De uitdaging
Seawater desalination evaporators on cargo vessels accumulate salt deposits and impurities over time. The inner surface in the evaporators gets coated with a crust of deposits. This builds up over time and hinders heat transfer. This buildup reduces output progressively until fresh water production requirements cannot be met. Traditional solutions required expensive, time-consuming chemical and manual cleaning with system downtime.
De Merus-oplossing
Installation of Merus Rings at the seawater inlets and on the evaporator boilers to prevent deposit accumulation and improve performance without chemical cleaning.
Resultaten
→Boiler A required no cleaning post-installation and fresh water production increased from 28 to 31 tons daily in the first month. Boiler B showed a rapid production increase to maximum performance and the system was fully cleaned without manual intervention. The need for ongoing chemical cleaning was eliminated.
