Key Issues
Fishers were encountering persistent issues in their day to day operation of their heat plate exchanger:
- Plate Heat Exchanger scaling up
- Water re-circulation target temperatures not being reached
Our Solution
A Sidon IntegroTM 2 was installed and the results monitored over the initial 90 days. A significant increase in temperatures were achieved during this period as the limescale was removed from the plate heat exchanger completely.
Results
The initial 3 month trial was a huge success. The trial clearly demonstrated that the Sidon IntegroTM system worked extremely well to remove existing limescale, prevent further build-up and thereby increase water temperature.
What the customer had to say?
“The installation of the IntegroTM was so easy and took a matter of hours. 18 months aer the installation, the plate heat
exchanger continues to operate very efficiently without any sign of limescale build-up or decrease in temperatures.
Would highly recommend for any water scale related issues.”
