DESCRIPTION AND USE
Continuum AEC3119 is an alkaline treatment pro-gram containing Alkyl Epoxy Carboxylate (AEC). The AEC,a non-phosphonate calcium carbonate inhibitor, is the primary ingredient of the Continuum AEC tech-nology and is used as a patented deposit control agent. This product is a complete program contain-ing components to control corrosion and scale forma-tion in open recirculating cooling water systems over the alkaline pH range of 7.8 to 9.0 plus. The alkaline AEC programs are versatile and have been success-fully used in a broad range of
systems operating under variety of conditions.
AEC technology is a major breakthrough in calcium carbonate scale control. Figure 1 demonstrates the ability of AEC to inhibit calcium carbonate scale com-pared to other conventional inhibitors.
Organic phosphate inhibitors are susceptible to breakdown or reversion in the presence of chlorine leading to an inefficacy in carbonate inhibition. Figure 2 demonstrates that there is no loss of calcium car-bonate scale inhibition by AEC in the presence of chlorine. The AEC molecule is halogen stable.
This product contains an azole for copper and copper alloy corrosion protection.
