CE-1000: Advanced Scale and Deposit Inhibitor
for Groundwater Remediation Systems
Overview of CE-1000
CE-1000 is a specialized, concentrated liquid inhibitor specifically engineered for use in groundwater remediation systems. Since its introduction in 1989, CE-1000 has been recognized as the most effective product available for controlling inorganic deposits, scale, and fouling in various treatment systems, including air strippers, activated carbon units, oil-water separators, and other equipment.
Key Features and Benefits
- Neutral pH, Non-Hazardous, Non-Toxic: CE-1000 is formulated to be safer to store and handle compared to conventional inhibitors. Its neutral pH and non-toxic properties make it an ideal choice for systems requiring rigorous safety standards.
- Effective Against Common Scaling Agents: It controls scale and deposits caused by hardness minerals, including calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, iron, silt, and other common mineral contaminants, without the need for pH adjustment or acid feed.
- Reduces Maintenance Costs: By preventing the formation of scale and deposits, CE-1000 minimizes system downtime and reduces the need for frequent maintenance, resulting in lower overall operating costs.
- Maintains System Efficiency: Consistent use of CE-1000 ensures that systems operate at optimal efficiency, prolonging the life of the equipment and maintaining performance levels.
- Low Dosage Requirement: CE-1000 is highly effective at low dosage levels, typically ranging from 10-15 ppm, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale operations.
- Compatibility with Target Pollutants: The formulation of CE-1000 ensures that it does not interfere with the treatment of target pollutants such as chlorinated solvents or hydrocarbons, ensuring the integrity of the remediation process.
- Environmentally Friendly: CE-1000 is an all-organic product and does not contain inorganic phosphates, which can precipitate and increase loading on filters and carbon beds or exceed phosphate discharge limits.
Application and Dosage Recommendations
The optimal feed rate of CE-1000 is determined based on specific water chemistry, equipment characteristics, and operating conditions. Glacier Laboratories offers comprehensive technical support to determine the most effective dosage for each system. Additionally, Glacier can provide necessary analytical services and supply LMI chemical metering pumps and related equipment for precise dosing.
Regulatory Compliance and Approvals
CE-1000 has consistently received approval for use in systems discharging to surface waters under NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permits. Glacier Laboratories is prepared to assist clients in obtaining or modifying permits required by regional water quality control boards for the use of CE-1000.
Performance Comparison
Extensive testing and field data have demonstrated CE-1000’s superior performance compared to alternative products. In head-to-head comparisons, CE-1000 achieves complete or near-complete inhibition of calcium carbonate scale, even at lower dosage levels than its competitors. This outstanding performance translates into significant cost savings and enhanced operational efficiency for end-users.
Product Specifications
CE-1000 is a concentrated liquid classified under freight class 55 as a water treatment compound. It is non-hazardous and falls under the NOI (Not Otherwise Indexed) category. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) with detailed handling and safety information are available upon request.
