Industrial Market for Scale Control The US corrosion and scale-inhibitors industry, combined with the softener industry, is worth $737 million, and estimated to grow to $775 million by 2007. The U.S. water treatment chemical market is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 4.1%, reaching more than $2.7 billion by 2007.
Scale is a major problem. By controlling the hard water (scale) deposits, the benefits of the ScaleGuard devices are as follows:
-- No need for scale prevention chemicals -- Other chemical use and costs are reduced -- Energy savings due to reduced pumping loads -- Reduces maintenance and plant equipment downtime -- Increases design/operating efficiencies -- Removes scale from existing equipment -- No regular maintenance required for Megola equipment -- Longer life for plant capital equipment -- Water quality unchanged -- Product line for most pipe sizes and flow rates -- Can be installed on all piping material -- No more acid baths
Leading Canadian environment solution services provider Megola Inc is committed to solving environmental problems without the use of harsh chemicals that, in the long run, can have deleterious effects on company budgets and our environment. It is the exclusive worldwide distributor for Megola GmbH, a German company that designs and manufactures the ScaleGuard series of physical water treatment equipment.
