THE TECHNOLOGY: CONTROLS SCALE

Professional Affiliations
Calcium solubility is inversely proportional to water temperature. In cooling water applications, the calcium tends to drop out of solution as water temperature increases and scale is formed. Chemical treatments attempt to keep these calcium ions in solution. With VRTX, the kinetic energy released when water streams collide forces solid particles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from solution to form non-sticking CaCO3 colloids. These colloids attract dissolved calcium and carbonate ions, and are then filtered from the water stream.
Example of severly scaled systems with poor water treatment. VRTX Technologies filters these solids from the water stream to control scaling.
