Descalant Chemical

---

Gramicid-17 is a complex formulation of a descaling agent, a surfactant and corrosion inhibitor compound. It is ideally suited for removal of scales from Cooling Towers, Boilers, Coils, Heat exchangers, Chillers and a wide range of heating and cooling systems. It becomes a versatile descaling agent which is safer still in terms of equipment corrosion and safety of personnel. Conventional descaling is a specialized job, it involves considerable time, energy, money and expertise. The descaling is done with acids like hydrochloric, the risk involved in damage to equipment are considerable. Personnel safety is also less. The inherent safety of ‘Gramicid - 17’ makes descaling a simple and routine maintenance job.

 

The features of these are as follow:

* Easy to handle
* Harmless to equipment & personnel
* Dissolves scales rapidly
* Offers uniform descaling
* Prolongs equipment life
* Non-hazardous
* Non inflammable
* Does not pave the way for pitting corrosion

 

CONCENTRATION:

Gramicid- l7 is a powder, before use, it has to be dissolved in water. An accurate estimate of the quantity of Gramicid- l7required will depend on the actual quantity of scale and the nature of scale that is present in the equipment. A 3% - 10% w/w solution of Gramicid- l7 in water is generally recommended.

The total quantity of this 3% to 10% descaling solution will be about 10% higher than the filled volume of the equipment to be descaled.

This formulation is recommended for scales containing high silica for example scales found in sugar evaporators, caustic evaporators in the aluminum industry and black liquor evaporators in the pulp industry.
