We are using chemicals to feed into cooling water system; however, Calcium sulfate scale will arise around the tube side of heat exchanger. The material of the tube is copper or carbon steel shell. As Calcium sulfate scale is very rigid to remove cleanly, if anyone could offer effective method to resolve the said scale problem. |

Strangely, http://www.gxsugar.com/homepage/Eng/E2.htm (a page about sugar processing) seems to indicate that hot sugar water ("juice") might do the trick: "Calcium sulfate has a quite high solubility in hot water and juice ..."

Very common industrial problem. Most inhibitors are phosphorus-based, and one-shot cleanouts tend to be EDTA-based. Suggest that you contact NALCO ... they are usually more than happy to help, and have a variety of products on the market for just this type of application. (I work in mining.. no stranger to this problem). CHeck out http://www.ondeo-nalco.com/industries/mining_and_minerals/scale_control.html |

For removing calcium sulfate and other water-borne scales, from MS and copper surfaces, CITRIC ACID SOULTION will be more beneficial then other acids, as it is less corrosive. |
