X-Cleaner vs traditional solutions
Our X-Cleaner descaling system does not require your heat exchanger to be dismantled; saving on time, labour and spare part costs. Compared to a standard acid pump solution, our unit heats up the descaling solution which, combined with our high quality chemicals, makes the job 50% to 300% quicker!
Our system neutralises the heat exchanger surfaces. This, together with the corrosion inhibitors contained in our acids, helps preventing long-term damage to your machinery.
How does scale affect the performance of a heat exchanger?
Scale has a bad thermal conductivity, so scale build-up makes heat exchangers less efficient. This means that more time, energy and flow is needed to obtain a certain exchange of heat. Scale and deposit build-up in heat exchangers lead to lower efficiency in heat transfer, causing:
Speak to our teamLoss of production
Can lead to significant production losses by reducing heat transfer efficiency and causing unscheduled downtime for cleaning and maintenance.
Damage to equipment
Can cause severe damage to equipment, leading to corrosion, overheating, and potential system failure due to increased pressure and reduced flow rates.
Higher energy costs
Accumulated deposits reduce thermal efficiency, forcing systems to consume more energy to achieve the desired temperature transfer.
Don't let scale impact your production
- Scale build-up is caused by minerals in water
- Temperature changes increase scale build-up
- Up to .1mm of scale can form within 6 months
- .1mm of scale can cause up to 33% inefficiency
- Hard water accelerates scale build-up
- Scale eventually leads to corrosion destroying your equipment
The X-Cleaner solution
- Tailored solution for each installation and problem
- Avoids opening or dismantling exchangers to clean them
- Recovers the system performance in hours, with minimum downtime
- Safe for all materials within the installation
- Important savings in man hours and labour
Common problems
Inefficient heat transfer/clogged heat exchangers can be detected by sub-optimal gauge readings (too high pressure/temp, flux is too low, etc). Without our X-Cleaner solution, your systems will be facing:

Scale in your systems
Scale build-up is caused by minerals in water. Temperature changes increase scale build-up, up to 0.1 mm can form in just 6 months!!
Scale has a bad thermal conductivity, so scale build-up makes heat exchangers less efficient. In addition, scale is often associated with corrosion, eventually damaging the heat exchanger unit.
Heat exchanger performance
A heat exchanger needs energy to keep the temperature of the fluids according to the need of the operation. Heat Exchangers need to be kept in the best working conditions.

Insufficient approaches to heat exchanger cleaning
There are numerous approaches to cleaning heat exchangers currently available on the market but most of these are costly, with significant downtime and do not tackle the problems sufficiently.
