MACJAMES® DESCALER/SCALE CLEANER - MDSC-12: A biodegradable innovation; dissolves water scale, limescale, mud and mineral deposits on metal surfaces and water operating equipment without harming the equipment, environment and users.
MACJAMES® DESCALER/SCALE CLEANER
- MDSC-12
(DPR Certification No:
DPR/LAB/7302.5/Vol.4/24)
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
Scale is the most prevalent of all
water quality problems. Scale is primarily composed of Calcium and Magnesium
Carbonates, but may also form as Calcium Sulphate, Silica complexes and Ferric
Oxide. These materials enter the system in a dissolved state and due to certain
chemical and physical reactions, they become insoluble and fall out of solution
and deposit on the surfaces of associated equipment. Scale in a system can coat
the inside of the tubing, restricting water flow and acting as an insulator,
reducing the transfer of heat as well as increasing water demand from systems.
Macjames®
Descaler/Scale Cleaner - MDSC-12 is an innovative
biodegradable descaler formulated and produced to dissolve and remove the
toughest water scale, limescale, mud, rust, and other mineral deposits on
metal surfaces from virtually any piece of water-based and operated equipment.
This innovative water scale remover is safe for personnel, equipment and our
environment. Macjames® Descaler/Scale Cleaner - MDSC-12 is
non-corrosive and does not corrode, pit, oxidize or have other damaging effects
on materials as; iron, copper, fiber, rubber, steel, plastic, brass, ceramic,
glass, titanium, nickel, stainless, and other materials associated with water-based
equipment if used as directed. Most cleaning activities can be completed in few
hours.
Macjames®
Descaler/Scale Cleaner - MDSC-12 is used in descaling
water-cooled condensers, chillers, boilers, heat exchangers, condensers,
pumps, cooling towers, boilers, tubes, pipes or equipment with water scale or
rust deposits. Formulated with wetting and penetrating agents to dissolve
deposits into solution, Macjames® Descaler/Scale Cleaner - MDSC-12 is
fast in action and cost-effective. It can be safely handled by personnel and
circulated through your equipment or system without dismantling, and in some
cases your equipment or system may continue to operate during cleaning. Being
biodegradable, it can be easily and safely disposed in normal plant sewers in well
diluted state as local regulations permit. This innovative descaler is used
when economy, efficiency and ease of use are of maximum importance.

APPLICATION
AND USE:
Cleaning/removal of water
scale, lime scale, mud ,rust deposits, etc, from water operated
equipment
and others alike.
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE IN WATER CIRCULATING SYSTEMS
1.
Turn off the circulating pump.
2.
Drain and flush all sludge and dirt out of the sump since these consume and
waste cleaner.
3.
Close, bleed and refill the sump with fresh water.
4.
Estimate the total number of litres of water in the system and add initial
dosage of chemical at a ratio of 1 litre of MACJAMES®
DESCALER/SCALE CLEANER - MDSC-12 to 15 litres
of water.
5.
Operate the system in the normal manner for a recommended time of 8 hours,
depending on scale thickness. Check the cleaning circulating solution
every 10-15 minutes for colour change from the normal colour
(refer to Calcium Carbonate spot test or PH test (2.4) below
to determine when the system is cleaned).
6.
Also lowering of head pressure to normal levels will indicate when the unit is
clean. Inspect the tubes when possible.
7.
When cleaning is complete, drain the spent solution. Disposal must be in accordance
with all applicable Federal, State and Local regulations. Note:
Dilute properly, possibly to infinity, before disposing accordingly.
8.
Rinse out the system with at least two fillings of fresh water. Refill the sump
and resume
normal operations.
TESTING
EFFECTIVENESS AND COMPLETE CLEANING
Testing
the effectiveness during cleaning with Macjames® Descaler/Scale
Cleaner - MDSC-12 can be performed via two different methods.
These recommended methods include a simple Calcium Carbonate spot test of the
circulating solution or by charting a trend in the pH of the cleaning solution
as below.
CALCIUM CARBONATE SPOT TEST
The Calcium Carbonate spot test is performed by simply having a
sample of the circulating solution come in contact with a form of Calcium
Carbonate. The Calcium Carbonate utilized can be a sample of the deposit you
are cleaning, a Tums or even bare concrete. Observe the reaction of the Macjames®
Descaler/Scale Cleaner - MDSC-12 in solution on the
Calcium Carbonate. If foaming and bubbling is observed, the solution is still
active. If there is little or no reaction, the solution is expended. This test
should be performed near the end of the recommended circulating time. If near
the end of the recommended cleaning time the solution has been expended, more Macjames®
Descaler/Scale Cleaner - MDSC-12 will be required to complete the
job. However, if the solution is still active at the end of the recommended
time, all the scale has been dissolved within the application and it is ready
to be water flushed and returned to service.
TESTING
THE pH
The initial pH of the cleaning solution will measure between 1-3.
In order to test the effectiveness of the circulating solution as a function of
pH, we recommend that the readings be taken at regular intervals and charted as
a trend. The reason for this is that the deposits being dissolved may cause a
premature jump in the pH and give an inaccurate reading if taken only once or
infrequently. After circulating for approximately 75% of the recommended time,
test the pH. Continue to take readings every 10-15 minutes to develop a trend
in your readings. Once the solution’s pH reads 6.0 - 7.0 on three or more
readings, the solution is expended. If the pH reads below 6.0 after the
recommended circulating time, the application is clean and ready to be flushed
and returned to service.
CAUTIONARY
NOTES:
- Never leave
the cleaning solution in the equipment for more than 10 hours, scale may
be redeposited and prove difficult to remove.
- Some
reactions may occur with some alloys of aluminum, magnesium, and/or zinc.
- MDSC-12 is
incompatible with strong caustics or bases.
- Refer to
MSDS for further information. MSDS is readily available and are supplied
with the product.
PRECAUTIONS:
- KEEP
ALL CHEMICALS AWAY FROM CHILDREN
- Use
chemical resistant hand gloves during application, even though product can
be held in open palm without injury. All chemicals are handled with
approved PPE.
- If in
contact with skin, wash with plenty water and seek medical attention if
there is irritation.
- Do
not drink, if ingested drink water or milk and seek medical attention.
- Avoid
contact with eyes, otherwise flush with plenty water for 20 minutes and
get medical attention. Remember to wear
eye goggle with side protector.
- Dilute
properly with water before disposal according to local regulations (dilute
possibly to neutral or infinity).
