The Challenges
- Scale building up on FWG heat exchanger plates
- Water production reduced to around 17 m3/day
- Manual scraping risking plate damage
- Cleaning downtime needing reduction
One HM120 unit was fitted to the seawater inlet pipe to the fresh water generator in January 2015. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond scale to surfaces, so deposits detach easily at cleaning and the risk of plate damage drops.
A fresh water generator on the vessel Churashima stopped chemical dosing while holding 15 t/day output with a HydroFLOW HM unit.
MV Detroit Express cut fresh water generator CIP cleaning 86% and dropped chemicals with a HydroFLOW HM-100 unit.
Two HydroFLOW HM45 units replaced the UV steriliser on M/V Harvest Leader, keeping drinking water bacteria-free.
