Industrial Facilities

Industrial steam boilers, heat exchangers and cooling systems under severe fouling need chemistry matched to the metal and the load. Kuvars Chem has cleaned and protected these systems at defence, manufacturing and aerospace facilities since 2003.

Who we work with: Plant manager, maintenance and utilities engineer, HSE, procurement.

Industrial plant with steam boilers and a cooling tower

What you face

  • Severe scale and rust in steam boilers; US DOE data puts the fuel penalty of 0.8 mm of iron- and silica-bearing scale at up to 7%, and advanced scaling overheats boiler plates.
  • Heavy fouling in process heat exchangers reduces thermal efficiency.
  • Cooling towers under high particulate load need dispersant-enhanced treatment on treated water.
  • New industrial installations need pre-commissioning flushing before start-up.

Frequently asked questions

Which descaler is used for steel boilers and which for copper exchangers?

NANO CLEAN 100 for heavy-duty descaling of steel and cast-iron boilers and exchangers; NANO CLEAN for copper and mixed-metal equipment. Every acidic cleaning is completed with NANO CLEAN NR.

How are cooling towers under a high particulate load treated?

With NANOSAFE X 400 DC, a molybdate-based dispersant and corrosion-control chemical, dosed into treated water, alongside NANOSAFE BIOCID for microbial control.

What kind of industrial facilities has Kuvars Chem worked at?

Defence, manufacturing and aerospace facilities since 2003, including the TAI Helicopter Wing Test Facility, Petlas, Beyçelik Gestamp and Bağfaş.
