The ION STICK Electrostatic Water Treatment

THE ION STICK Alternative Environmental Water Treatment

PROBLEM:

Waterside deposition and microbiological slime build-up

SOLUTION:

Sidestream filtration in conjunction with our non-chemical electrostatic water treatment product, the ION STICK

Before ION STICK Installation 4 inch pipe	After ION STICK Installation 3 Months!

APPARATUS:

On existing sidestream systems, retrofit the ION STICK on return line and reduce dependency on expensive chemical treatment. Full turnkey skid mounted units are available.

OPTIONAL FILTRATION:

Suspended solids control is essential to ensure performance against scaling and deposition. Those systems that accumulate high volumes of suspended solids should employ suitable filtration. Guidelines for filtration are as follows:

OPEN RECIRCULATING SYSTEMS (i.e.: Cooling Towers):

Continuous side stream filtration across a cooling tower using an auxiliary pump.
A sand filter type system must remove suspended solids as small as 10 microns and greater.
Filtration system designed to pass total system water volume at least once per hour.
Filtration system should be designed to backwash effectively a maximum of once every 24 hours or less regardless of back pressure readings. A simple timer can be applied to ensure this procedure.

CLOSED RECIRCULATING SYSTEMS:

An auxiliary pump on a by-pass will prevent system from being starved for design pressures and flowrates.
A cartridge type or bag filter will provide flexibility to effectively remove suspended solids at varied micron ratings to meet each individual system need as required.
The filtration system should be designed to accommodate a flowrate at 10% or less of system flowrate.

TESTING AND MONITORING:

Indicator light on the power pack informs user if electrostatic equipment is operating or not. Trouble-shooting is to be explained in the installation and operation manual.
Electrical power supply service to the ION STICK must be dedicated and continuous.
The water in the system is monitored to protect against excessive suspended solids accumulation. Strainers, low points and low flow areas are purged of solids.
Control of total dissolved solids via conductivity measurement is required in evaporative systems such as cooling tower or steam generating systems. The desired level is relative to the water quality used for make-up as outlined in the Technical Manual or by water treatment consultant.
All filtration systems in use must be properly maintained and fully operational.
