8. Commercial and Industrial Applications: Benefits
8.1 Facility
Management
Managing a building, hotel or
business demands constant ob-
servation of all technical equip-
ment, sanitary stations, outdoor
areas, etc. Vulcan helps to impro-
ve manageability, sustainability
and profitability in many areas.
Vulcan helps water-fed appliances to reach their maximum
life expectancy and keeps their maintenance to a minimum.
8.2 The Piping System
a) Reduction of scale deposits in the piping system
Vulcan takes away the adhesive power of scale particles
so that scale is simply washed away with your water as
a fine powder.
b) New scale-formation is stopped
Vulcan dismantles aready existing deposits Vulcan
carefully dissolves already existing deposits in the piping
system. The scale build-up process is reversed and
the pipes gradually become clean again. This take-out
process will not block up your pipes or drain because
the treated crystals are microscopic in size and wash
away in the water.
c) Corrosion protection
Metal pipes often suffer from pitting corrosion. The
electric Vulcan impulses generate a metal-carbonate
protective layer that prevents pitting corrosion.
d) Increased water pressure
Vulcan sanitizes the pipes from scale deposits and can
even restore a pipe‘s full diameter. Water can flow freely
again and you regain normal water pressure.
e) Vulcan minimizes rust
In most cases whenever there are scale deposits you
will find rust shortly thereafter. The rust typically imbeds
itself n the scale deposits. Because rust oxides are red,
the scale deposits in metal pipes then often appear red
in color, too. When the Vulcan treatment reduces scale,
it also takes away rust with it.
f) Vulcan minimizes bacterial growth in pipes
Thick scale deposits with their uneven surfaces are the per-
fect breeding ground for bacteria. Once the scale is gone,
there are no more nesting areas where bacteria can grow.
8.3 Technical Appliances
Water heaters
Vulcan controls scale build-up in tankless water heaters
permanently and reduces maintenance as heat exchangers
get fewer deposits. Your water heater will work much more
efficiently once again, and you can extend the time to your
next service maintenance. Typically, the water heating bills
will be substantially reduced.
Heating systems regain full performance
When water is heated in a hot water tank or with a tank-
less water heater the hard water always leads to thick
deposits on the heating elements. This layer inevitably
causes a great reduction in the capability of the heat to
transfer. With Vulcan, deposits are minimized and your
heating performs at a much higher capacity again.
Solar water heating
Vulcan prevents scale build-up in the system. It
keeps heat exchangers and distributor pipes clean.
Furthermore, Vulcan reduces scale build-up in collectors,
it protects hot water tanks and vacuum tubes, and
keeps the system from over-heating. There is no more
need to circulate acids.
Cooling towers
Vulcan significantly reduces scale deposits. Bleed
water is no longer toxic and bacterial contamination
is minimized. With Vulcan, the cooling tower can be
operated at higher cycles of scale concentration which
minimizes water usage.
8.4 Vulcan in Hotels & Restaurants
Cleaner bathrooms
Shinier, smoother surfaces in the bathroom again
on baths, sinks, fixtures, shower heads, etc. You will
quickly notice that scale is still visible but acts like a fine
"dust" which can be removed easily with a damp cloth.
Notably less cleaning agents are needed and the use of
