Citric Acid, Soluble Powder, Anhydrous, 25 Kg Bag
Citric acid is a biodegradable, non-toxic organic acid widely used in fish hatcheries as a cleaner and descaling agent. It is particularly effective at removing calcium carbonate deposits, iron stains, mineral scale, biofilm residue, and hard water buildup from hatchery equipment without the harsh corrosiveness associated with stronger mineral acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. Because citric acid breaks down naturally into environmentally benign compounds, it has become a preferred cleaning agent in many aquaculture facilities where environmental stewardship and worker safety are important considerations.
Citric acid is commonly used to clean:
- Egg incubation trays
- Heath trays
- Vertical incubators
- McDonald jars
- Fish transport tanks
- Fiberglass raceways
- Water distribution piping
- Diffusers and aeration equipment
- Pumps and impellers
- UV sterilizer quartz sleeves
- Heat exchangers
- Oxygen cones
- Flow meters
- Water quality probes (following manufacturer recommendations)
- Nets, buckets, and plastic equipment with mineral buildup
