A-Z LISTING 29 Desalination & Water Reuse Directory 2015 BASF SE At BASF, we create chemistry – and have been doing so for 150 years. As the world's leading chemical company, we combine economic success with environmental protection and social responsibility. •rough science and innovation, we enable our customers in nearly every industry to meet the current and future needs of society. For more than two decades BASF has been known for its innovative desalination products. •e eco-friendly antiscalant Sokalan® PM 15 I is an industry benchmark for resource efficient thermal seawater desalination and is approved for use in major MED and MSF thermal seawater desalination plants world-wide. •e outstanding scale-inhibiting performance of Sokalan® PM 15 I enables smooth operation also at higher temperatures combined with energy savings and causes no eutrophication in water bodies. Additional operational cost savings can be achieved due to minimized cleaning requirements and reduced dosage rate and higher output. Sokalan® AF is a pure organic, silicone free antifoam that provides excellent foam control for thermal desalination processes at low dosage rates. BASF's Sokalan® RO range of high- performance membrane antiscalants has been developed focusing on sustainability and low environmental impact while considering specific customer requirements for resource efficient Reverse Osmosis desalination. •e high performance chemical pretreatment with Sokalan® RO antiscalants controls inorganic salts, metal hydroxides, and colloids in RO feed water. Its unique performance characteristics provide users with more complete control of system feed water chemistry, reducing membrane fouling and minimizing cleaning requirements. •e use of the eco-friendly Sokalan® RO portfolio causes no or low eutrophication in water bodies. In addition BASF provides the Sokalan® RO-Xpert software with its unique feature of precisely predicting magnesium hydroxide scale formations. It is designed to recommend the most suitable and efficient Sokalan® RO antiscalant for a reverse osmosis system. With BASF's extensive experience in water and wastewater treatment the Magnafloc® LT coagulants and flocculants portfolio complements the offering providing advanced pre-treatment performance and residuals treatment in the RO desalination process. On the strength of consistently high filtrate quality, inge® ultrafiltration membrane technology is the ideal pretreatment of sea water in desalination plants in combination with reverse osmosis or thermal treatment. •e extremely small-pore and highly resilient filters of the Multibore® membrane reliably intercept not only particles, but also microorganisms such as bacteria or even viruses. •e highly- efficient ultrafiltration modules allow rapid and easy installation. •is makes planning a desalination plants much simpler, enabling low-cost installation and operation.
