BONCHEM THERMOFLOW®
The Ultimate Water Cooling and Chemical Package for Deposit Control
THERMOFLOW® is the ultimate water cooling and chemical package for deposit control. The THERMOFLOW® product range was developed for deposit control in deep oil exploration wells, where extreme temperatures and severe water qualities lead to excessive deposit formation using traditional scale inhibitors/dispersants.
The pentagram shows the scale inhibition and dispersing capabilities of THERMOFLOW® measured by five parameters generally important for deposit control in water systems.
The scale inhibition properties of our THERMOFLOW® range of products excel over any other product currently available on the market. THERMOFLOW® is specifically used where poor-quality water needs to be used as the make-up source for cooling systems
Alternatively, the product could be used where a higher concentration factor of the cooling water is required. Increasing the concentration factor of the cooling water is a direct water saving to the customer. THERMOFLOW® is also used to protect reticulation systems against scale formation. Normally, scale build-up reduces the pipework's inside diameter, reducing water flow and plant efficiency.

HOW DOES THERMOFLOW® WORK?
- Powerful sequestering agent
- Loads the particles with a strong anionic charge
- Modifies/distorts the crystal structure
What are the benefits of using THERMOFLOW®
- On equal cost basis - improved results
- Superior scale inhibition
- Potential result in water savings - Operate system at increased cycles of concentration
- Potential reduction of effluent loading - Increased cycles = reduced bleed-off
- Can deal more effectively with poor quality make-up water
- Utilizes crystal modification, sequestration and dispersion
- Improved recovery characteristics
- Reduces scale formation under laminar flow conditions
The following graphics show the superior performance of THERMOFLOW® when compare to existing available deposit/scale inhibitors.
