Genesis LF (Broad Spectrum Antiscalant)
Description Use
Genesis LF has been developed as a broad spectrum liquid antiscalant for use in Reverse Osmosis and Nano-filtration systems. It is effective at preventing inorganic scale, particularly calcium carbonate, iron and silica thus reducing the frequency of membrane replacement and cleaning. Genesis LF has proven to be effective at a Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) of +2.6 which means that systems can be designed and operated at their optimum recovery rates. By reducing the amount of feed water used and concentrate to be discharged, significant savings can be made to both capital and operational costs.
Application guide
Genesis LF should be dosed continuously to the feed water upstream of the cartridge filters.Typical dosage rates are 2 – 4 mg/L.The optimum dosage rate can be calculated using the Genesis Membrane Master software. Genesis LF can be diluted and is fully miscible with water in all proportions.
Health and safety
Genesis LF is an aqueous solution of neutralised phosphonic acid. It has been approved for use in potable water applications and does not contribute to assimilable organic carbon (AOC), which can act as source of nutrient for micro-organisms. Genesis LF is compatible with carbon steel and other commonly used materials of construction
