ANTIFOAM

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TiraTreat®M45 is a highly effective antifoam based on alkoxylate linear alcohols, formulated to control foaming and priming in seawater distillation plants. As a non‐ionic defoaming agent TiraTreat®M45 is nonsaponifiable and therefore has an excellent long term effect. Its chemical stability ensures that this product is not decomposed.

ADVANTAGES

Provides excellent operating efficiency. Imparts rapid knockdown of foam. Has excellent storage stability. Activity is not dependent on temperature. No need to alter dose level if top brine temperature (TBT) changes. Completely free of mineral oil and silicone. Complete synchronization with Antiscalent available in market. Cost effective, works at extremely low dosage rates.

ANTISCALENT

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TiraCare® PMA is a liquid formulation based on carboxylic acid copolymer sodium salt specifically formulated to control scaling and particulate fouling in seawater thermal distillation plants (MSF/MED). TiraCare® PMA has been developed with enhanced scale control properties to give improved control of fouling throughout the plant reducing cleaning frequencies and the associated costs. TiraCare® PMA is effective against alkaline scale formation across the full range of top brine temperatures (TBT) in use today, it is particularly recommended for use in plants operating at top brine temperatures greater than 100 o C where total control of particulate fouling and slugging is critical to maintaining thermal efficiency.

ADVANTAGES

  • Prevent scale formation in plants.
  • Cost effective concentrate.
  • Non-toxic suitable for automatic dosing and for use in potable water treatment plant.
  • Proven to be more effective than competitive products under a wide range of conditions.
  • Readily miscible with water in all proportions.
  • Comply with ANSI/NSF standard 60 for use in water desalination plants producing potable water.

FLOCCULANTS/COAGULANTS

TIRA® supplies a superior quality of polyelectrolytes carrying various charges and molecular weights flocculants and coagulants. These products are individually designed for use in the wastewater treatment industry, applications in sludge dewatering / thickening, floatation, clarification and decantation. Furthermore, TIRA manufactures odor control agents for wastewater treatment applications.

DISINFECTANTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS

Chlorine-based disinfectants are among the most frequently offered disinfectants and oxidizers for swimming pool treatment. Chlorine is usually added as hypochlorous acid (HOCl) or hypochlorite (OCl-)

Pool chlorine comes in several forms, including:

  • Pool chlorine tablets: Chlorine tablets dissolve in pool's water and come in a few sizes (usually 3” and 1”). These are placed in the skimmer basket or dispensed with a floating chlorine dispenser. If you have an automatic chlorinator installed, you will use that to dissolve the tablets.
  • Pool chlorine powder (granular chlorine): Chlorine powder is added directly to the pool water from the package according to the amount pool requires, which is based on the results of chemical tests. Granular chlorine works faster than tablets as tablets can be slow to dissolve.
Pros
  • Readily available
  • Effectively kills or inactivates pathogens and algae
  • Multiple use options (tablets, granules, Powder etc.)
  • Oxidizes materials in the water (translation: it destroys contaminants)
  • Works in indoor and outdoor pools
  • Works with all three pool types (with the exception of salt systems)
  • Maintains a residual concentration in the water
Cons:
  • Can leave a strong smell
  • May cause eye or skin irritation
  • Salt chlorine systems can wear down vinyl liner and concrete pools
  • Can bleach vinyl liners if there is prolonged contact (granules at bottom of pool, etc.)
  • Chlorine products sometimes contain other ingredients that dilute the amount of available chlorine content

ODOR CONTROLS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TIRAFRESH is a highly effective odor control agent specifically formulated for use in wastewater treatment plants and lagoons where bad smell is experienced due to many reasons.

ADVANTAGES

  • Cost effective concentrate. Works at very low dosage levels.
  • Safe for bacteria.
  • Environmentally friendly, safe to handle.
  • Does not affect STP performance.
  • Readily miscible with water in all proportions.
  • Works on the smell not the sludge.
