Sodium Metabisulphite (SMBS) is a white crystalline powder that serves as a potent reducing agent, antioxidant, and disinfectant. It is widely used in water treatment to remove excess chlorine (dechlorination) and to scavenge dissolved oxygen, thereby controlling corrosion in boilers and pipelines.
Key Characteristics & Benefits:
-
Effective Dechlorination Agent: Neutralizes free and combined chlorine in treated wastewater before discharge.
-
Oxygen Scavenger: Removes dissolved oxygen from water in boiler systems to prevent corrosion.
-
Antioxidant & Preservative: Also used in food and beverage industries (like distilleries) to preserve color and prevent spoilage.
-
Easy to Handle & Dose: Typically available as a powder or granules that can be dissolved into a solution for precise dosing.
