About the Dairy Cattle Stable

Located in Torreón, Coahuila, México, this dairy cattle stable faced significant challenges due to high calcium concentration in their water supply.

The Challenge

The high concentration of calcium in the water causes problems in the cooling tower and mainly in the small boiler. This required opening the boiler every 45 days to remove hard limescale mechanically.
