What is Ammonium Bisulphate (Oxygen Scavenger)?

Ammonium Bisulphate (NH₄HSO₃) is a clear to pale yellow aqueous solution widely used as an oxygen scavenger in boiler water treatment and oilfield applications. It reacts readily with dissolved oxygen, preventing oxidation, corrosion, and pitting of metal surfaces in pipelines, boilers, and storage systems.

As an efficient reducing agent, Ammonium Bisulphite removes oxygen from water, especially under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. It is valued for its fast action, low toxicity, and compatibility with other water treatment chemicals.

USES AND APPLICATIONS

INDUSTRIES

Ammonium Bisulphate is commonly used in:

• Boiler feedwater and condensate systems

• Oil and gas industry (injection and production systems)

• Pulp and paper industry

• Water treatment plants (as a corrosion inhibitor)

• Photographic and chemical industries (as a reducing agent)

KEY ADVANTAGES

• Effective oxygen scavenger – protects against corrosion

• Fast reaction with dissolved oxygen

• Ideal for pressurized and high-temperature systems

• Compatible with most water treatment programs

• Reduces maintenance and downtime caused by corrosion
