Water Scale
And Sedimentation Removal System
 Water
Scale is a coating or precipitate deposited on
surfaces that are in contact with hard water.
Water that contains carbonates or bicarbonates
of calcium or magnesium is especially likely to
cause scale. When water is heated or evaporation
takes place, scale minerals precipitate layers
of rocklike deposits inside pipes, water heaters,
equipment, and on fixtures and glassware. While
most common scale is a result of calcium carbonate,
other combinations of ions commonly found in water
offer a variety of scale.
 Water
Scale deposits interfere with heat exchangers
and reduce their efficiency by insulating the
heat transfer surfaces. The most common form of
scale in cooling water systems is calcium carbonate
(CaC03). In the water, calcium ions combine with
bicarbonate to form calcium bicarbonate: (Ca++)+(2HCO)
Ca(HCO3)2.
If Water Scale deposits are left to accumulate,
water flow is restricted and piping and heat exchanger
tubes become plugged. Ultimately, ignoring scale
depositions can lead to the destruction and possible
failure of heat exchanger tubes. In addition to
loss of efficiency, process contamination can
occur.
Common Evidence of Water
Scale
Water Scale is most visually evident as hard white
to off white deposits which buildup in faucets,
showerheads and drains. Water Scale leaves deposits
on dishes, glassware, sinks, countertops and on
vehicles that were just washed. Most Water Scale
formations are hard and very difficult to clean.
Visual references also include fixtures such as
toilets, bathtubs, showers and appliances like
coffee and icemakers. Swimming pools and spas
can experience scale build up on tile and pump
equipment. Cooling towers have tremendous scale
problems that causes industries alone a billion
dollars a year to remove. Evaporative coolers,
boilers, car washes, irrigation systems, processing
equipment, paper pulp mills all experience Water
Scale problems. Because Water Scale forms a "coating"
it can significantly effect thermo-transfer and
reduce the flow of fluids. The increase of fuel
cost due to scale build-up is astronomical.A
Billion Dollar Problem!!!
Water borne sedimentation i.e. Scale, rust, lime,
mud and silica that builds up in the waterside
of your equipment causes Billions of dollars in
losses to industries in breakdowns, unplanned
shutdowns, process contamination, high product
reject rate, expensive parts replacements etc..
Present/Conventional
Methods Used to Remove Water Borne Sedimentation.
-
Industrial
Acids e.g. Phosphoric Acid, Sulfuric Acid,
Barium Nitrate, Glycine Acid etc..
-
-
-
-
-
Last
but not least - replacement of the equipment!
None of the above
are effective, some are even damaging to the
equipment, in that some of these methods can
only bring the equipment back to optimum operating
efficiencies by compromising downtime, and the
integrity of the equipment.
Present
Methods of Preventing Sedimentation or better
known as Fouling.
-
-
-
-
-
Inhibitors
- scale, rust, algae, bacteria
Some of the above
methods are effective in SLOWING
DOWN the process of scaling and should
be used, BUT it does not remove or totally prevent
sedimentation build up.

Perfect Solution To Your Water Scale Problems!
