A competence team around Phoenix Ring Manufaktur has several years of experience in the field of industrial applications.

Industry is asked to consider many operational issues. There is a drive to reduce the “carbon footprint”, costs must be tightly controlled due to rising energy costs, “downtime” of systems must be minimised to gain the most “return on the capital investment in plant and machinery”. Running costs must be tightly controlled.

The relationship between “scaling” / “corrosion” and system efficiency has received considerable attention in recent years.

Water problems, once seen as an inconvenience by operations managers, now are identified as a considerable cost in terms of efficiency.

As the relationship between scale “build up” in water circuits and higher energy bills becomes more obvious , as labour costs also rise, and the drive to maximize systems availability receives more focus, benefits associated with “good” maintenance and operational conditions of water circuits makes a more compelling argument.

Water is an important component in most industrial applications as well as in many commercial ventures (hotels, automotive suppliers, airports, theme parks, commercial building, office blocks, retirement homes, slaughterhouses etc.).

In recent years in particular, due to the background already mentioned, there has been a clear awareness of how to get a grip on the problem of deposits in water-bearing systems, machines and devices. Where a few years ago, for example, people were smiling tiredly about the problem of lime, nowadays more and more people are devoting themselves to this very cost-intensive topic.

Even a few millimeters of limescale deposits mean a considerable increase in energy and therefore costs. Apart from additional maintenance intervals, machine downtimes and additional working hours.

We faced this challenge together with our partners, and are now well positioned across the board in the industrial environment. For example, our systems are used very successfully in so called “ring lines”, difficult cooling circuits, but also in all types of heat exchanger types.

Limescale deposits could be reduced in many cases, but new ones could also be prevented. Maintenance intervals could also be extended or delayed in many cases, in some cases significantly.

Particularly in areas where large quantities of water have to be treated, the use of a Sialex^® Ring is generally very justifiable from an economic point of view.

Generally, there is a very close exchange of information between the interested party or new customer and the Phoenix team prior to planning a new installation in the industrial sector.

Often, the conditions prevailing on site are so complex that a personal exchange is absolutely necessary. In many cases, a detailed proposal for a solution can only be drawn up, applied or implemented after an assessment of the local conditions and clarification of further details (e.g. temperature of the water, water constituents, length of the pipes etc.).

If you have an industrial application for our ring technology that is not mentioned or addressed on these pages of our website, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have at any time. Our products are not limited to water alone, we are gaining experience with other fluid types and the problems associated with their transport and storage.

This is an area which will receive more attention in the future. In close cooperation with you, we would like to run initial tests here as well in order to determine any positive changes. Especially new areas of application and the resulting developments made and make us to a partner to the industry.

Maybe to yours, too?
