A food processing plant in Maracaibo, Venezuela has seen significant benefits following the installation of Hydropaths patented AquaKlear system. Previously, the plant experienced scale and bio-fouling problems in its cooling towers as it is located in a hard water area. This resulted in the management using costly anti-scale chemicals to eliminate the effects.
The solution to this problem was the introduction of the AquaKlear P120 unit. Two clean cooling towers were used to trial the technology, to allow a fair comparison. During the initial stage, cooling tower 1 continued using anti-scale chemicals to remove limescale deposits and the results were recorded. During the second stage the plant ceased using chemicals, and the AquaKlear unit was installed. Cooling tower 2 provided the
