Vulcan installed inSpokane Public Schools

Dear CWT Team,

Spokane schools now have 6 Vulcan units installed.

One of the first Vulcan units is on a small cooling tower and this stays

absolutely clean during the season. The tower was full of scale when we

started and after 4 weeks, scale started to fall of in big chunks and now

it is completely scale free.

Installation of Vulcan Descaler for the entire buildings water supply in the Roosevelt school

Our first installation in Spokane schools was in Shaw Middle School,

50 years old building and with rusty/dirty looking water.

This was installed before the school started in the fall.

After Christmas this year, the water is always clean and the janitor

does not have to flush the piping anymore.

Have a great day.

Like other hotels, they use chiller systems with cooling towers to provide cool air for whole hotel. And with hard water, they have problems with scale in the heat exchanger and they have used chemicals to solve.

With a desire to replace chemicals, they are looking for physical water treatments and fi nd Vulcan. After installing Vulcan S500 unit, their heat exchanger always stays clean without any chemicals.

Here is the comment of the chief engineer: “We just fi nished reprocessing our chillers and the results are positive. There was a signifi cant decrease on our chillers’ condenser approaches. We have recorded 2 to 6 condenser approach after the reprocessing. Our cooling towers remained clean and some of the stock-up and passing valves are now usable. As regards the performance of the unit, we found it to be working well.”

Dear Mr. Phat,

Good Day! Our company was very pleased with the Vulcan results installed on our main condenser line and main hot water line in Acacia Hotel Manila.

Although there were a few conflicts that happened last May, the problems have been solved gradually until November when the approach temperature was back to normal at 3-6 °C due to the instructions you have given and a few more regular cleanings.

Also, this year’s summer season in the Philippines, the temperature reached its hottest record at 37 °C here in Manila, however, due to the improved and cleaned A/C system, we haven’t got any problem with it.

With those positive results, our head office has decided to install another unit in our next hotel, located at Davao City. The A/C system design was the same as ours, with 16-inch pipe.

Hope to get your positive response soon regarding to the new installation. Thank you.

Models: 2 x S100 in hotel’s main hot water lines 3 x S250 for cooling towers 4 x S500 for cooling towers

Installed by: InterClima


Installation purpose

The results

Most of the hotels in the area of Bávaro/Punta Cana in eastern Dominican Republic depend on ground water wells for their domestic water supply, using traditional water softening equipment to reduce the scale and hardness of the water. The fact is that some of these resorts have very poor maintenance resulting in extensive scaling of cooling towers and domestic hot water piping and equipment.

The project began with a mechanical room energy audit resulting in a great opportunity to upgrade the existing equipment with a very short payback period. The original installation was sold with an estimated payback of less than 2 years. To our customer’s happy surprise, the actual payback was 9 months! The hotel maintenance manager is very impressed with the performance of the Vulcan systems, this opened up many additional opportunities including the subsequent chiller and cooling tower replacements.Before Vulcan S100 was installed in hotel’s main hot water line, the storage tanks had a solid 3 cm thick scale layer inside them and the pumping pressure from the booster set was at maximum while being unable to deliver adequate water pressure to the end of the line hotel rooms. After the 3 months period, an inspection of the inside of the storage tanks revealed that the scale layer was soft allowing them to mechanically clean them removing most of the calcium deposits. Other the following 12 to 18 months, the distribution lines also cleared up resulting in much improved fl ow and lower pumping costs from the booster sets.The manager was instrumental in the approval of the resent trial installation of an S250 in the Royalton White Sands (Jamaica). We will continue to use the Barceló success in our future presentations.

About Energy Complex

The results after 4 months

Before Vulcan was installed, the client used ozone water system to treat the condenser, but they still found massive scales in the basin of the cooling towers. They collected the scales from the basins and weighed them, there were around 150 kg (average) of scales every month.

Energy Complex is the fi rst offi ce complex in Thailand and Southeast Asia to be awarded the highest level of Platinum Green Building certifi cation

from LEED (Leadership of Energy and Environmental Design) that serves as the prototypical building in Thailand for energy conservation, harmonious coexistence of industry and the environment and optimal utilization of resources.

Vulcan was added together with the ozone system to treat the water. After 4 months, the approach temperature of the chiller has been reduced, so that the energy has been saved from the machine. Also, the scales from the cooling tower basin have been reduced.

Vulcan S250 and X-Pro 1 were installed on the main return pipes of the condenser.

7 cooling towers were treated with Vulcan.

RE: Vulcan Descaler as an alternative to chemical based cooling tower treatments

Dear Dick,

For the past two years, we have selected several of our existing customers and offered them the opportunity to have us install the Vulcan Non-Chemical Unit on their cooling towers, for the purpose of evaluating corrosion, scale and bacteria rates versus a traditional chemical treatment program. We have installed 5 x Vulcan S25 & 2 x S10 units all in the upper New York State area.

