How Mineral Scale is Driving LL97 Fines 

The Carbon Penalty: Why Scale Costs More in NYC

Under LL97, buildings over 25,000 square feet face fines of $268 per metric ton of CO2 over their limit. In a typical NYC boiler system, even 1/16th of an inch of mineral scale forces the burner to work 15% harder. This isn't just a maintenance issue—it’s a direct increase in your building's carbon footprint. Vulcan technology restores heat transfer efficiency to 100%, providing a low-CAPEX solution to reduce emissions.

Retrofitting for a Greener New York

Traditional salt softeners are labor-intensive and environmentally taxing for high-density NYC real estate. Vulcan offers a German-engineered, physical water treatment that requires no salt, no chemicals, and zero discharge into the city's aging sewer infrastructure.
