SCALE INHIBITOR

 

KRAFT PULPING

ATOSCALE HIB is a semi-viscous liquid crystal modifier engineered to prevent the formation of various scales (i.e. calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate and others), in batch and continuous digesters. When ATOSCALE HIB is used on a continual basis, acid de-scaling is reduced or no longer necessary. For best results, ATOSCALE HIB must be used non-stop. If the system runs short of ATOSCALE HIB, scale and rust will start to form immediately. ATOSCALE HIB will not remove existing scale, but will prevent the formation of additional scale.
ATOSCALE HIB PLUS is a semi-viscous liquid, specially formulated to reduce, prevent or eliminate various types of scale in batch and continuous digester and evaporator systems. ATOSCALE HIB PLUS is designed to sequester various salts (such as carbonates and sulfates of sodium, calcium, barium and potassium), hold them in solution and/or suspension, and disperse them into the system, preventing deposition on the heat transfer tube and other surfaces. ATOSCALE HIB PLUS also sequesters metal ions such as iron, manganese, and magnesium. ATOSCALE HIB PLUS will not remove existing scale, but will prevent the formation of additional scale in the system. When ATOSCALE HIB PLUS is used on a continuous basis, the following benefits can be expected:

1. High sequestration: The ability to complex metal ions at stoichiometric concentration.
2. Hydrolytic stability: Resists decomposition in aqueous solutions even at elevated temperatures and pH extremes.
3. Crystal growth modification: Prevents hard scale deposition.
4. Elimination of costly acid cleaning.
5. Enormous reduction in downtime.
6. Reduction in steam consumption.
7. Cost effective.

 

MECHANICAL PULPING

ATO KALINHIB is a semi-viscous liquid engineered to prevent the formation of diverse scale (especially calcium oxalate) in the evaporator system of ammonium sulfite mills (red liquor). When ATO KALINHIB used on a continual basis, acid de-scaling of the system will be reduced or eliminated. For best results, ATO KALINHIB must be used on a non-stop basis. If the system runs short of ATO KALINHIB, scale will start to form immediately. ATO KALINHIB  will not remove existing scale, but will prevent the formation of additional scale. Boil out or de-scaling the system with our product ATO IBB (scale and sludge remover) prior to the injection of ATO KALINHIB  is recommended.
ATO COMPLEX is a unique liquid blend of chemicals designed to prevent scale formation and to lubricate the cutting edge of refiner disks in thermo-mechanical pulp systems. ATO COMPLEX prevents mineral salts from forming, thus reducing friction to a minimum, which in turn dramatically increases the life of the refiner disks. To be most effective, ATO COMPLEX must be used on a continuous basis.
