HydroFLOW®
LIMESCALE PROTECTION FOR STEAM BOILERS
The effective management of limescale is essential to the smooth operation of a steam boiler. The presence of hard scale (either calcium carbonate or formed from other minerals) in steam boilers impedes heat transfer, reducing efficiency and increasing fuel costs, and leads to additional maintenance time and costs.
CASE STUDY
CHEMICAL PLANT, WAPATO WASHINGTON, USA
RESULTS:
Within a few days, soft “putty” (wet calcite crystals) began washing out via blow-down, indicating the removal of the existing scale. Within 2.5 months, the stack temperature decreased and fuel consumption went from 400 to 275 gallons per day, translating to $150k savings annually (return on investment of 2-3 months). The customer decided to delay the replacement of the steam boilers.
OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“We tried HydroFLOW® in our steam boiler and it was amazing. We have our ROI within 6 months solely from the saving in fuel.” Facilities Manager, Hong Kong Hospital
“When our steam boiler was opened for annual maintenance after the installation of HydroFLOW® units, the old scale and debris at the bottom of the boiler were 5 times more than high boiler.” Plant Manager, Palm Oil Plantation.
