The scale problem

• Loss of energy due to longer heating times
• High costs of repairs and maintenance of machines and equipment
• Loss of water pressure due to reduced pipe diameters
• High cleaning costs and the need of aggressive cleaning agents
• Decrease in overall industrial productivity

Vulcan – Against scale and rust

Vulcan provides you with an eco-friendly water treatment system which protects your water pipes and equipment against scale and rust. The method is based on the patented Vulcan-Impulse-Technology and treats your water without applying any chemicals or salt. Vulcan offers you individual solutions customized to your needs. It is applicable for private, commercial and industrial use.

The 3 Vulcan effects

1. Vulcan stops scaling on surfaces
2. Vulcan sanitizes the piping system
3. Vulcan protects against rust and corrosion

1.  Vulcan stops scaling on surfaces

2. Vulcan sanitizes the piping system

Two simultaneous processes take place in untreated, hard water. In the first process scale deposits build up when scale crystals connect to each other. This first process produces carbonic acid, which simultaneously resolves existing scale deposits within a second process. This phenomenon is called the “natural resolving process”. As the incrustation process is much faster than the natural resolving process the pipes’ diameter constantly decreases (pic.3).

Vulcan protects the pipes against new incrustations: With Vulcan the natural scale resolving process only has to deal with the already existing calcifications. New incrustations do not disturb the process of scale removal anymore and the pipe gets gradually cleaned (pic.4). As carbonic acid can only dissolve scale from scale but not scale from the pipe a thin protective layer always remains on the inside of the pipe.

3.  Vulcan protects against rust and corrosion

When the pipe gets into contact with aggressive, hard water an oxidation process takes place. This happens especially to pipes made of copper, iron or galvanized iron (pic.5). This damage by rust and oxidation seriously affects the pipe surface and produces pitting corrosions.

The Vulcan-Impulse-Technology generates a controlled electrophoresis which produces a protective metal-carbonate  layer. According to the pipe material, this layer consists of copper-carbonate, iron-carbonate or zinc-carbonate and settles on all blank surfaces.
