System Inefficiency Isn’t Inevitable
Without upstream conditioning, buildup forms, chemical demand increases and treatment programs are eventually pushed to their limits. But system inefficiency isn’t inevitable. CAPE HydroTek’s MATpure® Technology conditions water in-line, without additives, to limit deposits, reduce chemical use by up to 50% and improve overall system efficiency with less intervention over time.

Legacy Water Systems May Cost You More Than They Should
What starts as normal system management becomes harder to control over time. Chemical programs are adjusted more frequently. Cleaning cycles increase. Equipment sees more strain as buildup and fouling return, becoming the new normal.
This is how inefficiency builds. Not from a single failure, but from conditions that aren’t addressed early, forcing systems to rely on constant intervention to maintain performance.
MATpure® conditions water, without additives, upstream to reduce chemical use and improve overall system efficiency, helping control operating costs.
Catalytic Technology: The Smart Way to Manage Your Water
Maximize Uptime
Performance doesn’t drop all at once. It slips over time as scaling, fouling and corrosion take hold, forcing constant adjustment just to keep systems running.
MATpure® catalytic water conditioning prevents dissolved ions from precipitating and forming deposits so systems stay cleaner, performance holds longer and in some cases continue running for years without manual cleaning.
Proactively Prevent Pathogens
When system conditions drift, biological risk follows. Treatment programs ramp up to compensate, often relying on reactive disinfection to stay ahead of issues like Legionella.
MATpure® improves and stabilizes water conditions before problems take hold, making it harder for biological growth to establish in the first place. The result is less reliance on aggressive biocides and more consistent system hygiene. Some installations have eliminated biocide use entirely while maintaining safe, compliant operation.
Reduce Operating Costs
Operating costs tend to rise gradually, driven by the need for more chemicals, cleaning and intervention to keep systems in check.
By stabilizing water conditions upstream, MATpure® reduces the need for that constant correction. Chemical demand drops, maintenance intervals extend, and systems run more efficiently with fewer interventions over time. In some cases, payback is achieved within the first year through reduced chemical use alone.
Proven Results
In a full-scale U.S. groundwater treatment system, stabilizing water conditions upstream with MATpure® reduced chemical demand, suppressed fouling and restored system performance across the entire treatment process.
✔ ~60% reduction in caustic demand and ~40% reduction in polymer use
✔ Up to 75% reduction in scaling under sustained operation
✔ Improved oxidation efficiency with reduced peroxide demand
✔ Fouling-associated microbial populations reduced to near-zero
These reductions have delivered $130,000+ in annual chemical savings. In long-term installations, they have also eliminated the need for manual cleaning.
Schkopau Power Plant: 100% Biocide-Free Cooling that Cut Costs
Schkopau eliminated all biocide use while maintaining compliance, eliminated use of FeCl3 during continuous operation, and improved heat transfer (ΔT) by 1-2° K, cutting energy consumption.
Rostock Power Plant Eliminated Biofouling & Cut Downtime for 8+ Years
Since 2016, Rostock has operated without use of biocides and costly, labor-intensive cleanings of its 8km water intake pipeline from the Baltic Sea. Thanks to catalytic technology, biofouling is prevented, significant labor and maintenance expenses were eliminated, and the increased COC led to reduced use of feedwater.
Iron Foundry Doubled Production Without Changing Equipment
The high temperature environmental of an iron foundry in Ypres nearly doubled production without costly modifications to their melting furnace. By optimizing cooling system performance, the plant eliminated the major deposits that required significant effort and downtime to clean, allowing for increased throughout without capital investment.
