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 excessive energy consumption, reduced flow, excessively long heating times,… 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, you will need to let it react for a shorter or longer time until the product is no longer consumed. Then purge the product, rinse, and refill with water. Descaling will eliminate electrical energy waste, restore good flow with a shorter heating time, 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 absence 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 pipes 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 scaling (strong acid or weak acid), your preference for using a powder or liquid product, and finally, whether odor during treatment and residual taste 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 commercial kitchens, water pipes, industrial accessories such as steam generators, cooling systems, communal sanitary facilities, boilers, and heating systems. Essentially, anywhere water is likely to deposit scale. Discover all our anti-scale solutions on this page.

How to prevent scale buildup?

Scale 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 the precipitation of limescale and helps extend the service life of the machines.
