CRS, the experts in glass-lined equipment maintenance has joined forces with BetzDearborn, the world's major supplier of chemical water treatment programmes, to introduce OptiTherm to the UK market.

Reactor jackets are highly susceptible to severe deposits and corrosion, reducing profits and destroying costly reactors.

Many customers benefited financially and practically from the success of Ferroquest.

Now, the introduction of more cleaning products and further training through the OptiTherm service means that the UK process industries can benefit from the world-wide developments in this technology.

OptiTherm is an unparalleled complete service for all types of reactors systems, which is safe, effective and manufacturer-recommended.

The commitment to customer service ensures that the exact deposit is catered for; whether it is rust, calcium-based deposits from water or carbonaceous deposits from thermal fluid.

Unlike other services the patented Ferroquest technology does not contain Hydrogen, common in any acidic solution, and the cause of dangerous and costly spalling glass damage.

A team of experts carries out a complete survey, analysis of deposit, inspection of glass-lining and a thorough service to ensure optimal results through a total care package.

The need for this kind of service is obvious.

Jackets must be cleaned periodically to maximise reactor efficiency and to eliminate the potential for harmful under-deposit corrosion of reactor jacket walls and severe damage of the steel.

This in turn, will reduce its pressure rating, and possibly create safety hazards.

After the OptiTherm service the differences in a system's profitability are seen immediately, in the restoration of heat transfer efficiency, the increase in production rates, the decrease in downtime, and the overall improvement in product quality.

Proven in hundreds of applications throughout the world, OptiTherm has safely and effectively increased glass-lined reactor efficiency to an average of 15%, providing maximum return on the investment of many major chemical and pharmaceutical companies.

With CRS' extensive experience in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, evolving and reacting to industry trends has become second nature.

Downtime has become an increasing issue in the current economic climate, yet with the reduction of maintenance costs and the improvement of reactor performance, the OptiTherm service answers many of the critical needs of the UK process industry.
