The Challenges
- Up to 3mm scale on titanium plates
- Chemical dosing required for operation
- Cleaning taking 24 to 48 hours
- Operators aiming to cut material and labour costs
One HM100 unit was fitted to the 4″ seawater inlet pipe about 1 metre before the FWG inlet in December 2012, for a six-month trial. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond scale to surfaces, so plates stay mostly clean with only loose, hand-removable scale.
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.
