In the realm of industrial water treatment, especially concerning Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of membranes is paramount. While scale inhibitors prevent mineral precipitation, dispersants play a crucial role in managing suspended solids and small scale crystals that can foul membranes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a prominent manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals, highlights the significant advantages of using AA/AMPS (Acrylic Acid-2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid) copolymer as a high-performance dispersant.

The Critical Role of Dispersants in RO Systems

RO membranes act as fine filters, allowing water molecules to pass while blocking dissolved salts and impurities. Over time, suspended particles, colloidal matter, and even small, poorly formed scale crystals can adhere to the membrane surface, a process known as fouling. This fouling significantly reduces the membrane's permeability, increases the required operating pressure, and diminishes the quality of the permeate water. Effective dispersion is key to preventing this buildup by keeping particles from agglomerating and settling on the membrane surface.

AA/AMPS: Superior Dispersion Capabilities

Our AA/AMPS copolymer is an excellent choice for RO system dispersion due to its unique chemical properties. The presence of both carboxylic acid (-COOH) and highly polar sulfonic acid (-SO3H) groups in its polymer chain provides:

  • Electrostatic Repulsion: The charged groups on the AA/AMPS polymer create strong electrostatic repulsion between particles, preventing them from coming close enough to aggregate.
  • Steric Hindrance: The polymer chains adsorbed onto the surface of particles provide a physical barrier, further inhibiting agglomeration.
  • Enhanced Solubility and Stability: AA/AMPS remains soluble and stable across a wide range of pH and temperature conditions typically encountered in industrial water systems.
  • Synergy with Scale Inhibitors: When used in conjunction with scale inhibitors, AA/AMPS can enhance overall water treatment efficacy by effectively dispersing the inhibitor itself and any small scale crystals that may form.

This makes AA/AMPS a versatile chemical that can be purchased for diverse applications, including industrial cooling water systems, oilfield operations, and general water purification processes.
