Applications

Corrosion Control - phosphates applied to water systems provide corrosion control.  There are many types of phosphates, and some are better than others for corrosion control.  Please see fact sheets for products and contact a Carus Chemical representative for specific application details.

Sequestering - polyphosphate or blends containing polyphosphate sequester iron and manganese in water systems.  Sequestering metals prevents these metals from being oxidized by chlorine, and thus, prevents rusty or brown staining.

Microbiological Control / Chlorine Improvement - application of polyphosphates or blends containing polyphosphates can help chlorine remove bacteria and biofilms, as well as improve chlorine residuals and lower chlorine demands.  For specific details, contact a Carus Chemical representative.

Well Cleaning / Disinfection - use of well cleaning chemical, such as F-25 Well Conditioner, can help remove coliform and nuisance bacteria from water wells.  Please see fact sheets for these products and contact a Carus Chemical representative for specific application details.

Filter Cleaning - use of filter cleaning chemical, such as F-25 Filter Conditioner, can help remove scale.  Please see fact sheets for these products and contact a Carus Chemical representative for specific application details.

Struvite Removal/Control- Struvite scale formation is a recognizable problem where anaerobic sludge digesters are part of the solids handling treatment scheme.  Chemical cleaning of the struvite scale and preventing future scale formation is the most cost effective method to eliminate unscheduled disruptions to plant dewatering operations.
