Genesys MG is a high-performance reverse osmosis (RO)
antiscalant developed to prevent scale formation and fouling on RO
membranes. Manufactured by Genesys International Ltd., it is specifically
designed for membrane systems operating with feed waters containing high
levels of calcium, sulphate, barium, and strontium salts. The formulation
helps to extend membrane life, maintain consistent permeate flow, and ensure
optimal plant performance with reduced maintenance costs.
Product Overview
RO membranes are highly
efficient filtration units used in water purification and desalination plants.
However, scaling and fouling caused by dissolved salts and minerals can
drastically reduce their efficiency. Genesys MG acts as a powerful antiscalant
and dispersant, preventing scale deposits from forming on the surface of
membranes. It also helps to disperse colloidal and organic materials,
keeping the system clean and operational for longer periods.
This product has been
widely used in municipal water treatment, industrial process water
systems, power plants, and desalination facilities around the
world, offering consistent protection even under severe feed water conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent Scale Inhibition
Genesys MG effectively controls calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, barium sulphate, and strontium sulphate scales, even at very high saturation levels. It allows systems to operate safely at higher recoveries without the risk of precipitation. - Compatible with All Membrane Types
It is fully compatible with polyamide thin film composite membranes and other leading RO/NF membrane brands. It does not cause chemical degradation or membrane surface damage. - Improves Permeate Quality
By preventing scale buildup, Genesys MG ensures a steady and high-quality permeate flow. It helps maintain low salt passage and stable differential pressure across the membranes. - Reduces Operating Costs
The use of Genesys MG reduces the need for frequent membrane cleaning, replacement, or downtime. Lower cleaning frequency translates directly to longer membrane life and improved cost-effectiveness. - Highly Concentrated Formula
The concentrated liquid formulation means lower dosage rates and easy handling. It requires less storage space and reduces the cost of shipping and dosing equipment maintenance. - Environmentally Friendly
Genesys MG is designed to meet modern environmental standards. It contains no phosphate compounds, making it safer for discharge and more sustainable than conventional antiscalants.
Applications
Genesys MG is ideal foruse in a variety of RO and NF systems, including:
- Seawater Desalination Plants
Protects membranes against high scaling potential from seawater with high sulphate content. - Brackish Water Systems
Effective in inland brackish water plants where calcium and sulphate concentrations are high. - Municipal Water Treatment
Ensures reliable performance in public water supply systems with varying feed quality. - Industrial Water Treatment
Used in industries such as power generation, food and beverage, textiles, and electronics to maintain system reliability. - Wastewater Reuse Plants
Prevents scale formation during advanced wastewater recycling and tertiary treatment.

Dosage and Use
The dosage of Genesys
MG depends on feed water chemistry, system design, and recovery rate.
Typically, the dosage range is 2 – 5 mg/L, though it can vary based on
scaling potential and operational conditions.
For best results:
- Pre-treatment
– Ensure the system feed is properly filtered (cartridge or multimedia
filtration) before dosing.
- Injection Point
– Inject Genesys MG continuously into the feed water upstream of the
cartridge filter or high-pressure pump.
- Dilution
– It may be used neat or diluted with permeate or RO product water. Use
only clean, non-chlorinated water for dilution.
- Monitoring
– Regularly monitor system performance parameters such as differential
pressure, conductivity, and recovery rate to ensure optimal dosing
efficiency.
Storage and Handling
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area
away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid freezing or prolonged exposure to high
temperatures.
- Use suitable chemical-resistant containers and
dosing pumps.
- Recommended storage temperature: 5°C to 30°C.
- Shelf life: Minimum 12 months from the date of
manufacture when stored in original packaging.
Health and Safety
Genesys MG is a low-hazard
liquid chemical when handled properly. It is non-flammable and does not
release toxic fumes under normal use. However, standard safety precautions
should be observed:
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing.
- Wear appropriate protective gloves, goggles, and
safety clothing.
- In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of
clean water.
- Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for detailed handling and first-aid information.
