Car Carrier FWG: 90% Faster Cleaning, No Chemicals

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Car Carrier FWG: 90% Faster Cleaning, No Chemicals
Key results
90% cleaning time reduction
0 chemicals used
9 month successful trial

The Challenges

  • Scale on plates required chemical soaking
  • Cleaning could take up to 24 hours
  • FWG plates vulnerable to scale build-up
  • Maintenance time affecting onboard efficiency

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® HM120 was fitted to the 4″ seawater feed pipe to the fresh water generator in November 2011. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond scale to surfaces, so any deposits stay loose and can be removed by hand without chemical soaking.
