Anti-Limescale Treatment for Evaporative Cooling Towers
Evaporative cooling towers are particularly vulnerable to limescale due to the progressive concentration of mineral salts through evaporation. Scale reduces thermal efficiency, increases blowdown frequency and promotes biofilm development — which represents a serious Legionella risk and a regulatory concern under ICPE 2921. Effective scale control is therefore both an energy and a compliance priority.
Limescale problems in this sector
- Energy overconsumption — Each mm of scale = +7 to 15% on heat exchangers (source: ADEME, US DOE)
- Costly maintenance — Chemical descaling, production downtime, component replacement
- Reduced equipment lifespan — Scaled equipment lasts 30 to 50% less than designed
- Service quality risks — Impact on production continuity, safety and client satisfaction

FAQ
Is LIMPEO suitable for this sector?
Yes. The LIMPEO range covers all pipe diameters and flow rates, from small commercial operations to heavy industrial installations. Browse our range or request a personalised quote.
What is the return on investment?
The typical ROI is 6 to 18 months depending on water hardness and installation size. Savings are generated across energy consumption (8–15%), maintenance (30–60% reduction), water usage and chemical products.
Does LIMPEO replace chemical treatment?
LIMPEO significantly reduces the need for chemical anti-scale treatments. For regulated applications (Legionella in cooling towers), biocide treatment remains necessary — LIMPEO complements it by reducing biofilm formation.