Based on standard water test analysis, including Corrosion Coupon Testing and regular Bacteria Dip Slide results, we have concluded that the Vulcan Non Chemical System has been able to provide similar results, to those achieved using a chemical based treatment program.

Vulcan anti-scale system

Dear Mr. Vestad,

I have noticed a definite improvement in the operation of our boilers. Typically, we would have several cooling coil plug ups during the hot weather season (a greatly extended season this year) and since the installation of the Vulcan, we have had zero plug ups and that translates into the saving of many hours of down time.

Based on that saving alone, the Vulcan has already paid for itself.

An additional benefit has been in the greatly reduced amount of cooling tower maintenance. The calcium buildup has been miniscule and the little bit that has accumulated can be easily washed away with a garden hose and nozzle.

I have also noticed a huge reduction in the iron stains in the bathroom fixtures here at the factory as well as at home where I installed the second unit. At home, I eliminated my water softener that was running on potassium due to the ancient iron pipes that run all through the house and barn.

The water seems to feel and react just as well with the Vulcan as it did with the softener and I no longer need to buy the expensive potassium and break my back lugging around the heavy bags to reload the water softener. I don’t mean to sound like a commercial for the unit, but those are the honest facts and observations.

Please feel free to stop by the next time you are in the area.

Kindest regards,

Scale Problems

1. Scale problems in the pipelines and the induction hardening machine.

2. There are 9 secondary small pipes, they had to be cleaned manually every 2-3 months.

Vulcan Effect

Installation of a Vulcan S25 unit:May 21st, 2018.

Note: scale was not manually removed before the Vulcan was fi tted on source pipe (see photo).

Examination of secondary piping: November 21st, 2018

1. Since Vulcan S25 was installed, the Hyundai Engineering Team has stopped the regular manual cleaning process.

Observation: the fl ow rate with the Vulcan unit is now even higher than immediately after previous manual cleaning had been done.

2. After Vulcan S25 had been installed for 6 months, the secondary pipes were opened: scale that had been left in piping had disappeared and all 9 secondary pipes had become clean (see photo).

Observation: Biofi lms in the cooling tower had disappeared since the Vulcan unit was installed.

Vulcan S25 was installed around 50 meter before the induction hardening machine.

First inspection: May 21, 2018. Inside of a secondary small pipe, before Vulcan S25 was installed.

There are 9 secondary small pipes with water meters. These meters were installed to make sure a stable fl ow rate. If the fl ow rate goes down, it would cause a problem of the induction hardening machine. Therefore, the pipes had to be cleaned manually every 2-3 months.

Last inspection: November 21, 2018. After 6 months with Vulcan treatment: the pipe is free of scale.

Xingbao Plastic

Untreated heat exchanger for 3 years. After installing Vulcan for 1.5 years, the scale is gone without extra cleaning.

One and a half years after Vulcan was installed, we opened the mold temperature controller and checked the heat exchanger.

It covers 40,000 square meters and has about 400 employees. The major business lines include plastic injection, product assembling, painting, non-conductive vacuum metallization and mold manufacturing, and its wide ranges of products in the fi elds of electronics, home appliances, auto parts, medicine, and gardening are exported throughout the world.

The injection molding machine had been scaled badly for years, so it was always diffi cult to clean the pipe, especially the heat exchanger of the mold temperature controller. The traditional cleaning way is to use a chemical, but it is costly and diffi cult, and it also harms the heat exchangers and pipelines.After Vulcan S150 and S250 were installed, the clients are fully satisfi ed with their performance because they solved the scaling and iron fi ling problems on injection molding machines.

Our Ideas for the Future

Before VulcanThe pipe had been used for 15 years and had a very thick hard scale layer inside. The pipe was not cleaned before Vulcan S10 was installed. The following two photos are the observation points selected before Vulcan installation.

After Vulcan S10 was installed for 4 monthsThe scales inside the pipe have been gradually reduced, and they do not fall off in blocks, which will not aff ect the operation of pumps and other equipment. Because of the good results, the customer decides to apply Vulcan in several other cooling systems.

The Vulcan S10 was installed on the circulating cooling water system of the vacuum pump, and the customer is very satisfi ed with the results.

Before Vulcan:The circulating cooling water used in the power plant contains lots of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, so that the cooling tower was very fouled and formed many hard scale deposits. Summer is the season to run the cooling system, and the warning bell would ring twice a month during the period. The workers had to shut down the machines and use chemical agents for cleaning and maintenance, which was extremely inconvenience, resulting in increased maintenance and labor costs and even a huge waste of water.

