Downtime, cleaning, products and parts: enter your operating data for an initial estimate of limescale-related costs.
OPERATING COSTS · OPEX
What does scaling really cost you?
Products, rinsing, labour, effluent treatment and equipment downtime: let us examine limescale-related costs. Your maintenance history, consumption and production conditions are the starting point.
Water and effluents
Water abstraction, cleaning volumes, treatment or external collection, testing and residues to manage.
Production availability
Downtime attributable to limescale, time to return to service and economic consequences actually observed.
WATER RECOVERED · TREATED · REUSED
Even recycled cleaning water has a cost.
Recovery can reduce certain water needs. Pumping, treatment, checks and residue management remain items to examine in your operating costs.
Your current situationDocumented costs
The scenario to assessCosts that remain
The comparisonA difference to estimate
Which costs should the comparison include?
Current expenses are not automatically achievable savings. Only items within the project scope and genuinely avoidable costs enter the estimated difference; fixed costs and routine process cleaning remain identified.
An external service may already include labour or products. Let us avoid double counting. The consequences of downtime are examined separately from invoiced expenses, without treating every stopped hour as a complete loss of revenue.
Scope and assumptions must be validated with your technical team. The current simulator remains dedicated to keg washers; not every item presented here is quantified by that tool yet.

ENVIRONMENT · MONITORING · ESG
Useful data for your environmental approach.
Track descaling products used, water consumed, effluents treated or discharged and interventions performed. These indicators can support your environmental monitoring and sustainability reporting, where applicable.
- Products used
- Quantities and references of descalers
- Water and effluents
- Volumes used, treated or discharged
- Interventions
- Frequency, duration and operations performed
Site compliance and ESG: two distinct subjects.
Discharge, treatment and reuse conditions depend on water composition, discharge destination, the site and applicable regulations. Descaling effluents are not presumed suitable for sewer discharge after neutralisation alone.
Sustainability reporting describes impacts and their monitoring; it is not a discharge permit. MEDIAGON does not, by itself, confer regulatory or ESG compliance. For an international site, requirements must be checked in the country concerned.
Mineral descaling is distinct from hygienic cleaning, disinfection and other operations required by the industrial process. Their programme is retained.
BEYOND KEG WASHERS
Your process deserves
its own assessment.
Thermal constraints, a water network and an irrigation system are not described using the same data. Select your context to prepare the discussion.
Heat exchangersEquipment · water · operating conditions
Thermal equipment and heat exchangers.
Tell us the exchanger type, circuits concerned and deposits observed. Add known operating conditions and interventions performed.
Objectives and locations are defined according to the equipment; no reduction in consumption is quantified on this page.

Compatibility with process requirements remains to be assessed. No existing treatment is replaced solely on the basis of this page.

Clarify the terms
Configuration, installation conditions and any trial are defined in the proposal.
PURCHASE · HIRE PURCHASE · RENTAL ONLY
Investment and operations: compare the project as a whole.
The device price is only part of the decision. The proposal puts configuration, installation, monitoring and operating expenses into perspective over the agreed period.
CAPEX · INVESTMENT
The equipment and installation budget to plan for.
OPEX · OPERATIONS
Operating and monitoring costs to take into account.
LONG-TERM INSTALLATION
Install for the long term
Through purchase or hire purchase, assess a configuration for the selected equipment and compare the investment with the operating costs the project could change.
The choice takes account of your objectives, installation arrangements and payment terms specified in the offer.
Explore purchase or hire purchaseTEMPORARY RENTAL · ACTION ON EXISTING DEPOSITS
Rent to address existing deposits
Rental only can be offered to support pipe cleaning through MEDIAGON’s physical action, without the process adding a descaling product.
We define the network concerned, the rental period, observations and necessary follow-up operations.
Explore rental for existing depositsYour proposal specifies the equipment, installation, duration, monitoring, any rinsing, price and end-of-contract arrangements. Action on deposits is gradual; the outcome and timescale depend on the installation.
Device warranty: 10 years. Coverage terms are specified in the CO2H2O offer.
What happens after a rental for existing deposits?
A one-off intervention and long-term limescale protection have different objectives. The next steps are agreed with you; temporary rental does not promise permanent protection after the device is removed.
Purchase and rental: how should the budget be read?
Compare services, payments, follow-up and end-of-contract terms over the same period. Rental is not presented as “zero CAPEX” or “100% OPEX”: its accounting treatment depends on the contract and applicable framework.
The CAPEX/OPEX references on this page structure the discussion; they do not classify the contract on behalf of your finance team.

Your operating observations
Scaled areas, interventions performed, frequency and known costs.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Clear terms
from the outset.
Can I rent a device to clean a pipe?
Yes, rental only can be offered for targeted action on existing deposits, without the MEDIAGON process adding a descaling product. Deposit type, network, duration and monitoring are assessed before installation.
Compare the optionsHow can a trial be organised on my equipment?
Together, we define scope, duration, observation points and installation conditions. Your observed costs remain distinct from the benefits to be verified in the field.
Is routine process cleaning still necessary?
Yes. Limescale action on deposits does not replace cleaning, disinfection and other operations required by your industrial process.
What does the device warranty cover?
The 10-year device warranty and coverage terms are specified in your CO2H2O offer. Installation monitoring and operating observations are defined separately.
Where can I find the audio explanation?
The player is near the main button. Controls in this section operate the same recording and resume from the same position, without a floating player.
