Struvite and Scale Removal Solutions for Agriculture and CAFOs
CAFO, as well as agricultural equipment and operations encompass a range of processes that utilize hard water, wastewater and other mineral-rich fluids, which can lead to scale and struvite buildup. These mineral deposits can clog pipes, reduce water flow, and impair the performance of irrigation and wastewater management systems, leading to equipment failure, increased maintenance costs, and potential environmental violations due to improper handling. By regularly removing struvite and scale buildup, you can ensure the optimal efficiency and performance of your equipment, minimizing the risk of operational downtime.
At Struvite Removal, we formulate products specifically designed to effectively manage struvite and scale buildup in agricultural operations, and confined animal feeding operations, manure management systems, and wastewater treatment for livestock and crops.
Causes of Scale Deposits in Agriculture Operations and CAFOs.
Primarily composed of calcium carbonate minerals, struvite or hard water deposits. Scale can affect farming or CAFO operations that deal with water or wastewater, including crop irrigation, livestock operations, and other processes. Scale builds up in pipelines, sprayers, as well as on heat exchangers, screens, water heaters, and other equipment, leading to a variety of operational challenges that can negatively affect processes, such as:
- Reduced efficiency
- Higher energy use and maintenance costs
- Lower equipment lifespan
STSR for Agriculture Scale Removal and CAFO Struvite Removal
We offer the industrial descaler Scale and Struvite Remover STSR to remove scale buildup, provide prevention through dosing, and control scale in agricultural or CAFO equipment. It is designed for hardwater scale, calcium carbonate and limescale, rust, as well as struvite deposits, delivering operational benefits for effective buildup elimination, including:
- Non-corrosive and non-hazardous
- Biodegradable with no fumes
- Safe to handle
Struvite Buildup in Equipment
Struvite forms in wastewater systems, especially CAFOs, or in equipment where the pH is high, as well as in operations where magnesium, phosphate, or ammonia are present. In these systems, buildup can occur through various means, leading to fouled pipes, pumps, and digesters that cause equipment stress and shortened lifespans, requiring maintenance downtime and increased energy consumption to complete operations.
Struvite Remover STSR for CAFO Struvite Removal
To remove struvite buildup in CAFOs, we formulate Struvite Remover STSR to eliminate struvite, scale, and other mineral deposits through beneficial features, such as:
- Buffered, industrial-grade, environmentally friendly formula
- Non-corrosive to steel with low skin irritation and low odor
- Dissolving and preventing struvite with minimal downtime
Struvite Remover STSR can be applied in circulation dosing, soaks, sprays, or foaming solutions for digesters, wastewater treatment equipment, and heat exchangers, as well as dosing for prevention.
Broader Impacts of Scale and Struvite Buildup Leading to Reduced Efficiency
Scale buildup can lead to a myriad of problems within the agriculture and CAFO industries. If buildup is not addressed and removed, it may reduce efficiency across operations, leading to:
- Narrowed pipes that reduce water flow and pressure
- Clogged sprayers that produce uneven spray patterns, affecting crop success
- Increased energy consumption in boilers, heaters
