FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are solid Potassium Formate and Potassium Formate brine interchangeable?
A: No. Solid material and clear aqueous brine have different delivered potassium formate content, water balance, density and handling requirements. A brine purchase should state concentration, density at a specified temperature and crystallization temperature; a solid purchase should state assay, moisture and physical form. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for Potassium Formate brine?
A: Define potassium formate concentration and test method, density with reference temperature, pH, crystallization temperature, chloride, insoluble matter, iron and other relevant metals. If a corrosion inhibitor is required, identify the system and dosage separately. Compare the batch COA with the approved brine formulation before unloading. -
Q:
What should be checked before receiving bulk Potassium Formate solution?
A: Confirm tanker or IBC material, previous cargo, cleanliness record, seals, net quantity, loading temperature and unloading connection. Verify concentration or density without introducing contamination and confirm compatibility with the receiving tank and process water. Shipment documents should include lot traceability, the applicable COA and the current SDS.
