Limescale in effluent water pipe of a refinery

Q8 refinery in Rotterdam reduced limescale deposits in effluent water pipes using Merus Ring technology without chemical treatment.

La sfida

At the inside of the pipe walls a lot of limescale settled over the time. This reduced the pipe diameter and lowered the flow rate. Therefore problems occurred upstream. Initial deposit layer measured approximately 50mm thick.

La soluzione Merus

Installation of two Merus Rings - one at the pipeline beginning and one directly after the pump - to treat effluent water without adding chemicals.

At 6 months: calcium layer reduced from approximately 50mm to 25mm thick. At 12 months: only few deposit left, some areas are completely free of limescale. Total inner diameter increase of 70mm achieved. Flow rate stabilized

new deposit formation stopped.
