Extreme conditions, fragile balance
Steam boilers are subject to extreme conditions: high pressure, intense heat, and continuous operation.
Under these conditions, even the slightest impurity in the water promotes the formation of scale, which is the silent enemy of steam boilers.
Invisible at first glance, it slowly accumulates on heating surfaces, reducing heat transfer, increasing energy consumption, and accelerating corrosion. This can turn a high performance boiler into a source of costly losses and unexpected shutdowns.
What if your boiler looked like this?
What you don't see... could still be your reality.
Over time, scale and corrosion deposits build up inside pipes and steam boilers.
What you see in this image is the result of natural mineral buildup when water is not treated properly.
Without regular maintenance, this image can quickly become the reality of your installation.
Did you know that...
3 mm (⅛ inch) of scale can cost a 500 BHP boiler more than $144,000 in additional fuel each year?
This deposit acts as a thermal insulator, preventing the efficient transfer of heat between metal surfaces and water.
As a result, the boiler has to work harder, consume more energy, and produce more emissions to maintain the same steam output.
Over time, this loss of efficiency not only translates into higher operating costs, but also increased greenhouse gas emissions and premature wear and tear on equipment, which may even lead to breakdowns.
Water leaves its mark
Water quality varies, operating cycles change, and steam puts metal surfaces under severe stress.
Each boiler operates in a delicate balance, where the slightest variation in temperature, pressure, or water composition causes dissolved minerals to precipitate, attaching themselves to hot surfaces and forming scale.
In such an environment, the precision of the treatment, the choice of the right products, and an understanding of how they interact with the system make all the difference in preserving it for the long term.

the power of green chemistry
Our solutions are based on green chemistry, an approach that replaces traditional chemicals with formulas based on purified tannins extracted from renewable plant sources.
These tannins act as natural scale and corrosion inhibitors, while forming a thin protective layer on metal surfaces.
Biodegradable and free of heavy metals and toxic compounds, they reduce risks to the environment, personnel, and facilities.

Simple, safe, and effective
A single product based on purified tannins covers all treatment needs, without the need for multiple chemicals.
It is simple, quick, and safe to use: no special containment required, fewer tests, and easier storage.
For teams in the field, this means fewer risks, less complex handling, and a safer and more pleasant working environment.

concrete and measurable results
The tannin-based treatment keeps boiler surfaces clean and efficient, even at very low blowdown rates.
Less water used, less energy consumed, and a significant reduction in GHG emissions.
Every deposit prevented means a more efficient, more durable boiler and lower operating costs.

Because results matter
With a presence in more than ten countries, we optimize thousands of systems around the world, where performance is essential and trust is crucial.
Our solutions give your boiler a new lease on life: it will be more efficient and more effective, without the need to invest in a new installation. You will start saving money from day one, simply thanks to more efficient treatment.
Your boiler deserves better than scale
Steam boilers operate under extreme conditions, and scale always ends up building up inside them.
But making the right choices can make all the difference: properly treated water means a cleaner, more durable, and more economical boiler.
Trust specialists who understand your systems and know how to maintain their performance before it's too late.
