The build-up of scaling from dissolved and colloidal silica in cooling towers and evaporation systems is a major
problem that costs industry millions of rands each year in facility down time, maintenance, discharge water
treatments (blowdown), and anti-scaling chemical additives. This is particularly true for cooling towers and evaporation
system facilities based in silica-rich regions.
Silica Scaling Removal
Applications:
Cooling tower systems
Water treatment systems
Water evaporation systems
Potential mining applications (produced water)
Industry applications for which silica scaling must be prevented
Benefits:
Reduces scaling in cooling towers by up to 50%
Increases the number of cycles of concentration substantially
Reduces the amount of anti-scaling chemical additives needed
Decreases the amount of makeup water and subsequent discharged water (blowdown)
Enables considerable cost savings derived from reductions in facility down time and maintenance
Reduces the amount of water needed to operate the system
The removal of the silica prevents scaling deposition on heat transfer components of cooling towers and other evaporation systems.
Because your water system contains the life blood of your production plant, descaling should be included in your
preventative maintenance programme for the following crucial reasons:
- It improves Plant Efficiency
- Lowers Cost
- Conserves Energy
- Decreases Down-Time
- Extends the Usable Life of Cleaned Equipment
