Limescale prevention
November 1st 2004

Robinsons has installed a Hydroflow water conditioning system from Hydropath to prevent build up of limescale on heat exchangers on the pasteurising system for its Fruit Spring line.

Easily fitted to existing and new systems, the Hydroflow unit works by emitting randomly varying electric fields throughout the system. This enhances the precipitation of bicarbonates from solution to suspension by introducing clusters of ions in the water to act as seed for suspended crystallisation.

The resulting suspension does not adhere to pipework or internal surfaces, but is washed away with the flow and during blowdown.

Hydroflow treats water upstream and downstream of the unit, protects standing water and is not dependent on water flowing past the unit.