Vulcan Eff ect:After installing Vulcan for 1 month, the scale in the cooling tower was dissolved, and the turbid water turned into more clear; after 2 months with Vulcan, the scale was further dissolved, and we could see the bottom of the water tray. Before Vulcan, the cooling tower should be cleaned twice a month. After installing Vulcan, the warning bell no longer rings. The cooling tower runs normally and there is no need to stop the machine to clean the scale.

Model: Vulcan S25

Location: Station 20, Xian-he oil production plant, Sinopec Shengli Oilfi eld

Area: The water inlet of heating furnace


The gas heats the water in the furnace, then the hot water heats the tubes, so that the water temperature in the tubes rises from 40 ℃ to 70 ℃. The water in the tubes passes through the pump, transported to various wells.

However, the heat exchanger effi ciency is decreasing because of scale in the tubes. More gas has to be used to heat the furnace, so that the energy consumption is increased.

The calcium (Ca) content in the water is 1469.09 (mg/L), which is extremely high. The tubes are scaled badly because a variety of cleaning agents are added constantly and also the tubes are kept at a high temperature of 60 ℃ -70 ℃. Every 3 months, the heating effi ciency will be reduced down to 50% or even less. After running 1 year, the whole pipelines and the tubes need to be cleaned up manually, which is time consuming and costly, and reduces production capacity.

Therefore, before installing Vulcan, the scale of the tubes was removed. Then Vulcan S25 was installed to see how it performs.

Installation observation

After installing the Vulcan S25 for 6 months, we found that there is no additional electricity usage, and the overall heat exchanger effi ciency is still at 80%. We approved Vulcan and will make the follow-up purchase for the whole project.

About Baotou Minfeng Metal Works Located in Inner Mongolia, the company mainly produces and sells products made of ferrochrome, ferrosilicon and ferroalloy.

Before Vulcan treatment:Circulating cooling water system uses groundwater, so the water quality is bad and it causes scaling problems in the pipeline. Therefore, the production effi ciency is reduced, so the costs are increased. The pipeline was often blocked, so the pressure in the pipe was increased and even made the pipe explode. In the past, the company used salt-based softener to solve the scaling problems, but the result was not satisfactory.

After Vulcan treatment:We stopped the water softener on the day that Vulcan was installed, the effect is very good: after installing Vulcan, we no longer need to strictly control the water temperature. Less than 1 month, we found that the main pipe for cooling water started to drain out rusty water. It shows that Vulcan starts to clean up the scale and rust. After 3 months of Vulcan, our pipes and equipments are still running well without getting blocked.

Objectives:The objectives are to prevent scale buildup on the cooling

towers, remove the existing scale, eliminate the need for

chemicals or time-consuming cleaning procedures, and to

reduce energy costs.

History:The maintenance for these cooling towers previously

involved continuous injection of descaling chemical

cleansers. The use of these cleansers was discontinued

over a year prior to the installation of the Vulcan. In that

time, the cooling tower fl utes became encrusted with both

scale and biofi lm. Throughout the time period described

below, there were no cleaning procedures in place with

these cooling towers besides the treatment provided by the

Vulcan.

Observations over time after the Vulcan Installation:

Between the time of the installation on July 16th and

examination on August 1st, the green biofi lm had begun to

recede and gradually disappear. The next visit was about 3

weeks after the installation, on August 9th. At that point,

the green biofi lm had been further reduced and the scale

deposits had begun to separate from the fl utes in coin-sized

fl akes.

By August 20th, about a month after installation, the

green biofi lm had almost completely disappeared from

the surfaces in contact with the Vulcan-treated water. The

fl akes of scale previously observed had fallen off in most

places. The cooling tower fl ute surface area covered with

scale deposits had been decreased by over 60%.

We are very optimistic about continued improvement with

this application. In addition to these observations, water

quality measurements were also obtained from each cooling

tower and are summarized in the following charts.

The Vulcan does not change the water quality beyond its affect on its propensity to cause scale buildup. As illustrated below, the

pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen level, and turbidity remained relatively constant during observation from before the installation

to over a month after. Temperature is included, because of its affect on the other measurements and seems to correlate with the

slight fl uctuations observed.

Model Vulcan S500

Tested fi eld Supermal Karawaci, Tangerang, Indonesia

Operating times This large Supermall operates 7 days a week from 9:30 to 21:30, 365 days of the year

Tested location One of 7 cooling towers servicing the Mall's water cooled package air-conditioning systems. The cooling tower selected is a 408TR system containing 45 m3 water volume with a water fl ow rate of 318 m3/h in an open circuit system.

Testing period February 2014 - February 2018 (4 Years)

Installed by PT Biosolutions Indonesia

4-Year Field Tested of Vulcan for the Cooling Tower

at Supermal Karawaci (SMK)

Vulcan S500 was located inside aluminum box and installed on a cooling tower main pipe in Supermal Karawaci.

First Inspection: March 4, 2014.The heat exchanger tube plates were removed to reveal the inside surface of the copper tubes. Since these tubes had recently been manually cleaned, virtually no scale was present, as is obvious on this photo.

