Chemical-free limescale control treatment
May 1st 2007 As building operators seek to
find more environmentallyfriendly
solutions to
limescale, Fluid Dynamics reports
an upsurge of interest from the
industrial and commercial sectors
for its Colloid-A-Tron and Scaletron
catalytic water conditioners.
Eliminating the need for
aggressive chemicals and manual
de-scaling, and requiring no power
supply, the performance of these
units has been verified during
testing at UKAEA Harwell and they
are backed by a one-year, no
quibble guarantee.
More than 250 000 units have
already been installed worldwide
and, according to Fluid Dynamics,
they have been proven to deliver a
fast payback with low ongoing cost
of ownership.
For greater peace-of-mind, the
company subjects the water onsite
to extensive analysis using a
bespoke software package, before
agreeing to supply units, thus
ensuring the required levels of
protection will be achieved.
Colloid-A-Tron and Scaletron
catalytic in-line water conditioners
incorporate a specially developed
alloy which, when in contact with
flowing water, generates an
electrolytic action. This ensures
that when the calcium carbonate in
the water crystallises it forms soft
aragonite crystals rather than the
hard calcite crystals that build into
limescale.
The soft aragonite crystals are
flushed through the system and
any deposits can be removed
easily with a damp cloth. More articles from Fluid Dynamics International Limited: |
