Description

The presence of iron in process water is one of the main factors that compromises the performance of industrial machinery. Dissolved ferric ions oxidise easily and precipitate as insoluble hydroxides that accumulate on metal surfaces, pipelines and equipment components. These metallic deposits reduce operational efficiency, increase mechanical wear and can obstruct hydraulic circuits. S Fe acts directly on the chemical composition of water, stabilising metal ions before they reach their precipitation point, and maintaining the process bath in optimal operational conditions for longer.

S Fe is a product formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, specialists in chemistry applied to industry and machinery. Its formulation is developed to integrate as an additive in process water circuits where iron concentration represents a real operational problem, with a chemical profile free of phosphates, NTA, ammonia and chlorine, compatible with more restrictive discharge regulations.

Benefits for professional use

  • Chelation of ferric ions — forms stable complexes with iron dissolved in water, keeping it in solution and preventing its precipitation on equipment and pipelines.
  • Prevention of metallic deposits — reduces the accumulation of iron oxides and hydroxides on machinery surfaces, extending the service life of equipment.
  • Optimisation of water consumption — by maintaining bath quality for longer, it allows reducing the number of renovations and total water consumption in the process.

Main applications

  • Cooling circuits and process water: prevents iron precipitation in heat exchangers, cooling towers and hydraulic systems, maintaining the water quality required for equipment energy efficiency.
  • Industrial washing machinery: used as an additive in wash baths with high iron concentration in water, where deposit accumulation compromises process uniformity.
  • Textile and finishing industry: iron control in water is critical to prevent ferric staining on substrates and maintain bath stability in process baths.
  • Food and beverage industry: in non-food process water circuits, where metallic deposits on machinery can affect operational hygiene in the environment.

Recommended sectors

  • Industrial services companies — maintenance of process water circuits with high iron content and deposit control in machinery.
  • Manufacturing industry — application in process baths, washing systems and cooling circuits where iron in water compromises production performance.
  • HoReCa — in intensive-use industrial washing machinery, where water with ferric ions affects the process result and equipment service life.

Indicative instructions for use

01
Determine the iron concentration in process water through analysis or specific measurement kit.
02
Calculate the S Fe dosage according to the iron level detected and the volume of bath or circuit to be treated.
03
Add S Fe directly to the process bath or water circuit before equipment start-up.
04
Homogenise the solution ensuring uniform dispersion of the additive in the total volume of process water.
05
Periodically monitor water quality and iron concentration to adjust dosage according to process evolution.
