Appendix #13: Continuous Control of CO2 as RO pretreatment
Clack Corosex® II (MgO) can be mixed with Clack Calcite (CaCO
3
) media to treat
acidic, low pH waters to remove free carbon dioxide (CO
2
). For freebed filters,
upflow is recommended with occasional backflushing, to help prevent cementing. A
minimum of 50% Calcite is also recommended to prevent cementing.
By neutralizing the free carbon dioxide in water, Corosex® II and Calcite can correct
low pH water conditions and render the water non-corrosive and more conducive for
CO
2
removal by the RO system. Since this media is passive, it often eliminates the
need for caustic injection on acidic waters.
Corosex® II, being a highly reactive magnesium oxide, is used most effectively
where pH correction is substantial or high flow conditions are in use. Corosex® II,
being soluble to acidity, will have to be replenished periodically. However, under
certain low flow conditions MgO may overcorrect and create a basic condition.
It is important to combine Calcite with Corosex® II to mitigate the rapid neutralization
properties of Corosex with the slower reacting properties of Calcite, effectively
reducing potentially basic (high pH) properties due to overcorrection.
SnowPure recommends a mixture of between 10% and 20% Clack Corosex® II with
Clack Calcite media, depending on the pH and CO
2
content of the feedwater.
Corosex® II is recommended over plain Corosex® because it is higher in purity and
slower reacting.
Since Corosex and Calcite will add some hardness to the water, antiscalant levels
may need adjusting or the system may require a softener before the RO.
