SRI has made major advances in developing effective strategies to control and clean scale from heat exchanger surfaces to improve factory performance.
Clients have reaped significant benefits from SRI’s advances in this field, adapting SRI’s scale management strategies to achieve increased operating time, reduced chemical cleaning costs, increased time between cleans and reduced cleaning times.
SRI’s capabilities in achieving effective scale control and cleaning have answered the concern of many industries - sugar, desalination, mineral and dairy - which experience decline of heat transfer co-efficient and plant performance reduction as a result of scaling.
SRI’s specialisation in scale control/chemical cleaning includes:
- Characterisation of scale and micro- ultra-filtration foulants;
- Development of industrial cleaning formulations;
- Design of chemical cleaning systems;
- Establishing the mechanism of scale formation and scale deposition rate;
- Evaluation of scale inhibitors;
- Prediction of scale type from process stream composition;
- Modelling of composite scale; and
- Training courses and workshops.
Our work portfolio includes consultations to more than 30 clients in Australia, Argentina, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea over the past 10 years. We have built an extensive knowledge of scale inhibitors and chemical cleaning technologies for mill evaporators and boilers.
Our approach is unique. We supply a complete evaporator chemical cleaning technology package and undertake on-site pre-implementation, and assist in factory trials.
