Where wood is chopped, splinters must fall - and where steam systems are used for production, #deposits are created. With a negative effect: deposits prevent optimum heat transfer in production systems and therefore significantly impair their efficiency. Regular, professional cleaning of the system therefore not only increases efficiency, but also reduces maintenance costs, extends the life cycle of the machines and, last but not least, ensures greater operational safety.   A distinction is made between deposits such as limescale, rust and organic substances, which occur where deposits (limescale) and oxidation (rust) take place and lead to the corresponding deposits. Oils and greases are also among the undesirable residues.The resulting reduced performance is at least annoying from an economic point of view, but thicker deposits such as boiler scale endanger the entire process: by leading to thermal stresses, as the thermal expansion coefficient of the deposit is significantly lower than that of the metallic material underneath, cracks can occur, which can sometimes be very expensive.   #KEBO offer your scale preventers (👉 https://lnkd.in/ePNNbHJ6 ) before it is possibly too late: Our products ensure that scale-forming salts such as calcium salts are stabilized in the respective solution, which makes subsequent cleaning much easier. However, the annoying deposits cannot be completely avoided. This is why cleaners are used which, depending on the product, can be neutral, alkaline or acidic to help remove the residue. Acids play a decisive role in many branches of industry - but caution is advised here: Without the use and protection of inhibitors, the acid will attack the metal surfaces to be cleaned, resulting in "pitting". In our next post, you will find out how such inhibitors work and which measuring method is used to analyze corrosion and develop corresponding products. #Antiscalants #scale #pitting #chemicalindustry #industrialcleaning #cleaningsolutions #chemicalcleaning #antiscalant #watertreatment #corrosionsinhibitor
