Sulphate Reagent 1

Overview

Sulphate reagent 1 measure sulphate, which drives scaling in reverse osmosis and cooling systems, feeds sulphate-reducing bacteria in anaerobic conditions and attacks concrete. It is also regulated in drinking water, where high levels taste bitter.

Key features

• Covers scaling potential, concrete attack and drinking water compliance
• Ready-made reagent, so there is no weighing or dilution on the bench
• Supplied in the 10 g size, item code PLpow10SULPHA1

Sulphate reagent 1 specifications

Applications

Reverse osmosis scaling assessment, cooling water chemistry, groundwater characterisation, concrete durability investigations, and potable water compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Why does sulphate matter in reverse osmosis?
Calcium and barium sulphate scales are among the least soluble met on membranes, so the sulphate figure sets how far the plant can be pushed.

Does this reagent work on its own?
Several photometric methods use two or three reagents in sequence. Check which components your method lists, and we will make sure the set is complete before it ships.

How should liquid reagents be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, with the cap firmly closed. Note the batch and expiry on the bottle, and work through the oldest stock first.
