Optimal Treatment Methods for Anti-Tartar Management in Circulating Water Systems
Utilizing seawater in industrial water systems leads to scale formation on heat exchange surfaces, reducing efficiency significantly. Even a 1 mm deposit causes a 30% decrease in effectiveness, raising cooling or condensation temperatures by 6°C and increasing electrical power consumption by 18%. Pr...

| description | Utilizing seawater in industrial water systems leads to scale formation on heat exchange surfaces, reducing efficiency significantly. Even a 1 mm deposit causes a 30% decrease in effectiveness, raising cooling or condensation temperatures by 6°C and increasing electrical power consumption by 18%. Preventive measures include chemical treatments, which require careful balancing to avoid corrosion risks, and physical treatments like magnetic or electronic conditioners, which vary in efficacy. Water softening replaces metals with sodium ions but may increase mineral content, exacerbating scale buildup. Corrosion control is essential to counter metal degradation. Balancing prevention strategies is crucial. Research explores using Mediterranean seawater in cyclic systems to conserve freshwater and enhance coastal water availability. The aim is to find economically viable methods to stabilize cooling systems for both soft and saline water. |
