What is NEOTANNIN?

NEOTANNIN is our breakthrough technology designed to treat steam boilers, chillers, or any hot and cold closed circuits against corrosion and scale.

How does NEOTANNIN differ from conventional treatment programs for steam boilers?

Unlike conventional treatments, NEOTANNIN:

§  Does not add Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to water, enabling higher cycle concentrations without reducing blowdown.

§  Provides dual corrosion protection by removing oxygen and forming a corrosion-resistant tannate dynamic film on boiler steel.

§  Inhibits scaling phenomena by stabilizing lime scale and acting as a dispersant.

Allows boilers to operate within a conductivity range of 8,000 to 12,000 µS/cm without causing carryover or operational issues.

Is NEOTANNIN biodegradable?

Yes, NEOTANNIN is biodegradable, although it differs from conventional tannin in its composition and performance.

How much MK3100 dose is required for 1 ppm of O2?

For 1 ppm of O2, approximately 2 – 2.5 ppm of MK3103 is needed. The CO2 Neutralizing capacity (ppm MK3100/1 ppm CO2) ranges from 1.7 to 2 ppm.

At what temperature does NEOTANNIN thermally break down?

The decomposition temperature for all MK3100 range products is above 500°C.

Does MK3100 contribute to Cationic conductivity?

NEOTANNIN itself does not add conductivity to water, but our MK3100 range may include a pH booster that adds minimal conductivity.

Does MK3100 replace amines, sulfites, and phosphate dosing?

Yes, NEOTANNIN serves as an all-in-one technology, replacing traditional dosing methods. However, it remains inside the boiler for internal treatment.

How can NEOTANNIN be measured?

We have developed a photometric measurement test for NEOTANNIN detection.

What is the maximum operating pressure for NEOTANNIN technology? 

NEOTANNIN can operate effectively at pressures up to 150 bars.

Does NEOTANNIN clean the boiler during operation?

Yes, NEOTANNIN cleans the boiler from scale deposits over time, with the cleaning duration varying based on parameters such as scale thickness.

Is NEOTANNIN FDA approved?

Our MK3100 range for boiler treatment is FDA approved (Food and Drug Administration – 21 CFR 173 – 310 of 01 April 2000).

How do boilers tolerate NEOTANNIN's conductivity range?

High conductivity in boiler water can lead to operational issues like scaling and carryover. However, NEOTANNIN is designed to handle high conductivity levels effectively, unlike traditional treatments.

Does NEOTANNIN treat chillers?

Yes, NEOTANNIN effectively treats the water in any hot or cold closed cycle against corrosion, scale, and sludge.

What sets NEOTANNIN apart from classic Tannin or other Tannins in the market?

NEOTANNIN undergoes advanced purification methods to remove impurities, ensuring superior performance against scale and corrosion.

What is the maximum silica limit for low-pressure boilers with NEOTANNIN treatment? 

NEOTANNIN can tolerate silica levels up to 500 ppm in low-pressure boilers without causing scale or operational issues.
