In India, Industries like food, paper, textile, Chemicals, refined petroleum, primary
metals, semiconductor manufacturer etc. are using heavy water as raw material in
their production.
Industrial water systems commonly include cooling tower, boiler feed, heater, filters,
washer, tissue culture, injector etc.
Industry pay huge cost on hard water scale processing. It has been estimated in
between 280 to 310 crore annually. The hard problem is very serious in Industry. As
everyone knows, water hardness is due to various dissolved salts, mainly carbonates
and sulphates such as those of calcium and magnesium, which when heated produces
an insoluble precipitate of scale-forming. Scale formation affects performance. Just
1mm of scale adds 7.5 % to energy costs, 1.5mm adds 15%, and 12mm demands a
staggering 70% cost increase. But the problem of energy costs is only part of the story.
There are all the additional problems & maintenance costs of scale removal, anything
from inconvenience to total plant shutdowns in severe cases. In industry, hard water
contributes to scaling in boilers, cooling towers, coils, sprinklers, heat exchanger,
washing machines and other industrial equipment. In these industrial settings, water
hardness must be constantly monitored to avoid costly breakdowns. Hardness is
control by addition of chemicals and zeolite resins. Most companies just build the extra
maintenance required to clean the scale off into their schedules and deal with the
added expense of the shortened life span of the equipment
Calcium normally builds on the bottom of the water heater tank or on the heating coil. It reduces efficiency of the coil. It takes more electric or gas energy to heat same quantity water. The Tathastu water softener unit will dissolve this scale. It works more efficiently resulting in huge energy saving. Scale control on heating coil and tank.
Tathastu water softener save biocides chemicals, water usage, labor and maintenance. It reduces scale build-up. Biofilm, bacteria, corrosion and algae blooms. It will reduces make up water, resulting in huge water saving. Increase life of equipments and it will lower energy costs by about 17%. It will allow cooling towers to run at higher cycles of concentration. It extend the life of cooling tower.
Lime scale deposition in heat exchanger tube and surface of the tube reduce efficiency by almost 7-8%. As efficiency decreases, energy wastage increases. Tathastu water softener removes scale deposition on condenser and chiller tubes. It is direct effect on energy saving. It does not affect the galvanizes coating tubes.
Hard water also contributes to inefficient and costly operation of water-using applications. Heated hard water forms a scale of calcium and magnesium minerals (lime scale deposits) that can contribute to the inefficient operation or failure of water-using applications. Pipes can become clogged with scale that reduces water flow and ultimately requires pipe replacement. Lime scale has been known to increase energy bills by up to 25%. Huge saving in chemicals and labor maintenance. Reduces scale, formation on boiler fire tubes, condensations tank, pumps, pipes and valves. Extends equipments life and lower energy cost.
