Scale Prevention and Removal

Heat exchangers can suffer from accumulation of scale on the heating surfaces, particularly Scale forms directly on heat transfer surfaces when constituent solubility limits are exceeded due to temperature and pressure, and the resulting compounds precipitate onto the tube surfaces as hard scale. HydroFLOW will prevent and control the formation of scale and deposits that cause tube failures, restrict circulation, reduce heat transfer efficiency, and compromise the reliability of heat exchangers, condensers, and hot water boiler.

Asset Protection and Restoration

By minimizing the potential for deposit formation and underdeposit corrosion, HydroFLOW protects heat exchangers, condensers, and hot water boilers from premature failure and unexpected outages. Higher uptime results in greater ROIs and faster payback. Future capital expenditures can often be deferred.

Heavily scaled systems are more easily cleaned after the installation of HydroFLOW, resulting in reduced maintenance costs for descaling heat exchanger tubes, and boiler internal surfaces. HydroFLOW technology remineralizes and softens existing scale, causing it to detach and discharge with the process flow or blowdown.

Corrosion Protection

HydroFLOW inhibits the growth of SRB bacteria and microbial corrosion in standing or slow-moving waters, where disinfectants offer little protection.

HydroFLOW technology promotes the formation of magnetite on carbon steel equipment and piping surfaces, protecting the carbon steel substrate against corrosion. Scale and biofilm control inhibit under-deposit corrosion.
