Vulcan Commercial Descaler for Food Manufacture

Vulcan effect on the boilers
The boiler had been non-stopping running for more than 1 year, and a small layer of 0.5mm scale was found. After 2 months with Vulcan, the scale can be removed by a finger easily.

Vulcan effect in pipes and sterilisers
Scale has been accumulated for 15 years, it was not cleaned before installing Vulcan. After 3 months with Vulcan, we already see the scale was dramatically reduced and existing deposits were easily removed.

Installation details:
Location: Model/Area:
Problem: Scale problems in the steam boilers, the sterilizers and the heat exchanger. The client had to use water softener.
The water softener is replaced with Vulcan, and old scale becomes soft.

Result: Installed by:
Food processing plant (delicatessen)
• 1 x Vulcan 3000 for the boilers
• 1 x Vulcan 3000 for the heat exchanger
• 1 x Vulcan 5000 for 2 sterilizers

Eco-friendly Anti-Scale systems

The effectiveness of the physical water treatment has not only been proven by users but that there are also theoretical and practical physical-chemical proofs. View PDF here →

Paper 1: The present study investigated the feasibility of RF electrical fields in mitigating CaCO3 fouling in cooling water. Three different voltages and two frequencies were used for the RF electric fields produced directly in water with varying cold-side velocity. Artificial hard water was used. Fouling resistances for the PWT- treated cases decreased by 34–88% from the values for no-treatment cases . View PDF here →

Paper 3: Electrodialysis in the presence of humate. It was reported that the application of external electric fields with pulsation and infrasonic pulsing could give substantial improvements in the performance of pressure-driven membrane processes by reduction of concentration polarization, control of membrane fouling .

Paper 4: Induction of a Radio-Frequency Alternating Electric Field (RFAEF) in water at a specific range of frequency and antenna voltage, along with its distinct sinewave waveform, changes the way minerals precipitate, minimizing hard-lime scale by producing instead a non-adherent mineral powder in the bulk water. Moreover, the unsaturated solution that is created, along with enhanced carbon dioxide production, dissolves gradually the existing scale in plumbing tubes. Furthermore, the RFAEF inductance device demon- strates a major improvement over other pulsed-power systems, proving this electronic antifouling technique suitable for both hard and soft waters, as well as for large-scale applications.
