MMT hydromultipoles
® or reversible
magnetic water activators MABP
® are
certified
devices for magnetic processing of water. They are based on high
magnetic energy permanent magnets neodymium-iron-boron. MMT hydromultipoles
®
are developed for scale formation prevention and for scale removal.
Presence of calcium and magnesium salts diluted in water is a
serious problem in industry and municipal economy. These salts
tend to deposit on the inner surfaces of pipelines. This leads
to essential (up to 60%) heat and energy losses due to the reduction
of the open flow area of the pipelines. Heavy scale formation
can lead to a complete pipeline plugging and enhance corrosion.
The problem of scale prevention can be solved either by chemical
or by physical techniques. Chemical demineralization is now widely
applied to prevent scale formation. During this process water
is treated with chemical reagents that convert the diluted salts
in insoluble precipitate. However, high cost, complexity of technological
process, and ecological implications make development of novel
alternative techniques necessary.
Magnetic processing of water is one of the best known physical
techniques for scale prevention. Water is subjected to the influence
of magnetic fields with a certain spatial configuration and strength.
This is the basic principle of MMT hydromultipole
®, which is water
flow processing device with a rigidly fixed strength and a special
pattern of magnetic field lines. MMT hydromultipoles
®
help to prevent scale formation and to remove scale deposits on
the surfaces of pipelines and heat-exchange elements. Influence
of the magnetic field leads to a modification of the physical
properties of water. This prevents precipitation of calcium and
magnesium carbonates and silicates and their deposition on pipeline
surfaces. Moreover, interaction of magnetically treated water
with scale deposits leads to a partial solution of the salts,
and also to scale disintegration. The scale is converted to a
fine slam and washed off. Subsequently it can be easily filtered
off by conventional mechanical water filters. Magnetization of
water allows multiple utilization of water in the conventional
systems without their essential redesigning. MMT hydromultipoles
®
can be also integrated into the chemical demineraliztion technology.
Our tests show that in this case the lifetime of chemical filters
increases by a factor of 1.5-2. This also allows to solve several
ecological problems.
Basic conditions of MMT hydromultipole
® exploitation:
MMT hydromultipoles® have different
typical sizes optimized for the standard pipe gauges. They can
be applied in industry, as well as in municipal economy and
household. They can be installed in water-mains of hot and cold
water supply, in boilers, instantaneous water heaters, laundry
and dish-washing machines, cooling systems etc. MMT hydromultipoles®
are designed for water flow rate from 0.08 m3/hour
up to 1100 m3/hour and corresponding pipe gauges
from 8 mm up to 500 mm.
Application of MMT hydromultipoles® is free from ecological implications,
because no acids or other chemical reagents are used (in contrast
to the chemical demineralization). This also does not require
power supply (as in case of electromagnet-based water processing
devices). Thus water processing with MMT hydromultipoles® is
safe and pollution-free.
Design and physical configuration of MMT hydromultipoles® for
different applications are shown in Figure 1 and Photo 1:
