Protect Pumps against Fouling Vacuum pumps are used in the industry in various processes. For instance to transport liquids, to reduce the moisture in a product or to keep the vacuum in the condenser of a power plant. If there is calcium carbonte or other scale forming minerals in the liquid, the risk of forming limescale is very high. The reason for this increased scaling, the vacuum is removing gases like CO2 from the water, the pH is changing and the risk of scaling is getting higher. Therefore vacuum pumps have, in certain processes, to be regularlly cleaned and maintained. For this the production has to be stopped, the pump has to be disassembeld, the parts and surfaces with scaling on it, have to be cleaned mechanically. If deposits are difficult to remove, chemical cleaning has to b
