The Hidden Environmental Toll of Traditional Descalers
Scale buildup is an inevitable reality of any heat exchanger, condenser, or boiler lifecycle. However, traditional acidic chemical solutions have proven to cause significant, though often hidden, environmental consequences, particularly during disposal after cleaning cycles are complete. After descaling …

The Benefits of Green Descaling
To operate at peak performance, heat exchangers must have scheduled cleaning, which involves removing the lime, scale, and rust that builds up over time. The scale decreases the efficient transfer of heat from one medium to another, which is the …

Evaluating Descaling Choices
Scale develops whenever water meets the various metals in heat exchangers, cooling systems, and condensers. To clean mineral deposits and scale, operators use descaling equipment and agents that descale the equipment. This process lets the transfer of heat increase, returning …
