Scale Removal Systems




This environentally friendly technology will Prevent the formation of scale and Remove existing scale.

Most process water contains impurities. Mineral deposits from impurities build up on the interior surfaces of process water piping and on heat transfer surfaces. This is called scale. It reduces total water flow, decreasing machine efficiency and causing increased maintenance cost and downtime. Additionally, other solids and bacteria from many sources contribute to the impurity of process water.

Treating process water to reduce mineral impurities may be accomplished either by ion exchange (soft water) to offset the negative effects of impurities or by adding ions to impure particles, thereby prohibiting crystalline particle buildup.
