Limpeza de depósitos industriais e lamas

Industrial Cleaning Solutions for Deposits, Scale and Slime

Deposits, scale and slime in industrial systems reduce heat transfer, limit cooling capacity and can lead to equipment damage and unplanned downtime. Kurita provides sustainable industrial cleaning solutions designed to restore system performance while ensuring high safety standards and environmental compatibility.

Why Industrial Cleaning Is Essential

Deposits in industrial installations negatively impact system reliability and efficiency across multiple applications, including heat exchangers, cooling circuits and paper machine loops. Common consequences include:

Reduced heat transfer and energy efficiency

Increased operating and maintenance costs

Higher risk of corrosion and material damage

Quality defects in sensitive production processes

Regular and specialised cleaning is a key factor in maintaining operational readiness and preventing unexpected shutdowns

When Is Cleaning Recommended?

É altamente recomendável e faz parte dos protocolos de boas práticas aplicar uma limpeza nas seguintes circunstâncias:

Longa espera do sistema sem e com água,
Tratamento químico ineficaz,
Após os trabalhos de manutenção subsequentes na fábrica.

Kurita offers a comprehensive range of acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners to remove deposits, scale, fouling, dirt, grime and impurities from industrial systems. Selecting the right cleaning strategy requires a detailed understanding of deposit composition and thickness.

Kurita Cleaning Technologies

Kurita’s cleaning portfolio includes proven technologies such as Ferrolina e Alberol®, developed to remove scale, metal oxides, oil, mud and other industrial deposits efficiently. These solutions support high cleaning performance while maintaining operational safety and sustainability standards.

To ensure optimal results, Kurita follows a structured and customised cleaning process:

Preliminary system assessment
Evaluation of materials, operating conditions, available time and technical equipment
Deposit analysis
Identification of deposit composition and thickness
Customized cleaning implementation
Selection and execution of the most effective cleaning method
Post‑cleaning optimisation
Recommendations to improve water treatment and prevent future deposits

This holistic approach helps extend equipment lifetime and improve overall system efficiency.

Beyond cleaning, Kurita supports customers with optimisation concepts such as hardness stabilisation and corrosion inhibition to reduce future deposit formation and maintain stable system operation.
