Descaler

Smart Lime and Scale Elimination

Solvit Descaler removes lime and scale deposits from even the most difficult-to-access systems. Our non-marine pollutant formula safely cleans pipes and surfaces in maritime, offshore, and industrial applications without environmental harm.

• Eliminates blockages in seawater and freshwater systems

• Fully biodegradable and non-toxic to people and environment

• No harmful marine pollutants - can be disposed to sea

• Works on interior, exterior and hard-to-reach surfaces

• Ready to use with no mixing required

• Removes deposits without damaging underlying materials

• Effective in both marine and industrial applications

Review case studies below or contact our team for your specific descaling needs.

• Non marine pollutant

• Non-Hazardous

• Non-Toxic

• Arrives “Ready for Use"

• Unique innovative technology which provides complete scale removal

• Proven to efficiently remove a range of scale deposits without affecting the parent material substrates

• Fully Biodegradable which means it c

  an be disposed to sea on treatment completion, eliminating costly onshore disposal.

• Cost-effective

• Highly efficient formula that r

  emoves scale deposits at ambient temperatures with inhibitors added to reduce erosion of pipework parent material.

• Less exposure risk to personnel than other hazardous products.

PROJECT: Gas Plant Cooling System

Experiencing heavy scale deposits in entire plant cooling system.

Method

• 25,000 litres Solvit Descaler provided for 125,000 litre system.

• Large system was divided into three isolated loops, each loop circulated with Solvit Descaler for 2 hours 30 minutes

• Following individual loop cleanings, all were opened up and cleaned as a whole( 8 hours)

Outcome

• Within 24 hours, entire system was free of deposits.

• Returned to maximum operating efficiency

PROJECT: Oil Refinery Exchangers

Refinery two large exchangers required chemical cleaning. Long history using a competitor product. Trial arranged of Solvit Descaler.

Solvit Descaler was so effective and impressive in performance the company changed to Solvit Descaler for cleaning all critical exchangers utilizing our recommended and trained service provider performing the circulation.

Method

• 618 litres circulated for 6 hours per exchanger.

Outcome

• Process engineer inspected and certified cleaning was successful and exchangers performing to design specifications

PROJECT: Refinery Butane Overhead Condenser

Energy company with significant fouling issues. Cooling water causing severe scaling in a butane overhead condenser. Solvit Descaler used to dissolve accumulated condenser scale.

Method

• 1,250 litres circulated for 6 hours at ambient temperature, reversing flow every half hour using a pump truck

Outcome

• Complete removal of scale and cooling duty returned to same efficiency as per rand new

PROJECT: Cooling Tower Heat Exchanger

40 tonne cooling tower had compressors operating at more than 280psi to maintain a 21° water temperature due to heavy hard water calcium and lime scale. Solvit Descaler was placed into the system to dissolve the scaling and other issues.

Method

• 210 litres circulated for 4 hours via inline pumps and then flushed with water.

• Cleaning completed while system remained operational.

Outcomes

• Compressors now operating at 165psi maintaining 21°C water temperature

• Vastly improved efficiency on cooling tower, saving time, money and increasing efficiency.

• Solvit Descaler is part of the cooling tower's maintenance schedule.

• Maintenance found additional uses for Solvit Descaler including cleaning: cafeteria steam lines, plate and frame heat exchangers.

Customer: City Farmers

City Farmers utilized the Solvit Descaler in my City Farmer facilities located in a number of locations throughout West Australia.

Solvit Descaler was used in treating a number of issues in:

• Cooling tower

• Cooling systems

• Compressor condensers

• Exhaust and Baker furnace water cooling circuit system to address and solve the problems of rust corrosion, 

  severe calcium, scale deposits and Bio-fouling.

Following results were achieved:

• Existing scale in condenser was completely removed.

• No new scale has formed

• Existing rust deposits removed. Surface looks like “As New”

• Corrosion cleaned

• Fouling algae and other all removed. Highly impressive in treatment and removal of hard fouling organisms

We were extremely satisfied with the excellent results achieved.
