Advanced Dispersant Technologies

Preventing Particle Buildup & Maintaining System Efficiency

In industrial water systems, the invisible threat of particulate accumulation can lead to significant efficiency losses, equipment damage, and system failures. ETI’s comprehensive line of advanced dispersants represents the cutting edge of particle control technology, designed to keep your systems clean, efficient, and operating at peak performance.

The Critical Role of Dispersants in Water Treatment

Dispersants serve as the first line of defense against particle deposition in industrial water systems. Unlike scale inhibitors that prevent crystal formation or biocides that kill microorganisms, dispersants work by modifying the surface properties of particles, preventing them from adhering to equipment surfaces and keeping them suspended for easy removal through blowdown or filtration.

This critical function protects against three major threats to system efficiency:

Scale and Mineral Deposits – By dispersing mineral particulates before they can accumulate on heat transfer surfaces, dispersants maintain thermal efficiency and prevent flow restrictions.

Biological Fouling – Through specialized formulations that disrupt biofilm formation and disperse microbial colonies, our products enhance biocide effectiveness and prevent biological fouling.

Suspended Solids Accumulation – By maintaining particles in suspension, our dispersants prevent sedimentation in low-flow areas and reduce the risk of under-deposit corrosion.

The result: cleaner systems, improved heat transfer, reduced maintenance requirements, and extended equipment life.

ETI's Advanced Dispersant Technologies

Our comprehensive dispersant line represents decades of chemical engineering expertise and application-specific optimization. Unlike commodity chemicals, ETI’s dispersants feature:

Polymer Engineering Excellence

At the heart of our dispersant line is our proprietary polymer technology, featuring:

  • Advanced molecular weight distribution for targeted performance

  • Optimized functional group density for enhanced particle interaction

  • Thermal stability for performance under extreme conditions

  • pH tolerance for effectiveness across operating conditions

  • Synergistic compatibility with other treatment components

The result is superior performance even in challenging high-solids environments where conventional dispersants fail.

Advanced Formulation Expertise

Our dispersant formulations are engineered for specific applications and challenges:

  • High-performance dispersants for cooling water systems facing severe fouling conditions. These formulations maintain effectiveness even in high-hardness, high-alkalinity waters where conventional products quickly become overwhelmed.
  • Specialized boiler dispersants featuring exceptional thermal stability and efficacy under pressure. These products keep boiler internals clean while complementing your scale inhibition and oxygen scavenging program.
  • Closed-loop system dispersants that maintain clean heat transfer surfaces while preventing particulate accumulation in low-flow areas. These formulations provide long-term protection without frequent chemical additions.
  • Biodispersants are specifically engineered to penetrate and disrupt biofilms while enhancing biocide performance. These specialized formulations address the unique challenges of biological fouling in industrial water systems.
  • Wastewater-focused dispersants that enhance clarification processes and improve solid-liquid separation. These products improve treatment efficiency while reducing chemical consumption.

Synergistic System Protection

While powerful as standalone products, our dispersants are engineered to work synergistically with your complete treatment program. This integrated approach provides:

  • Enhanced scale inhibitor effectiveness through improved crystal modification

  • Improved biocide performance through biofilm disruption

  • Reduced corrosion rates by preventing under-deposit corrosion

  • Optimized filtration system performance through controlled particle size distribution

  • Side-stream mechanical filtration to ensure client systems are protected
