Quantum Mechanics Technology
Heat exchanger closeup full of hard insoluble mineral deposits , salts scale and corrosion .
cast steel , stainless steel , cast iron , ductile iron , copper , PVC , CPVC , composite et . al . The pipe gets wrapped with RED electrical tape to prevent any galvanic reaction . Red tape needs to be used , because black is not conducive to the transmission of the waves . The red-light wave has a longer wavelength , so it is more conducive to spectrum transmission and can effectively penetrate the atmosphere and water , while black does not represent a specific wavelength , so the transmission ability is weaker . Depending on size , it should not take longer than 30 minutes . No Special Skills required to install . No footprint installs on the OD of an existing pipe .
Advanced solid-state technology Activated upon installation . Useful life of over 10 years . Not affected by ambient conditions , heat , cold , water spray , high humidity , high temperature , VOC ’ s , will not affect performance .
About the Author
Robert B . Bender BS , MBA , MPTD has been introducing emerging technologies to corporate America for over half a century . His clients include Ford Motor Company , General Motors , Anheuser- Busch , National Grid , Brookhaven National Labs , Department of Environmental Protection - New York City , US Steel , Bethlehem Steel , Lever Brothers , AMTRAK , Long Island Railroad et . al . Mr . Bender ’ s creative problem-solving skills at all corporate levels have resulted in much lower costs for the maintenance , operating and procurement corporate functions . Has made it his life ’ s quest to remove toxic chemicals from the environment . Sits on the executive boards for DPCC , LIMBA , and AFE ( Association for Facilities Engineering ). President of the Long Island , NY Chapter of AFE since 2007 .
Extends life of service equipment Inhibits & removes scale so cooling water flows unimpeded . No increase in pump motor speed or amperage draw . Keeps valves fully operational and cuts corrosion in piping systems .
Saves energy No energy source required , no increased energy required to overcome flow impediments . Reduces system operating cost . For decades , industry has borne the financial expense and challenges presented by heat exchanger fouling because of the difficulty of remediation or prevention . It was understood that there was a fiscal impact of maintenance , repair , excessive energy , and loss of process which could reach . 25 % of an industrialized country ’ s GNP due to fouling [ 5 ] . These challenges were tolerated since the results of these inefficiencies were only felt by the facility . It was the advent of climate change and an understanding that each malfunctioning heat exchanger offers a compounding impact on environmental global events . It is now universally accepted that there is a need to reduce GHG expression from industrial process systems by utilizing a sustained method to prevent fouling in heat exchangers .
