Holcim Cement Factory

Holcim is a global cement and aggregates leader who is dedicated to innovation and sustainable building solutions; they are on a mission to decarbonize building across their value chain.

The factory was faced with significant mineral scaling problems with hard water in their chiller, grinder and water supply lines. They planned to spend nearly $400,000 to build and buy chemical systems to solve their descaling problems. Instead of using chemicals to solve their scaling problem, they opted to install the Vulcan Anti-Sacle Solution. The solution cost less than one-tenth of a traditional water softening and chemical solution at only $30,000.

Purpose:

  • clean scale deposits

  • prevent new scale

  • reduce maintenance costs

  • replace chemical dosing and softener systems

Model: Vulcan V5000, S100, S250

Installation Area:

  • main water supply for the cooling tower

  • cooling tower for the big grinder

  • cooling tower for the small grinder

Before Vulcan Installation

Holcim cement factory descale scale
  • scale deposits in oil heat exchanger

  • oil tempurature >122°F (very high)

  • to clean every month

  • heat exchanger has corrosion

  • scale deposits clog the pipe

After Vulcan Installation

Holcim cement factory descale scale heat exchange
  • oil heat exchanger is clean

  • temperature is stable at 37°C – 40°C

  • no need to stop machines to clean anymore

  • save 7% energy consumption at grinders
