Food & Beverage / Dairy
Where steam may contact the product, the boiler chemistry has to meet food criteria. We treat food and dairy steam boilers with NANOSAFE X 200 HAL, formulated in compliance with FDA criteria, and industrial steam boilers with NANOSAFE X 100.
Who we work with: Plant engineer, utilities manager, quality and food safety manager, procurement.
What you face
- Boiler scale and corrosion in steam systems used for production; US DOE data puts the fuel penalty of 0.8 mm of iron- and silica-bearing scale at up to 7%.
- Steam-to-product contact requires boiler chemistry that complies with food criteria, and procurement asks for the documentation.
- Process heat exchanger fouling reduces throughput.
- Cooling systems next to production areas need conditioning and microbial control.
Our approach
- NANOSAFE X 200 HAL for steam boilers where steam may contact the product: formulated in compliance with FDA criteria and documented in its technical data sheet.
- NANOSAFE X 100 for industrial steam boilers where steam does not contact the product.
- NANO CLEAN and NANO CLEAN 100 descaling of boilers and process heat exchangers, followed by NANO CLEAN NR.
- NANOSAFE X 300 conditioning of chiller circuits and NANOSAFE BIOCID in cooling towers.

Frequently asked questions
Which boiler treatment can be used where steam may contact food?
NANOSAFE X 200 HAL, formulated in compliance with FDA criteria and documented in its technical data sheet. Where steam does not contact the product, the industrial steam boilers are treated with NANOSAFE X 100.
What documentation is available for food safety and procurement?
The technical data sheet of NANOSAFE X 200 HAL states its formulation basis, and every service is delivered with a written work record.
How much does boiler scale cost in fuel?
US DOE data: 0.8 mm of iron- and silica-bearing scale can raise boiler fuel use by up to 7%. Boilers and process heat exchangers are descaled with NANO CLEAN 100 (steel and cast iron) or NANO CLEAN (copper and mixed metals), followed by NANO CLEAN NR.
