Description

PRO-pHx provides an answer for the high cost of acid disposal & acid replacement for industrial acids used for activation, passivation, stripping, pickling & cleaning. It is an inorganic, odorless treatment, and has not fumes or outgassing. It meets OSHA-20 Non-Hazardous Specifications.

PRO-pHx Reagent Chemistry drops metals, organics and impurities out of solution which build up the pickling, stripping, activation, passivation and cleaning process. This frees up the remaining available acid in solution, extending the acid life indefinitely, decreasing the quantity of new acid necessary to maintain the desired dilution of acid to water ratio. The only replacement acid necessary is the small amount lost during drag out, evaporation and production. Filtration and acid spikes are necessary.

When PRO-pHx is added to acid in the ratio of 1% to the total acid / water volume, the treatment drops metals, organics and impurities which build up in the acid during the pickling process out of solution. Filtration then removes the impurities from the acid. The only additional acid needed is the small amount of replacement acid (Acid Spike) necessary to replace the acid lost during production drag out and evaporation.
