Solution Approach
RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Treatment Workflow
1
Water & System Assessment
Characterize the water and the system — hardness, alkalinity, pH, TDS/conductivity, microbial load, and the metallurgy and temperatures of the equipment being protected.
2
Program & Chemistry Selection
Match coagulants, flocculants, scale and corrosion inhibitors, biocides, or pH adjusters to the water profile and discharge limits, factoring compatibility with any existing program.
3
Jar Testing & Dosing
Confirm coagulant and flocculant dose and feed point by jar test, set inhibitor and biocide treat rates, and size packaging (drums, totes, bulk) to consumption.
4
Monitoring & Control
Track residuals, turbidity, ORP, corrosion coupons, and effluent compliance, adjusting chemistry and dose as feedwater and load change.

Diethylene Triamine Penta(Methylene Phosphonic Acid) Heptasodium Salt (DTPMP.Na7)
CAS 68155-78-2
Genuine, textbook fit. DTPMP is THE workhorse RO/NF membrane antiscalant — a penta-phosphonate with the broadest threshold-inhibition spectrum across CaCO3, CaSO4 and BaSO4, and the best thermal/high-pH stability of the commodity phosphonates, so it holds at the concentrate tail where LSI peaks. The heptasodium salt is the near-neutral, feed-dosable form (no pH depression on injection). CAS 68155-

Bis(HexaMethylene Triamine Penta (Methylene Phosphonic Acid)) BHMTPMPA
CAS 34690-00-1
Genuine fit for the specific high-LSI/high-hardness niche this page describes. BHMTPMPA is a high-charge-density, high-molecular-weight phosphonate marketed precisely for scale control where lower phosphonates lose Ca-tolerance and precipitate — i.e. high-hardness, high-alkalinity, elevated-temperature membrane and oilfield service. Directly serves CaCO3/CaSO4/BaSO4 threshold inhibition in the RO
