How Electrolytic Scale Removal Works
An electrolytic scale remover applies controlled DC power to an electrode system installed within the water-treatment circuit. Electrochemical reactions create local conditions that influence the precipitation and collection of scale-forming minerals.
Water Enters the Treatment Zone
A portion or all of the circulating water passes through the electrochemical treatment area according to the system layout.
Controlled Electrolysis
The electrode assembly operates at the defined voltage and current to create the required electrochemical environment.
Mineral Precipitation
Scale-forming minerals such as calcium compounds can preferentially precipitate within the treatment process rather than only depositing on critical heat-transfer surfaces.
Collection & Maintenance
Deposited or precipitated material is removed through the designed cleaning, collection or maintenance procedure for the selected equipment configuration.
Engineering Note: Actual scale-control performance depends on water chemistry, concentration cycles, temperature, hydraulic conditions, electrical duty, treatment coverage and maintenance.
Choose the Right ESR Model by Flow Rate
Correct ESR sizing is essential. An undersized system may not provide enough treatment intensity, while an oversized system may increase upfront cost unnecessarily. Hele Titanium recommends ESR configuration based on your flow rate, water hardness, system volume, conductivity, temperature, installation location, and scale-control target.

Typical ESR Model Selection Reference
| Model Type | Typical Capacity | Operating Voltage | Operating Current | Current Density | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Plates Type | 120 m³/h, customizable | 12–36 V DC | 5–10 A adjustable | 55–60 A/m² | Larger cooling towers and industrial circulation |
| Cylinder Type | 60 m³/h, customizable | 12–36 V DC | 5–10 A adjustable | 55–60 A/m² | Small to medium cooling towers |
| Tubular Type | 3–4 m³/h, customizable | 12–36 V DC | 5–10 A adjustable | ~100 A/m² | Side-stream or compact installations |
Electrolytic Scale Control vs Chemical Treatment
Both electrochemical and chemical treatment can be used as part of an industrial water-treatment strategy. The correct approach depends on water chemistry, scale risk, microbiological control, corrosion requirements, operating conditions and site-management preferences.
| Consideration | Electrolytic Scale Control | Chemical Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Method | Uses controlled electrochemical reactions | Uses chemical dosing and water-chemistry control |
| Primary Equipment | Electrode assembly, reactor / housing and DC control | Dosing pumps, chemical tanks and monitoring equipment |
| Scale Management | Encourages controlled mineral precipitation in the treatment process | Uses inhibitors, dispersants or chemistry adjustment |
| Chemical Handling | May reduce dependence on some scale-control dosing where suitable | Requires storage, dosing and replenishment of treatment chemicals |
| Water Chemistry | Application review remains essential | Chemical program is directly designed around water chemistry |
| Maintenance | Electrode and scale-collection components require inspection / cleaning | Pumps, tanks, dosing lines and chemical inventory require maintenance |
| Microbiological Control | Must be evaluated separately unless specifically included | Often integrated into a wider chemical treatment program |
| Best Selection Basis | Water analysis + hydraulics + electrical duty + treatment objective | Water analysis + dosing program + operating target |
Selection Note: Electrolytic scale control should not automatically be represented as a universal replacement for all chemical water treatment. Biological control, corrosion control and site-specific water chemistry may still require separate treatment measures.
How to Select the Right Electrolytic Scale Remover
ESR selection should consider the complete water circuit—not flow rate alone. The following project data helps determine equipment type, electrode duty and treatment configuration.
| Engineering Input | What to Provide |
|---|---|
| Application | Cooling tower, heat exchanger, HVAC, process loop or OEM equipment |
| Circulation Flow | Normal and maximum flow |
| System Volume | Total circulating-water volume |
| Hardness | Total hardness / calcium hardness |
| Water Chemistry | pH, alkalinity, conductivity, TDS, chloride and silica |
| Temperature | Normal and maximum operating temperature |
| Makeup / Blowdown | Makeup rate, blowdown and concentration cycles |
| Current Treatment | Existing chemical or physical treatment method |
| Treatment Goal | Scale prevention, scale reduction, chemical reduction or equipment protection |
| Installation | Basin, side-stream, inline or OEM integration |
| Power & Control | Available electrical supply and monitoring requirements |
| Maintenance | Cleaning frequency, access and planned service interval |
