Q & A

The method using chemicals is the most commonly used.

However, for factories that are ISO14000 certified or those that consider environmental concerns, chemical use has become increasingly difficult.

In addition, for stronger descaling results, chemicals can corrode pipes — making them an incomplete and risky solution.

As a result, many companies are moving toward non-chemical water treatment methods like Electro Life.

Scale is typically caused by substances like calcium carbonate, silica, and sometimes iron oxide ("iron hump" inside pipes).

Electro Life has shown the ability to remove even silica, which is normally very difficult to treat — verified by X-ray analysis of discharged scale.

One Electro Life unit is optimal for cooling towers ranging from 50 to 200 refrigeration tons.

In one case, when installed in a system with ~100 RT, the pipe blockage rate improved from 14% to 2% within just two months.

Note: The larger the system capacity, the more gradual the effect.
