Use instructions

Water system cleaning: Dose the product into prearranged circulating system. Use 10-30% of the system volume, depending on the contamination to be removed. The product can be heated during circulation either with live steam or by heat exchanger. Boilers may never be fired when any acid is circulating or soaking.

Circulate or soak well mixed cleaning solution for 8-12 hours unless you have analytical means to determine the cleaning endpoint. If more cleaning is needed after inspecting, drop the old solution completely and replace it with new 5% solution and continue for additional 4 hours.

After the cleaning fill the cleaned system with fresh water and circulate for 2 hours. Dump the rinse solution and repeat it once more. Add your standard treatment chemical in the third filling. Adjust the pH to at least 8.5 before starting any water-bearing unit. For cleaning of boilers with higher operating pressure than 10 bar please request passivating procedure from us.
