Baypure® DS100 is not just a good inhibitor of calcium carbonate incrustation, but can also be used to avoid deposits of other sparingly soluble salts. Mention could be made here, for example, of calcium oxalate, which is present in high concentrations in sugar beet and spinach.

During the thickening of sugar beet juice in raw sugar production, preventing the precipitation of sparingly soluble calcium salts is very important indeed. The industry uses large quantities of organic polymers such as polyacrylates or copolymers which are more or less safe toxicologically but are not biodegradable. Tests have showed that Baypure® DS100 is equally effective but has the big advantage of a very favorable overall ecotoxicological profile.
