CASES
We have installed more than 60,000 systems throughout Europe.
BIOCAT lime protection systems are available in a range of sizes with varying capacities – from the smallest units suitable for single-family homes to the largest systems capable of meeting the needs of industrial enterprises and housing associations.
Here, you can read a series of case descriptions demonstrating how economics and ecology can go hand in hand – how optimal lime protection can be achieved without the use of chemicals while significantly reducing operational and maintenance costs.
