The Hard Water Challenges for Plate Heat Exchangers
Plate heat exchangers play a critical role in various industrial processes, providing efficient heat transfer for heating, cooling, and thermal processing applications.
However, these essential components are susceptible to the detrimental effects of hard water, that can compromise their performance and longevity.
Key challenges associated with hard water in plate heat exchanger systems include:
Limescale Build-up:
Hard water minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, can precipitate onto the surface of plate heat exchangers, forming stubborn scale deposits.
Corrosion:
The presence of dissolved minerals in hard water can accelerate corrosion within plate heat exchangers, leading to metal degradation, leaks and premature equipment failure.
Reduced Efficiency:
Scale build-up blocks the flow of water through the plate heat exchangers, reducing overall system performance.
Equipment Damage:
Scaling and corrosion can cause irreversible damage to plate heat exchanger components, resulting in frequent repairs, downtime, and replacement costs.
Increased Energy Consumption:
Limescale build-up leads to decreased heat transfer efficiency, requiring plate heat exchangers to work harder and consume more energy to maintain desired temperatures.
Actually, the Carbon Trust in the UK estimates that just 1mm of limescale in heating equipment increases energy consumption by up to 7%, with 6mm increasing consumption by as much as 40%.
The Integro™ Solution
At Sidon Water, we understand the critical importance of maintaining optimal performance and efficiency in plate heat exchangers. To address the challenges posed by hard water, we offer the Integro™ water treatment solution.
The Integro™ utilises advanced water conditioning technology to prevent and remove scale deposits and ensure uninterrupted heat transfer efficiency.
By addressing the root causes of scaling, the Integro™ helps prolong the lifespan of plate heat exchangers and minimise maintenance requirements. Plus, it’s maintenance and chemical free!

What Others Say About Us:
“We installed the Integro system in April 2021, a very quick install with no disruption to the Hotel operation. Within a month we noticed the reduction in scale in the Rack Dishwasher and Ice Machines. The quarterly cleaning of the showerheads and taps as part of the legionella prevention programme has been noticeably easier. We have seen an improvement in hot water temperature and pressure indicating the removal of scale build-up in the boilers and heat exchangers. Sidon Water have been easy to work with every step of the way resulting in an extremely successful project.”
Cluster Director of Engineering, South, West and Wales
“In July 2020, we installed the Integro™. Within the first 4 weeks we noticed existing scale build-up being removed throughout the whole irrigation system. It continues to prevent blocked drippers, saving us time and money. Sidon Water have been professional and helpful, they are a great team to work with.”
