Corrosion prevention: keeping your water systems safe
By:
Shane Lynch 07 Apr 2020In the world of water treatment, corrosion is a major concern. If not controlled, corrosion can lead to poor energy transfer in heat exchangers, creation of favourable microbiological conditions in cooling towers, and even complete failures in steam boilers. Pipework, heat transfer surfaces and externals are all susceptible to corrosion.

How to prevent problems caused by scale
By:
Shane Lynch 14 Jan 2020In our previous blog post, Scale - the enemy within!, we discussed how water systems can suffer in various ways from the build up of scale.
Controlling this build up of scale is key to keeping equipment working optimally.
Scale - the enemy within! Problems caused by scale deposits in hard water
By:
Shane Lynch 08 Jan 2020The rain water that all too often falls from our skies is naturally soft. But once it falls to the ground and percolates through rocks, it gathers naturally hard mineral salts. It's these calcium and magnesium salts that are responsible for the majority of the scaling in the UK water system.
