Methods for dealing with scaling in the cooling water pipes of PVC polymerization reactors
Thread Content
Methods for dealing with scaling in the cooling water pipes of PVC polymerization reactors: After the reactor has been in operation for some time, scaling occurs in the cooling water pipelines, which results in insufficient cooling capacity and increases the energy consumption of the circulating water. I would like to ask the experienced experts in this forum: how did you handle this problem? Are there any good methods or approaches to deal with it? Please give me some advice.
Just hire a professional cleaning company to do the cleaning.
Clean the jacket, lower the temperature of the cooling water, and increase the water flow rate
There is now an electrochemical descaling technique that involves installing an electrolysis unit in the circulation tank, which causes calcium and magnesium ions in the water to precipitate as scale at the anode. As a result, the levels of calcium and magnesium ions in the water decrease, and the scale in the jacket also dissolves and reduces over time.
