Synergistic Application of Chemical and Electromagnetic Water Treatment in Corrosion and Scale Prevention

摘要

The costs of damage caused by scale and corrosion worldwide in cooling towers, boilers and pipes escalated to more than an annual $ 100 billion in recent years. Neither classical chemical prevention methods nor new alternative electromagnetic water treatment methods have yielded satisfying solutions. We have used a combi- nation of chemical and electromagnetic technologies to prevent scale and corrosion of galvanized zinc coated cooling towers with great success n the last three years. This manuscript describes the physicochemical principles of the approach we employed.
