Temiq's Ninox device removes sludge from water circulating in a heating system. The company's customers using the de-sludger are typically service providers specializing in environmental engineering and maintenance, as well as heating systems. The Ninox is designed to protect the pipes, since sludge causes corrosion over time and affects the heating system's performance, leading to a 10- to 15-percent increase in energy consumption, says Muriel Chenebault, Temiq's marketing director.
