Safe Acid Descale Powder:

Safe Acid Descale Powder – Powerful and Safe Solution for Scale Removal

Scale buildup is one of the most common problems in industrial equipment, boilers, heat exchangers, pipelines, and water systems. Deposits such as calcium carbonate, rust, and mineral scales reduce efficiency, increase energy consumption, and lead to costly maintenance. Safe Acid Descale Powder is a highly effective cleaning solution designed to remove tough scale deposits quickly and safely.

What is Safe Acid Descale Powder?

Safe Acid Descale Powder is a specially formulated acidic descaling compound designed for the removal of lime scale, rust, mineral deposits, and hard water scale from industrial and marine systems. Its advanced formulation ensures fast cleaning action while being safer to handle compared to conventional strong acids.

It is ideal for use in boilers, heat exchangers, condensers, pipelines, cooling systems, and water circulation systems.

Why Scale Removal is Important

Over time, scale deposits can:

• Reduce heat transfer efficiency

• Increase fuel and energy consumption

• Cause blockages in pipelines and valves

• Lead to overheating and equipment damage

• Increase downtime and maintenance costs

Regular descaling helps maintain system performance and prolong equipment life.

Key Benefits of Safe Acid Descale Powder

1. Powerful Descaling Action

Effectively removes calcium, magnesium, and rust deposits from metal surfaces.

2. Safer Than Conventional Acids

Designed for controlled acidic action, reducing risks during handling and application.

3. Improves Heat Transfer Efficiency

Restores equipment performance by removing insulating scale layers.

4. Reduces Downtime

Fast cleaning action means quicker maintenance and less operational interruption.

5. Versatile Applications

Suitable for a wide range of industrial, marine, and commercial cleaning requirements.

Applications of Safe Acid Descale Powder

• Boiler descaling

• Heat exchanger cleaning

• Condenser tube cleaning

• Cooling tower maintenance

• Pipeline descaling

• Water heater cleaning

• Marine equipment maintenance

How to Use Safe Acid Descale Powder

1. Dissolve the recommended quantity in water.

2. Circulate the solution through the equipment or apply directly.

3. Allow contact time depending on scale thickness.

4. Flush thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.

5. Neutralize if required before disposal.

Always follow dosage instructions and safety guidelines.

Why Choose Safe Acid Descale Powder?

Our Safe Acid Descale Powder provides an effective, reliable, and economical solution for removing hard scale and rust deposits without the aggressive hazards of strong liquid acids. It helps maintain system efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and extend equipment lifespan.

Using-Procedure    

Spraying:–

This can be beneficial as part of the initial cleaning process after the carriage of Lube oils and Lube oil additives.  As soon as the tank in question has been checked empty by the attending surveyor, RXSOL-20-2030-210  should be sprayed over all surfaces which are safely reacheable.
 

Portable machines:–

After 45 minutes the butterworth machines should be operated for 3 x 20 minutes drops using warm 60o C, then the machines brought back to the top and a full hot wash 80 – 85 o C should be carried out for at least 6 hours.

Fixed machines:–

Wash ambient for 45 minutes followed by warm water for one cycle before increasing to hot (80oC) for 4 hours.

Injection:–

This can be carried out by injecting RXSOL-20-2030-210  into the butterworth system after the heater. A normal amount to use would be 100 – 150 liters during the initial washing cycle.  Water temperature should be 60o C during the injection period then brought up to 80 – 85 o C for the full washing period.

Re-circulation:–

Possibly the best result are achieved by re-circulating a solution of RXSOL-20-2030-210 after the initial rough washing of the tank.  A sufficient amount of fresh water to maintain good suction should be heated  to 60 o C and approximately 420 liters of RXSOL-20-2030-210  (2 drums) added for each 500 liters of fresh water.  The temperature of the mixture can be increased depending upon  the melting point if the product being cleaned.  The solution should be circulated for at least 4 hours and the butterworth machines  operated at maximum pressure in all areas of the tank  throughout this process.  If a number of tanks are to be circulated, then a substantial quantity of solution can be made so that transfers can be made without delay and any small amounts lost will not affect the operation.  Normally following transfer to another tank, 100 liters RXSOL-20-2030-210  is added for each 5000 liters of solution.  This is called “spiking”.
  

Following the re-circulation process, the tank must be hot butterworthed 80-85o C for at least 6 hours.
      *Use         a                 strainer                at               the                 pumpstack               when               circulating          any                        solution              RXSOL-20-2030-210 is recommended for local cleaning and degreasing and may be applied  by  brush,  hand  spray, immersion, soaking or any other conventional means. Apply concentrate RXSOL-20-2030-210 over  soiled  area  and wait for 20-30 minutes before rinsing off with water.
 

Soak Method:-

For heavy oil and soil Put parts to be cleaned into a bath of concentrate RXSOL-20-2030-210 and  for medium to light soiling use a solution of 10-30% RXSOL-20-2030-210 in water. Parts should be soaked for at least  30 minutes  before washing off with water.

Spray-Method:-

Spray concentrate  RXSOL-20-2030-210  over all soiled areas.  With in  15  and  30   minutes,  RXSOL-20-2030-210 starts   its function then rinse off by water hose. For stubborn deposits, agitation by scrubbing will  assist  the  cleaning operation .

Cargo Tank Cleaning after Mineral Oils

Direct injection method:–

Make  a   solution  of  RXSOL-20-2030-210  between   0.1  and  2.0%   i.e.   one   to    twenty    litres    per  ton   wash water.   Then      use     with     Tank     cleaning      machine ,    Best     results    are     obtained   when   water  is    heated  to  a     temperature      between          60  to  80°C.  Slops Should              be             Constantly              Stripped       from, tank.                                                   

Recirculation method / Ship's Rocking Mottion:– 

Make  soln.  Strength  with RXSOL-20-2030-210 between  0.5 –3 %  and  used  with  Tank Cleaning machines OR fill the tank to 20-30% volume with sea water and add the RXSOL-20-2030-210 up to full dose  . For better  results  heat  the solution  between 60 - 80°C.

NOTE : Dose rate and results will vary depending on amount of contamination.

Spot cleaning- RXSOL-20-2030-210  (concentrate) can be sprayed over surfaces and left  for  20 - 30 minutes  Finally wash down the tank surfaces with hot  water between 60°C and 80°C with  high  pressure   machine .   Keep stripping tank slops and transfer to holding tank/slop tank.Cleaning  of  theOil  side of  Lube  Oil Heat Exchangers  Cleaning  is  best  achieved  by the recirculation method using a heated 20% solution of RXSOL-20-2030-210.
1) First of all drain off any remaining oil from Heat Exchanger.
2) Connect the discharge side of a portable pump to the lower heat exchanger connection & the suction Side of the pump to the bottom outlet of a 200 litre drum.
3) Complete the circuit by connecting the upper connection on the heat exchanger to the top of the drum.
4) Maintain the bath temperature between 60-80 0 C throughout the cleaning operation.  If it is not possible to heat, the operation will need to be extended.
5) Use the pump to maintain circulation for 12 to 15 hours.  When the cleaning is completed, disconnect the lower heat exchanger connection and drain out the cleaning solution.
6) Connect a fresh water supply to the upper heat exchanger connection, and rinse until the water runs clean from the lower connection.                                                                                  When rinsing is complete, disconnect the water supply and thoroughly drain and dry the heat exchanger
