RO Membranes.
How does mineral scaling impact RO membranes?
An online search for this question will yield over 2.5 million results. The severity of mineral buildup in on residential, commercial and industrial Reverse Osmosis filtration membranes impacts every operational part of RO systems; shorting membrane lifespans, increasing maintenance requirements, decreasing solute rejection rates, blocking permeability pores, increased energy costs from operating support systems and compromising water quality.
One of the largest aluminum wheel manufacturer in China saved $50,000 over a 9 month period after installing the Vulcan descaling device to support their industrial RO membranes.
Using acid injection, water softening or scale inhibitor injection to descale RO membrames has to be the best answer, right?
Mineral scale buildup in RO system require a steadily increase in pressure to maintain the benchmark flow rate. If you are not using the Vulcan descaling device, restoring RO performance will typically require an acidic solution to clean the membrane pores. This cleaning approach will not work with all types of mineral scale, such as silica. (client reference to silica minerals being removed from their system when using the Vulcan descaler). If after using acid injection, water softening or scale inhibitor injection methods fail to remove the minerals and the RO performance cannot be restored, replacement becomes the only option.
You could just use the Vulcan Descaler.
zero effort to manage mineral scaling concerns
Install over your pipe lines before your RO equipment and let science and nature take care of the entire descaling process. Even if your internal and external components are crystal clean at the end of the chemical descaling process, as soon a 1 mm of scale buildup interferes with energy transfer rates as much as 15% extra energy is demanded to maintain the same output capacity (based on research lab studies). The Vulcan descaler proprietary technology continuously descales your residential, commercial and industrial boiler equipment, water pipe infrastructure, other connected support equipment and your entire building.

Putting aside the environmental repercussions
Even if you are not motivated by environmental laws and encouragements; the idea of discarding residential, commercial or expensive industrial RO membranes well before their end of use lifespan has a staggering impact on the financial cost for your company that can be minimized just by utilizing this proven mineral descaling technology. Vulcan anti-scale is a greentech solution to manage mineral scaling concerns.
scale is part of a much larger problem
Mineral scale issues on RO membrane surfaces is not only about maximizing equipment efficiency. Water borne pathogens use mineral scale buildup as a breeding ground and food source.
The Vulcan anti-scale solution continuously removes and prevents unnecessary lime scale buildup using propriety technology developed over 40+ years.
RO systems block pathogens from entering your clean water pipelines. Bacteria also require nutrients to synthesizing processes for survival; such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium, iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. RO membranes with mineral scaling create a great environment for bacteria to multiply. It just takes 1 microscopic tear to flood your clean water with unwanted bacteria.
