De uitdaging
Most equipment show problems with deposits. In the heat exchanger not only in the tubings, but also at the shell side. Corrosion is a big problem as well, which caused emergency shut downs. The facility required regular three-year planned shutdowns for maintenance.
De Merus-oplossing
Installation of Merus Rings at critical heat exchangers within the cooling water system to treat and prevent fouling and corrosion.
Resultaten
→After six months of water treatment, the surface is clean. Deposits, limescale and corrosion is gone. Merus Rings were subsequently installed at 50 additional heat exchangers. Treated sections showed significantly cleaner surfaces compared to untreated areas, with corrosion particles falling off surfaces during handling.
