Scale Reduction Systems
Self-Cleaning, Chemical-Free Scale Reduction for Optimal Industrial Water Systems
Why Prevent Scale, Corrosion, and Contamination in Industrial Water?
Managing water quality is essential in industrial settings to prevent issues like scale buildup, corrosion, and microbial contamination. Left untreated, these problems reduce efficiency, drive up maintenance costs, and risk equipment failures. Reliable water treatment keeps operations running smoothly, meets regulatory requirements, and extends equipment lifespan. Managing water quality is especially important for cooling systems, and other water-reliant industrial equipment.
How the SR System Works
The SR (Scale Reduction) System uses electrolysis to treat water effectively and without chemicals. When a direct current is applied, dissolved salts ionize, producing chlorine at the anode to disinfect the water, eliminating harmful organisms. Meanwhile, calcium and magnesium compounds (which cause scale) accumulate on the cathode.
The SR System’s unique self-cleaning mechanism automatically removes these deposits, keeping the system clean and efficient without manual intervention. This continuous, chemical-free process ensures reliable performance and optimal water quality at all times.
Applications for the SR System
- CQM GROUP’s SR System models are designed to meet specific industry needs, ensuring clean, efficient, and reliable water systems across diverse applications:

Electrolysis Reactor
At the heart of the SR System is the electrolysis reactor, where water flows between positively charged anodes and negatively charged, disk-shaped cathodes. This setup creates an electrolytic environment that facilitates the treatment process.
Self-Cleaning Cathodes
Mineral salts in the water precipitate and adhere to the cathodes, preventing scale from forming on heat exchange surfaces. The system’s patented self-cleaning mechanism involves the periodic rotation of the cathodes, where adjacent blades mechanically remove the accumulated scale, which is then disposed of through the drain.
This continuous cleaning process ensures the cathodes remain effective without manual intervention.
High pH Environment
The electrolysis process creates a high pH level at the cathode, which inhibits corrosion within the system. This environment protects equipment and extends its operational lifespan.
Automatic Control System
The SR System is equipped with an automatic control panel that manages the electrolysis process and self-cleaning cycles. This automation ensures consistent performance, reduces the need for manual oversight and enables the client a link to the structure control system.
