The factory was faced with significent mineral scaling problems with hard water in their chiller, grinder and water supply lines. They planned to spend nearly $400,000 to build and buy chemical systems to solve their descaling problems. Instead of using chemcials to solve their scaling problem, they opted to install the Vulcan Anti-Sacle Solution. The solution cost less than one-tenth of a traditional water softening and chemical solution at only $30,000.

Purpose:
  • clean scale deposits
  • prevent new scale
  • reduce maintenance costs
  • replace chemical dosing and softener systems

Model: Vulcan V5000, S100, S250 

Installation Area:
  • main water supply for the cooling tower
  • cooling tower for the big grinder
  • cooling tower for the small grinder


Before Vulcan Installation

Holcim cement factory descale scale

  • scale deposits in oil heat exchanger
  • oil tempurature >122°F (very high)
  • to clean every month
  • heat exchanger has corrosion
  • scale deposits clog the pipe

After Vulcan Installation

Holcim cement factory descale scale heat exchange
  • oil heat exchanger is clean
  • temperature is stable at 37°C – 40°C
  • no need to stop machines to clean anymore
  • save 7% energy consumption at grinders
