About King Khalid Sport City Stadium
King Khalid Sport City Stadium is a major football venue located in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. As a hub for athletic events and community gatherings, the stadium requires reliable and efficient infrastructure to ensure comfort for players, officials, and thousands of spectators.
The stadium's central air conditioning system is critical for maintaining a comfortable environment in the region's hot climate. Protecting this system from the damaging effects of hard water scale is essential to ensure consistent cooling performance, reduce energy consumption, and minimize maintenance interruptions during the sports calendar.

The Challenge: Protecting Critical Cooling Infrastructure
In large public venues like stadiums, HVAC system failure is not an option. The King Khalid Sport City Stadium faced potential risks from hard water that could compromise their central air conditioning system:
- Scale Formation: Mineral deposits in pipes and heat exchangers reducing cooling efficiency.
- Energy Waste: Insulating scale layers forcing the AC system to work harder and consume more electricity.
- Unplanned Downtime: The need to avoid emergency shutdowns during matches and events.
- Chemical Concerns: Desire to avoid harsh scale inhibitors that could pose environmental or handling risks.
