O desafio
Lime slurry (calcium hydroxide suspension) used for pH stabilization in drinking water is very abrasive and viscous. Calcium deposits form when the slurry stagnates, heavily affecting hoses, pumps, pipes, and water tanks. Pumps frequently become blocked by limescale, with pipe wheels getting stuck and impellers suffering heavy wear, necessitating frequent downtimes and 24/7 service availability.
A solução Merus
Installation of a Merus Ring device at the beginning of the lime slurry distribution line, positioned right behind the shut-off valve.
Resultados
→After installation, no more limescale could settle in the hose. The treated hose remained clean after four weeks. Pumps no longer required frequent maintenance, emergency repairs decreased significantly, and pump service life increased substantially. The investment paid for itself after a few months.
