What are the uses of HPMA chemicals?

HPMA is an acronym for Water Treatment Agents Hydrolyzed Polymaleic Anhydride, the main use of this product is:

HPMA is usually used together with organic phosphonate at dosage of 1-15ppm for circulating cool water system, oilfield fill water, crude oil dewatering and low-pressure boilers. HPMA has good scale inhibition (98%) and scale stripping properties. When used together with zinc salts, it can effectively inhibit carbon steel corrosion.

HPMA is also widely used in desalination plant of flash vaporization equipment, steam locomotive and petroleum pipeline. In addition, It can be used in combination with phosphonates to improve performance and reduce phosphonate levels and thus provide a superior alternative to acrylate-based polymers. It can also be used as dispersant and scale inhibitor in cooling water treatment, Reverse Osmosis systems and many other scale control applications.
