Introduction Enva have developed a wide range of products for prevention and removal of scale, as well as for cleaning and passivation of pipework and plant. Antiscalent & Polystabil The build-up of scale is an unwanted phenomenon in industrial and effluent treatment processes. Mineral deposits, such as Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate (Struvite), Calcium Carbonate, Silicates and Iron Oxides can precipitate in pipe systems and in the interior of dewatering machines. Time consuming and expensive maintenance work causes downtime and loss of production. Our solution is our Antiscalent & Polystabil range of products. At relatively low dose rates, these products can achieve effective inhibition control over a wide range of mineral deposits. Cleaning schedules can be prolonged significantly or become completely unnecessary. Hence plant availability, running time and lifetime can be greatly enhanced. Descale & Passivation Stainless Steel Systems if not subjected to a rigorous pre-commission cleaning (a process sometimes known as passivation within the industry, prior to commissioning) will be subject to corrosion resulting in "Rouge" formation and pitting. The integrity of systems, particularly sanitary water systems in the Electronic and Pharmaceutical industry is of the utmost importance to the operator and if not maintained can lead to problems such as rouge deposits on membranes, spindles, valve seats, filters, small bore equipment such as extrusion cooling and other heat transfer equipment. To prevent such problems, industry has traditionally carried out a passivation process comprising an alkaline degreasing step using an alkaline degreaser compound followed by application of a mineral acid such as Nitric or Phosphoric Acid. This was potentially for removing free iron from surfaces and supposedly rendering them "passive". While this approach was not very effective, it did not cause any real harm.
