Ay Fide Production Plant

Our boiler uses coal as a fuel source and it has been used for many years. Our boiler and piping systems are old and we’ve noticed a progressive increase in heat losses and coal consumption ; we use hot water pipes to heat in the greenhouse/ nursery. We installed the Vulcan descaler to try and improve the operational efficiencies and energy reduction.

We installed the Vulcan system on the return water line of our boiler system and over 18 months of monitoring we have noticed the old boiler started to work healthier and transfer heat much better- we used less coal. The previous corrosion and limescale problems in our boiler and heating pipes aren’t problems anymore. Our pipes and system are now working more efficiently now.

We also installed the mineral descaling system on the RO lines to support the osmosis membranes. The water minerals were damaging the membranes and they would only last for 6 months, even with constant chemical descaling agents. These membranes have so far lasted more than 11 months and we have not needed to replace them, we also use significantly less chemical descaling agents. Our company has been able to lower operating costs across maintenance intervals, chemical treatments, and overall RO membrane lifespan.

Model:
Vulcan S10 on Osmosis System (66 GPM)
Vulcan S50 on Boiler

Maintenance intervals and costs have decreased. Membrane service life has been extended
