Industrial Descaler

Frequently asked questions about industrial descalers

How to descale an industrial boiler?

It is necessary to descale your boiler regularly when you notice excess energy consumption, reduced flow, excessively long heating times, etc. To carry out descaling, you must drain the water and sludge, then circulate a chemical product through the boiler to dissolve the scale. Depending on the condition of the boiler, the product will need to be left to react for a longer or shorter time until it is no longer consumed. Then purge the product, rinse, and refill with water. Descaling will eliminate wasted electrical energy, restore good flow with shorter heating times, and extend the life of the boiler. Find all our industrial descalers on this page.

Which industrial descaler to choose for food contact?

For food contact, choosesulfamic acid. This strong acid, in powder form, is 99% pure. It is valued for its effectiveness, its harmlessness, and for its lack of taste and odor. You can also choosecitric acid, although less powerful, it remains effective. These two acids resolve problems related to limescale and scale in general. They dissolve mineral deposits, even in hard-to-reach areas. For more advice, contact our technicians.

Which descaler to choose to remove scale from pipes?

To remove scale from the pipework of boilers, steam generators, heating systems, and cooling systems, you can usesulfamic acid, orhydrochloric acid, or35% sulfuric acid. Your choice will depend on the level of fouling (strong acid or weak acid), your preference for using a powder or liquid product, and finally, whether odor during treatment and taste residue matter to you. Please note that strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid, are highly effective but are corrosive to metals and enamel. Avoid using them in sanitary installations.

What are the uses of a professional descaler?

A professional descaler is used in communal kitchens, water pipes, industrial accessories such as steam generators, cooling systems, communal sanitary facilities, boilers, and heating systems. In short, anywhere water is likely to deposit scale. Discover all our anti-scale solutions on this page.

How to prevent limescale buildup?

Limescale is an accumulation of minerals present in water, generally calcium ions and magnesium ions. When water heats up, the minerals precipitate and form a solid deposit. Certain treatments can prevent limescale deposits in water tanks. Our anti-scale is notably used in steam boilers. It limits limescale precipitation and helps extend the service life of machines.
