Industrial Water Treatment

Boiler Water Treatment

By pioneering polymer based boiler water deposit and corrosion inhibitors, Business Unit Water Treatment has addressed both traditional scale prevention and the problems brought about by iron and variable feed water quality.

In the late 1960’s we were the first company to offer a specific iron dispersant for boiler water treatment. We continue this tradition with our Advantage ® Deposit Inhibitor range as well as our recently introduced Advantage Plus Deposit Inhibitor. The Advantage ® series of deposit inhibitors is the largest selling boiler water treatment range on the African continent.

Mekor®

Mekor ® is a patented volatile steam and condensate line treatment programme suitable for most boiler and steam line applications. It not only acts as an oxygen scavenger, but will also passivate metal surfaces. This product is in use in many industries in Africa and is particularly effective where installations have long steam and condensate lines.

Cooling Water Treatment

Performax Millennium Series® of Cooling Water Chemicals.

This Vaaler Award-winning, patented product series consists of a complex blend of unique oxidant-stable, organic based components.

The Perfomax Millennium® series of cooling water products provides as much as 90 percent improved corrosion and fouling reduction compared to traditional programmes in industrial cooling systems, even in severely stressed systems.

The patented combination of anodic and cathodic inhibitors forms a film on the steel and ferrous alloys. The inhibitors promote protective surface films of gamma iron oxide and reduce the diffusion of dissolved oxygen and corrosive anions to the base metal layers. In addition, a combination of several advanced polymeric dispersants and oxidant-resistant organic phosphonates provides control of calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate and calcium phosphate scale formation. The scale inhibition mechanisms perform across a wide pH range.

Water Cycle And P-u-l-s-e

Süd-Chemie’s P-U-L-S-E® analyser technology used in conjunction with the Water Cycle® predictive computer programme has forever changed the way a cooling water programme is designed and judged. Building upon P-U-L-S-E® technology, Business Unit Water Treatment provides total control capability through computerised services, thus strengthening our reputation as the industry leader in this area.
