Fifty Hour Performance of CO2Scale Inhibitor Test in a Serflash 10Recycling Flash Distilling Plant,

摘要

The report summarizes the results of a fifty hour test to determine the feasibility of using CO2gas to prevent scale formation in a high temperature desalination recycling flash evaporator. The tests show conclusive results that CO2can prevent scale formation on titanium surfaces at temperatures above 220F and increase heat transfer rates 25% above conventional Cu-Ni surfaces. The tests also conclude that the CO2requirement is well within the CO2recovery rate experienced aboard submarines.
