Scale-X concentrate is an inhibited hydrogen chloride concentration with multiple corrosion inhibitors for ferrous and non-ferrous
metals.
Scale-X is fortified with detergent builders and surfactants to aid in cleaning the heat transfer equipment while descaling is
being undertaken.
Whether you are descaling heat exchangers, chillers, condensers, cooling towers, pumps, boilers, tubes, pipes or any equipment that comes in contact with
water Scale-X is the heavy duty descaler of choice.
Most cleaning and descaling applications can be completed within a few hours, making Scale-X one of the fastest-acting heavy duty industrial descalers
on the South African market.
Descaling Procedure
Flanges removed from compressor.
New flanges with 50mm hoses were fitted to circulate descaling agent through the compressor supply and water return pipes.
Drainage plugs were removed from the water jackets on the three cylinder heads and fitted with swage hose adaptors.
25mm hoses were connected to the cylinder heads for circulation of descaling chemicals through the water jackets of all six cylinder heads simultaneously.
300 litres of inhibited descaling agent Scale-X was added to the circulating pump’s tank.
Scale-X circulated through the compressor for a period of 12 hours @ 3.5 bar pressure.
Before Descaling Scale-X pH 0.00 Time 12h00 – 20/03/2021
After Descaling Scale-X pH 2.44 Time 24h00 – 20/03/2021
Duration 12 hours
Scale-X at a pH 2.44 was still active after descaling service was completed.
Scale-X is considered spent when pH 4.50 is reached.
Neutralization of Scale-X using ScaleAway pH-Buffer was undertaken until a pH 7.85 was reached.
Entire compressor was rinsed out with clean water.
Compressor flanges were re-fitted and isolation valves were opened.
No leaks throughout pipe reticulation were detected.
