1 - INTRODUCTION
With time and, above all, temperature increase, magnesium and calcium
salts contained in water precipitate in the form of microcrystals and
settle on metallic surfaces of pipes, plant coils and heat exchangers, thus
reducing flow rate and thermal efficiency.
To remove scale deposits it is necessary to circulate inside the pipes, by
using GEL descaling pumps, the chemicals which react with scale, make
it soluble and thus removed. GEL produces a wide range of products for
descaling systems and exchangers according to the materials used.
All products are made up of high quality base materials in order to get the
best results and operate with the highest safety at the same time.
