Boilers & Steam Generation
The physical reality of hard water cost
- Prevents scale on boiler tubes — 1/16" scale = 15% more energy; 1/2" = 70% energy lost
- Boiler efficiency is maintained at design specification throughout its life
- Steam quality is higher — drier, purer steam output
- Prevents dangerous hot spots and pressure drops caused by scale insulation
- Reduces risk of boiler tube failure, leaks, and catastrophic failure
- Reduces frequency and duration of boiler blowdown operations
- Extends boiler life significantly — massive capital cost savings
- Eliminates need for chemical descaling and uptime loss
- Compatible with fire-tube and water-tube boiler configurations
Cooling Towers & Heat Exchangers
Optimized Cooling Capacity
- Prevents scale in heat exchangers — maintains rated thermal efficiency
- Reduces Legionella risk (smooth surfaces prevent biofilm colonisation)
- Allows higher cycles of concentration — less makeup water required
- Reduces blowdown frequency and volume — water conservation
- Prevents scale on shell-and-tube, plate, and process coolers
- Compatible with injection moulding machines and process chillers
- Prevents corrosion pitting on exchanger surfaces
- Algae growth in cooling tower water is naturally controlled
