or for specific formulation needs.

When considering ATMP for scale prevention in industrial water systems, the concentration and purity are key factors. Our standard 50% aqueous solution is widely used in recirculating cooling water systems for power stations, oil fields, and central air-conditioning. For applications requiring higher purity or where the presence of water is undesirable, the solid crystalline powder form is an excellent choice. Both forms exhibit excellent chelation, low threshold inhibition, and lattice distortion abilities, making them effective against calcium carbonate scale and other mineral deposits.

In many industrial water treatment programs, ATMP is not used in isolation but is formulated with other chemicals to achieve synergistic effects. Common co-formulants include other phosphonates like HEDP, polycarboxylic acids, and biocides. These blends can provide a broader spectrum of protection, offering enhanced scale and corrosion inhibition, as well as controlling biological fouling. For instance, ATMP is often compounded with organophosphorus acids and polycarboxylic acids to create all-organic alkaline water treatment agents. Understanding these synergistic relationships can help in optimizing your water treatment regimen.

As a robust corrosion inhibitor for industrial water systems, ATMP’s efficacy can also be enhanced when used in combination with other corrosion inhibitors, such as zinc salts or other phosphonates. The optimal dosage for ATMP varies depending on the water quality, operating conditions, and the specific contaminants present. Typically, dosages range from 1-20 mg/L for scale inhibition and 20-60 mg/L for corrosion inhibition. However, it is always recommended to conduct a thorough water analysis and consult with our technical experts at NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. to determine the most effective dosage and formulation for your unique industrial needs.
