Cut the hidden waste created by hard water.
Sustainable Water Treatment, Engineered into the System
Sustainability in water systems is not a leaf icon or a promise. It is the energy, water, chemicals, consumables, maintenance and equipment you no longer have to use. The Integro is designed to reduce that waste at source
Limescale is not just a maintenance problem. It is a resource problem.
When mineral deposits build on heat-transfer surfaces and within water equipment, they create a chain of avoidable resource use.
Scale forms
An insulating barrier of mineral deposits begins to coat critical heat transfer surfaces.
Performance drifts
Flow rates drop and heat exchange processes drift away from design specifications.
Energy rises
Systems may require more energy to deliver the same output.
Cleaning increases
Descaling, flushing, CIP and manual intervention can consume additional time and resources.
Consumables repeat
Chemicals, filters and other consumable components may require regular replacement.
Assets wear
Scale-related wear can contribute to equipment failures, additional maintenance and earlier replacement.
Where the impact comes from
Energy efficiency
Cleaner heat-transfer surfaces can support more stable performance and help avoid scale-related efficiency loss.
Less chemical dependency
Reduce reliance on salts, antiscalants and descaling chemicals, together with the associated handling, storage and disposal.
Water conservation
The Integro™ does not require regeneration or backwashing. Where it reduces flushing, descaling or CIP requirements, avoidable water use may also be reduced.
Longer useful asset life
Reducing hard scale can lower the maintenance burden on pipes, valves, heat exchangers and other water-system components.
EVIDENCE
Measured outcomes are more useful than generic sustainability claims.
Cranfield University
Independent laboratory work found improved permeability and reduced flux decline across synthetic fresh, brackish and seawater matrices after Integro pretreatment.
Hotel Iberostar
After a year of monitored operation, the Mitsubishi Q-ton system remained close to its design COP despite water exceeding the recommended hardness limit; Sidon reports no scale observed and no descaling required.
Barcelona Hotel Case Study
The site had been descaling its plate heat exchanger every three months. Sidon’s published case study reports more than twelve months without descaling after Integro installation, alongside restored hot-water performance.
Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias (ITC)
A short live trial at ITC indicated improved permeate quality with a modest reduction in specific energy under one treated condition, supporting the case for longer-duration plant validation.
Made closer. Built to be repaired, not replaced.
Our commitment to regional manufacturing gives us greater control over our supply chain while helping to reduce transport-related emissions. We use modular construction and practical mechanical layouts to build reliable systems that are easy to access, diagnose and maintain.
UK and USA Fabrication
Engineered, fabricated and tested in the UK and USA to support regional markets with consistent build quality and a shorter, more visible supply chain.

Repair + support
A Different Operating Model
Conventional approaches can create a recurring cycle of treatment, cleaning and replacement. The Integro™ works upstream to influence scale-forming behaviour and help reduce the associated operational burden.
The Recurring Treatment Cycle
Scale builds
Dissolved minerals can form deposits on heat exchangers, reducing heat-transfer efficiency over time.
Intervention follows
Mechanical descaling or chemical cleaning may require planned downtime and additional maintenance.
Resources are consumed
Cleaning, flushing and conventional treatment processes can consume water, chemicals and maintenance resources.
The cycle restarts
Because the underlying water conditions remain, scale can gradually begin to build again.
The Integro Approach
Treat the water upstream
Electrochemical treatment influences scale-forming behaviour, helping to reduce hard, adherent calcium carbonate deposits.
Keep surfaces cleaner
Reducing hard scale can support cleaner heat-transfer surfaces and more stable system performance.
Reduce recurring inputs
Integro™ itself requires no ongoing salt, chemical dosing, sacrificial media or routine consumables.
Measure the outcome
Site data can be used to compare energy use, cleaning frequency, chemical consumption and system performance before and after installation.

Make sustainability measurable
Give us your water hardness, energy data, salt or chemical consumption, cleaning frequency and maintenance history. We will help identify a measurable baseline and where the Integro could create a credible operational improvement.
