“At Metito, we deliver what

we promise”


Metito employs the most up to date cooling water treatment technology and solutions that help protect systems and optimise efficiency which ensures the lowest possible cost of operation, a reduced water footprint and an improved heat transfer and treatment effectiveness. Developed to satisfy the needs of the future cooling water market, Metito’s products include solutions for district cooling, treated sewage effluent-fed systems as well as conventional open and closed cooling systems. On-going research and development remain focused on ‘green solutions’ to continue addressing environmental challenges and capitalising on viable solutions. Metito cooling water treatment products and technologies include:

• A comprehensive range of pre-commission cleaning, flushing and passivating agents

• Inhibitors to control scale corrosion and fouling

A wide range of oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, biodispersants and microbiological control systems that can protect the wet and warm surfaces which normally attract microorganisms. If uncontrolled, the resulting bio-films can result in microbiologically influenced corrosion and system efficiency issues

Computer simulation programs to optimise the system with respect to saturation indices, retention times, half life, cycles of concentration and choice of treatment. Selection of water treatment programmes is made on technical and cost merits, which in turn requires specialist knowledge of our sales engineers and technical centre.

The importance of selecting the correct water treatment for economic operation and for extending the life of both the boiler and the associated equipment cannot be over emphasised. Water treatment is essential to protect boilers, feed and condensate systems alike and even more so in modern boilers of a high evaporative rate and heat flux.

All untreated waters carry natural contaminants including dissolved gases, suspended and dissolved minerals. Metito understands this and takes its evaluation and follow-up proposals for the recommended treatment regimes.

Water treatment is essential for addressing the following needs:• Prevention of corrosion in feed, boiler, steam and condensate systems• Minimisation of scale deposition• Economic boiler operation without carryover

At Metito we provide a complete range of products suitable for every type of boiler from low pressure

steam generators to high pressure water tube systems, including:

• Volatile and Non Volatile Oxygen Scavengers • Phosphate Residual Programs• All Polymer Programs• Alkalinity Builders• Defoamers• Sludge Conditioners• Condensate Treatments• A comprehensive range of filming, neutralising and combined amines for condensate treatment and pH correction

Boiler WaterTreatment


Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance can be negatively impacted by impurities that build up on the membrane surface during operation. Suspended solids, microorganisms and mineral scale can foul membrane elements. These deposits can cause loss in output and/or rejection levels and reduce total system performance.

To address this issue, specific chemistries have been developed to greatly reduce deposits, impurities, and scale in such membranes. Antiscalants, antifoulants and RO cleaners are specially designed chemicals that keep these contaminants from attaching to the membrane surface and optimise the performance of the RO system membranes.

Metito offers a full line of RO chemicals that are compatible with all types of membranes, with approvals and accreditations from market leading membrane manufacturers as well as the NSF Standard 60 certification. The chemicals Metito offer are highly effective at low dose rates in a wide range of feedwater types (brackish, seawater, fresh), and across the whole pH spectrum. The chemicals are also compatible with polyelectrolytes. Metito also offers, green chemistries with full biodegradation, but zero biofouling potential.

Metito’s solutions are computer modelled to include full evaluation of all mechanical, operational and chemical parameters as well as the cationic/anionic feedwater analysis. We review the specific-system information and provide recommendations to achieve the desired operational results. The company complements this with a wide array of technical support services such as: technical field support, fouling potential evaluation and membrane autopsy services.


A steadily growing world population is facing a challenging future with a resource that is becoming increasingly more scarce - clean potable water. This critical resource may soon become a luxury item and is already commonly referred to as ‘blue gold’. However, there exists a large range of solutions to treat, disinfect and render water potable.

Metito leads the water and wastewater market making available, virtually, all available potable water treatment technologies including: reverse osmosis, filtration, a full range of disinfection options and numerous scale / corrosion inhibition programmes to protect infrastructure pipework systems. The company aims at providing solutions for drinking water, to extend the lifetime of water treatment plants, minimise operating costs, and manage microbiological impact on site (e.g. Legionella-related support).

Metito’s services include professional consultation, water analysis, product selection and technical support from experienced advisors together with full microbiological testing at accredited laboratories.

Potable and DomesticWater Systems

Every swimmer adds 1.000.000 to 1.000.000.000 microorganisms to the water with the water itself containing further microorganisms. To kill harmful pathogens, disinfectants must be added to the swimming pool water.

Disinfectants used to disinfect swimming pool water must meet certain requirements. They must be harmless and non-irritating to swimmers and attendants and they must be active in small concentrations and maintain their activity for a long time with much greater persistence than required in many other applications.

In addition to biocides, a swimming pool programme generally needs to address other common challenges including algal growths, cloudy water, stains, deposits, odours and foaming. Metito provides a full range of treatment solutions comprising equipment and chemical options to satisfy such specific needs.

There are also added benefits to the company’s treatment regimes including: pH stabilisation, eye and skin irritation elimination, optimum pool cleanliness by loosening existing scum and scale, preventing new scum and scale from forming, helping remove tanning oils from the side of pool. The latter treatments help save water and facilitates the maintenance required for swimming pools by keeping filters clean.
