Ammonium Bisulphite Cobalt

Ammonium Bisulphite Cobalt – Premium Oxygen Scavenger for Industrial Systems

Ammonium Bisulphite Cobalt is a high-performance oxygen scavenger chemical designed for industries requiring advanced corrosion protection. Formulated with cobalt as a catalyst, it enhances the oxygen removal rate, making it highly effective for boiler feedwater treatment, oil & gas systems, and closed-loop water cycles.

This specialised blend is widely used across industrial plants in Australia to protect pipelines, heaters, and tanks from oxygen-induced deterioration. Its efficiency as a corrosion inhibitor makes it a reliable choice for critical operations demanding high purity and rapid oxygen reduction.

What Is Ammonium Bisulphite Cobalt?

Ammonium Bisulphite Cobalt is a modified solution of ammonium bisulphite (NH₄HSO₃), containing trace amounts of cobalt salt as a catalyst. This results in faster oxygen scavenging reactions and higher stability in feedwater systems. In American usage, it may be referred to as ammonium bisulfite (US spelling).

The product typically appears as a pale yellow to amber liquid with concentration levels ranging from 40% to 70%. It is water-soluble, reactive, and engineered to meet demanding industrial conditions.

Key Industrial Applications

As a rapid-response oxygen scavenger chemical, Ammonium Bisulphite Cobalt is crucial in environments where dissolved oxygen must be eliminated efficiently. Its primary uses include:

• Injection into boiler feedwater treatment systems to prevent rust and metal fatigue.
• Corrosion prevention in oil refineries, offshore drilling rigs, and petrochemical facilities, acting as a powerful corrosion inhibitor.
• Applicable in pulp and paper processing, especially where bleaching requires precise oxygen control.

Compared to other compounds, its formulation highlights the distinction between sulphite vs bisulphite, with the bisulphite variant providing controlled reactivity and better solubility for industrial dosing.
