The Building Technologies division won the contract with DEWA for the supply of Antiscalant chemicals (water treatment solution) for the complete multi-stage flash desalination units at the Jebel Ali Power Station.

RO Antiscalants have been developed focusing on environmental compatibility while considering specific customer requirements that enable more efficient operation of reverse osmosis desalination plants. RO antiscalants control the scaling and snaring of inorganic salts, metal hydroxides and colloids in RO feed water.

The unique performance results in a more complete control of system feed water chemistry, reducing membrane pollution and minimizing cleaning requirements.

A 90-day trial of the Antiscalant with a modified formulation was conducted at the DEWA Jebel Ali Power station. The contract was won against intense competition from established market leaders and is considered as a major order for chemical business within Scientechnic.
