The sewage system aboard an AU patrol boat regularly faces scale encrustation issues. In order to address the problems, the whole pipework set had to be replaced, causing lengthy downtimes that took the boat out of commission. In addition, this method resulted in hefty replacement costs.
The crew needed an easier and quicker method of removing the scale than replacing the pipework every time it builds up. The method also needed to be cost-effective, safe for the workers and the environment in order to comply with WHS and environmental regulations.
A third-party consultant recommended the use of ActiveEco SX Descaler, a quick-acting, high-performance scale remover.
After the entire cleaning process was finished, the scale build-up was significantly dissolved.
ActiveEco SX Descaler is based on a unique acid-replacement technology, and although low in pH, it does not contain traditional acids. It uses an organic salt which acts like an acid to effectively and rapidly dissolve scale, making it a safer product to use.
The product was circulated through the pipework for a couple of hours, after which the valves were shut in order to let the product soak overnight.