Last inspection: February 12, 2018 at the end of the 4-year trial The inside surfaces of the copper tubes show zero additional scale formation after 4 years in the test period.

InspectionsThe photographs show that the refrigeration condenser tubes, from the beginning to the end of the trial period, were "as clean as new".

Please note that for 4 years of 365 days continuous operation, there has been:

• No chemical water treatment.

• No bleed off of waste water.

• No cleaning of condenser tubes.

• No water treatment specialists employed.

• Copper tubes in the condensers stay very clean – without scale.

• No cleaning of the cooling tower inside surfaces.

Significant findings as a result of the 4-year field tested trial: • Scale build-up did not take place. During this 4-year trial period, no

scale formation was found on the condenser heat exchanger copper tubes of the system.

• We have found conclusively that EC (Electric Conductivity) levels of up to 10,000 µS/cm can be safely ignored. Similarly, high TDS, metals, anions and many other substances in cooling tower water can be ignored when Vulcan is used. Cooling tower water blow downs are vastly reduced because with the Vulcan the maximum EC limit increases from 1,200 µS/cm in chemically treated cooling tower water systems to the much higher limit of EC 10,000 µS/cm for the electronic method of cooling tower water treatment.

At the new 10,000 µS/cm EC limit, the need for cooling tower water blow down will likely be reduced from almost daily to once or twice per year.

• No system maintenance was required.

• All AC compressors ran entirely at clean condenser efficiencies.

• R22 refrigerant gauges on all condensers remained at constant hot gas head pressure.

Summary of Benefits: • Large savings on chemicals. The complete elimination of chemicals in this cooling tower operation during the field

test supports the fact that Vulcan is “eco friendly” and would meet the Leeds and Green Mark Building Criteria requi-red for “Green Building” designation anywhere in the world. Enjoy the benefits of a world class, sustainable and “Green” Cooling Tower!

• Huge savings on blow down water consumption. Significant energy and water savings due to clean condenser tubes and no need for water blow downs below electric conductivity 10,000 µS/cm levels with the electronic cooling tower water treatment system – representing alone a saving of virtually all previously wasted water due to blow downs.

• Savings on payroll – no operational stoppages required for condenser cleaning, less testing and fewer inspections needed.

• Savings on supervision – engineers appreciate the “set and forget” of this automatic water treatment system. Frequency of inspections and laboratory expenses for cooling tower water testing are reduced due to the safety and reliability of the electronic systems.

• Scale formation was eliminated. Refrigeration compressors operated at peak efficiency due to no scale in the con-densers.

• Rust prevention in iron pipes is an added benefit of the Vulcan system.

Test report on Vulcans (pulsed water treatment systems) installed as a preventive measure against scale buildups causing faulty of the cooling towers

February 24, 2007Tested field: Factory of a pharmaceutical companyInstallation sites: Cooling towers on the rooftop of the second building2-1 cooling tower A: Makeup water piping size is 50A.2-2 cooling tower B: Makeup water piping size is 50A.1 cooling tower C: Makeup water piping size is 50A and circulating piping size is 80A.

Model installed:Vulcan S25(water treatment capacity: 25 m3/hour)

Date installed:For the cooling towers A, B, and C: July 22, 2006For the cooling tower C: October 6, 2006

Objectives:1 To prevent scale buildups on the cooling towers.2 To reduce chemicals used for water treatment (measure for complying with ISO 14001)3 To save the energy cost by preventing the deterioration of the heat exchange effectiveness

Verification of the effectiveness:After installation of the Vulcans, the statuses of the cooling towers A, B, and C were inspected without using any water treatment chemicals. Even after elapse of approximately six months, almost no scale build-ups were observed inside the refrigerators and the heat exchanger tubes, and no water pollution warning was displayed. (Usually, without water treatment chemicals, the water quality is deteriorated and water pollution warning is displayed.) Silica adhered on the cooling towers was easily removed with a finger. With these results, the effectiveness of the installation of the Vulcans could be confirmed.

Remarks (Summary)The water treatment system, Vulcan, has the following features: (For details, refer to the brochure attached.)Vulcan changes only the crystal structure of scales without changing the quality of water. Therefore, nothing is added or reduced to or from the ingredients of water. The water through Vulcan is soft and has an increa-sed permeability. Vulcan can be used as better cooling water.(*) The effectiveness of the water treatment in the water supply line will last for 2-7 days and for approxi-mately 2 km in distance.

Major features include:- Prevents buildups of rusts and scales- Makes cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom much easier (toilets, showers, tiles, joints, etc.)- Drastically reduces the clogging due to oil balls- Eliminates the necessity of strong chemicals for removing scales.- Eliminates the necessity of additives.- Does not change the water quality.- Prevents the clogging at the time of drainage
