UBC Baton Rouge: Chemicals Replaced, 3x Longer Intervals

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 UBC Baton Rouge: Chemicals Replaced, 3x Longer Intervals
Key results
0 chemicals used
2 FWG openings in 179 days
3x longer opening intervals

The Challenges

  • FWG opened roughly once per month
  • Cleaning typically took around 24 hours
  • Hard scale deposits held plates together
  • Plate removal required significant force

The Solution

One HM100 unit was fitted to the FWG inlet pipe about 1 metre before the heat exchanger during dry dock at Constanta, Romania, in November 2015. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond scale to surfaces, replacing chemical dosing and extending cleaning intervals.

Key Outcomes

R

No chemical dosing over the inspection period

R

FWG opened only twice in 179 days

R

FWG output stable with no loss over 179 days

R

Opening intervals 3x longer than with chemicals

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.
