Holcim Cement Factory

The factory was faced with significant mineral scaling problems with hard water in their chiller, grinder and water supply lines. They planned to spend nearly $400,000 to build and buy chemical systems to solve their descaling problems. Instead of using chemicals to solve their scaling problem, they opted to install the Vulcan Anti-Sacle Solution. The solution cost less than one-tenth of a traditional water softening and chemical solution at only $30,000.

Purpose:

• clean scale deposits

• prevent new scale

• reduce maintenance costs

• replace chemical dosing and softener systems

Model: Vulcan V5000, S100, S250

Installation Area:

• main water supply for the cooling tower

• cooling tower for the big grinder

• cooling tower for the small grinder

Before Vulcan Installation

• scale deposits in oil heat exchanger

• oil tempurature >122°F (very high)

• to clean every month

• heat exchanger has corrosion

• scale deposits clog the pipe

After Vulcan Installation

• oil heat exchanger is clean

• temperature is stable at 37°C – 40°C

• no need to stop machines to clean anymore

• save 7% energy consumption at grinders
