& how we got there …
The Situation
A large commercial laundry operation was experiencing problems with their process water filtering equipment. They were experiencing difficulty in removing the calcium build up on the filters and were having to remove the limescale by wire brushing and scraping.
The Challenge
To reduce the time and effort to remove the limescale from the stainless steel filters in a safe way for both the employees and the environment.
The Hazards
Existing procedures were to either apply strong acidic limescale cleaners which would damage the stainless steel filters, or to scrape and grind the scale build up off the filters and the stainless steel holding tank.
Both procedures had many workplace hazards associated with them with possible injurious outcomes to the maintenance workers and the environment.
The Solution: Triple7 Eco-Scale
The filters were allowed to soak overnight in the stainless steel holding tank with a 10% solution of Triple7 Eco-Scale limescale cleaner. The residue was then removed with a hose and a soft brush leaving the filters perfectly clean.
This procedure removed worksafety risks to maintenance staff by removing strong acids from their inventory and the removal of grinding wheels/brushes from the process.
