Magnetic Water Softeners

Preventing scaling saves expensive pigging operations and production shut downs

UK Based Fluid Dynamics has won a contract to supply its non chemical environment friendly hard water scale prevention products to prevent scaling in an effluent stream.

The problem:   backwash from iron filters, softeners and RO units combined to block drain lines and cause pumps to seize at a major UK government establishment in Oxfordshire England.  The only way to clear these drains was to stop all production and pig the lines – it was impossible to use chemical cleaners due to the fact these backwashes discharged into a small river

The solution: in 2008 Fluid Dynamics supplied its Colloid-A-Tron and Magstream technologies  to the Company .. installing these units on the discharge size of the equipment has virtually eliminated scaling ..

Reorder:   New plant being installed with the facility will now be installed with Fluid Dynamics scale preventers fitted to their discharge lines.

Fluid Dynamics Scale preventers :  since 1973 Fluid Dynamics has been providing  non-chemical solutions to the problems of scaling .. caused by hard water and other chemicals. Utilising a combination of magnetic fields and catalytic metals  Fluid Dynamics products are simply plumbed into pipelines.. they require no electricity or chemicals and have no moving parts..  Scale forming salts are neutralised and pass harmlessly down pipelines rather than sticking to the surfaces of heat exchangers , cooling towers and pipe lines.  The company also make a range of products for residential and commercial use.

Water: Magnetic Water Softener: Used for Purification of Water

How Magnetic Water Softener purifies water?

The Magnetic Water Softeners are mechanical devices which alter the calcium and magnesium ions present in water in such a way that they lose their ability to cause lime scale. This is mainly done by passing the stream of water through Magnetic Water Softeners. These Magnetic Water Softeners have an inbuilt magnetic apparatus which alter the ionic configuration of the above mentioned metals present in the water, thus preventing them from causing lime scales on the pipes and consequently resulting in heat efficiency.

Other than preventing the calcium and magnesium from causing lime scale, the Magnetic Water Softeners are also useful due to the very fact that they do not remove the calcium content from the water altogether. This is quite useful as calcium in water is useful for human body if the water coming out of Magnetic Water Softeners is for the purpose of consumption. The Magnetic Water Softeners only render the ions ineffective to the extent that they lose their ability to cause lime scale. They are not removed from the water.

Although the concept of Magnetic Water Softeners dates back as late as 1973, it has gained a lot of popularity in both Asia and Europe as it has emerged as a alternative against salt ion exchange process which is not quite conducive to health when one takes drinking water into account.

The working of a Magnetic Water conditioner is quite simple. It consists of an entry and an exit point for the water. The water containing magnesium and calcium are made to pass through a canonical tunnel which have magnet or electro-magnet around them. These magnets or electromagnets in Magnetic Water Softeners exert magnetic field which polarizes the ions present in the water, thus preventing them from settling on the utensils and pipes forming lime scale.

In the last couple of years, the usage of Magnetic Water Softeners has increased. They are used residential, commercial and industrial purposes around the world. The polarization of ions in Magnetic Water Softeners and the prevention of formation of lime scale help in preventing the damage to pipes and utensils containing water. For laundry purposes as well, they are very useful. The polarization of calcium and magnesium ions in the Magnetic Water Softeners helps in proper cleaning of laundry. They are extensively used in Textile, Sugar, Dairy, Food processing, Pharmaceutical and other industries.
