Do any of your heat exchangers have severe scaling? How is it usually handled? I work in the field of physical scale prevention and removal; I’m not sure if there is any future potential in this area Please ask a professional for advice.
You haven’t mentioned what physical methods you use for descaling, or what type of heat exchange equipment you clean; only then can people understand your strengths and the purpose behind your actions
We are microwave-based scale prevention and removal products, representing a new generation of high-tech physical solutions for scale prevention and removal. The device is attached to the water inlet pipes of equipment prone to scaling, such as heat exchangers, coolers, condensers, reverse osmosis systems, and vacuum pumps. After amplifying the microwave signals using a special crystal structure ring-shaped RF antenna, high-frequency alternating microwave signals are introduced into the water. The signal propagates through water bodies and pipes, effectively preventing scaling of equipment and pipes over distances of dozens or hundreds of meters, while also serving to remove scale, kill bacteria, and prevent corrosion. The equipment exhibits good scale inhibition effects against the vast majority of existing scales, including carbonate scale, sulfate scale, silica scale, oxalate scale, sodium chloride scale, and sodium hydroxide scale. It is also suitable for high-salinity, highly alkaline circulating water.

Wow, that female classmate of mine from college was working on microwave scaling prevention in her graduate studies; she worked under a supervisor who was a Changjiang Scholar and is now an academician. But I really haven’t heard of any industrial applications. In actual industrial settings, there are too many factors to consider: flow rate, the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, water quality and particulates, the condition of the pipe surfaces, the operational level of the equipment, local water quality, the use of scale inhibitors in circulating water, and the quality of the scale inhibitors purchased. If microwaves are used, it’s possible that coatings like SHY99 could be stripped off, which would be a problem.
All the factors you mentioned, such as concentration and water flow rate, have been taken into account in the product. There are basically no restrictions on the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, nor on the flow rate. It’s quite difficult technically; it’s not easy to create. So, at present, we are the only one in the country; there are no others.
It is suggested that the original poster could explain the advantages of this method over chemical descaling – whether it is cheaper, more efficient, or capable of achieving a more thorough removal of scale This method somehow seems a bit like the ultrasonic cleaning using our light tubes.
Oh my god, so water-based cleaning means that scaling can be removed without having to disassemble anything?
