A Variety of Effects of LTIWET

Our technology has so many applications and in each


application, a variety of effects of our technology can work in
an effective way.

1. General Industrial application ( one pass ) including the


installation before RO

(a) Reduction of hardness and TDS


Reduction of hardness and TDS should be the point about which we need
to be concerned and in the case of one pass application, reduction of
hardness ( significant ) which is followed by TDS ( 20~30% ) can been found
in almost all of the industrial applications

(b) Alternation of ionized minerals into the different particles


This is because our technology can change ionized minerals including Ca
and Mg in water into tiny soft colloids which are totally different particles and
those colloids which are not dissolved in water any more will be surrounded
by “ a membrane “ of cationized water which is positively charged.
Since all of such colloids are surrounded by cationized water ( positively
charged ) so that they do not attract each other but repulse each other so
will never stick to each other and thereby no hard scale or slime can be
made in the piping and the fin of a chiller. Please see the micrographic
photos of two types of mineral crystals in the material attached.

(c) No hard scale or slime formation


Due to the mechanism explained in above (b), no hard scale or slime can be
formed in the piping which can lead to the significant benefits for the industrial
applications.
Heat Exchanger Effects for Slime
Before (without LTIWET) After (with LTIWET)
As regards the effects for scales, our technology can remove scales which
have been build up as well as can prevent the scale formation, and the
mechanism for the scale removal is as follows :

Water particle which has gone through LTIWET has become so tiny and
minute compared with water particle before going through LTIWET, and
also the surface tension of such water which is cationized and of which
particle is so minute and thereby such cationized water can easily penetrate
into some spaces of scales which have been bonded by crystals of a
variety of carbonates including CaCO3 and MgCO3 so that bonding
between scales become looser and those scales can be scrapped off and
detached naturally without any force or device. Such a process is
repeated and scales which have been stuck to the inner tube of a boiler will
disappear gradually.

*However, it should be noted that the above-mentioned effects are NOT


necessarily due to reduction of hardness or TDS but the direct cause is
the effect of our technology that can change ionized minerals into soft
colloids, which can of course be the reason for hardness and TDS reduction.

(d) Prevention or restraint of the piping corrosion and rust


Our technology can lower electric potential of iron and change Fe2O3 ( ferric
oxide ) into Fe3O4 ( Magnetite ) so that it can prevent or restrain the rusting
or corrosion. Also, zinc or copper in the piping can be coated by cationized
water so that the pipe corrosion can be prevented.

So the effects which should be highlighted for this application are reduction of
hardness and TDS with which the softener can be replaced and no formation
of hard scale and slime, and the prevention and restraint of pipe corrosion.
(e) Cleansing effect of cationized water.
Cationized water is proved to have significant cleansing effect so it can remove
the minerals or impurities which have been adhered to RO membrane. With
hardness and TDS reduction, this effect can extend the longevity of RO
membrane.

2. Cooling tower applications


(a) Recirculation of water
Recirculation water in cooling towers can always be concentrated and makeup
water is periodically added so that hardness and TDS ( EC ) cannot be reduced
so significantly but stay at a certain level since our device treats makeup water
by recirculating it at least three to five times for 24 hours.

(b) No requirement to reduce hardness and TDS


Here, however, reduction of hardness or TDS ( EC ) cannot necessarily be
an issue. This is because the main issues which need to be addressed
for cooling towers applications are formation of hard scale and slime
which can cause some issues to the operation of a factory and as
mentioned in General Industrial Application above, our technology can
prevent the formation of hard scale and slime by changing the minerals
into tiny soft colloids and it can also remove the scales which have
already been formed without reducing hardness or TDS so significantly.

In addition, the prevention or restraint of the piping corrosion or rust can highly
be expected.

Therefore, in this particular application, hardness, TDS and EC cannot be


the targets to be addressed by our technology.

(c) No chemical and low cost maintenance


With the installation of our device for cooling towers, no chemical feed or
blow down of recirculation of water should be required ( a very long time for
recirculation of water and completely zero chemical ! ). And only process for
the maintenance should be to wipe off “ soft colloids “ ( soft scale ) several time
a year checking the basin pan of a cooling tower.

3. Agricultural applications
(a) Smaller water molecule
Our technology can change the structure of water by breaking the hydrogen
bond thereby water molecule becomes so small and its surface tension
becomes so low that it can be absorbed by plant cells so easily, which could
lead to the significant reduction of water use and fertilizer ( each up to
maximum 50% ).

(b) Antioxidation effect and antimicrobial effect


Cationized water of our technology has been proved to have significant
antioxidation effect and antimicrobial effect, and these effects can deliver the
significant benefits for the growth of crops including yield enhancement
( 15~30% ) and the maintenance of their freshness, and also increasing
the sugar content of fruits.

It should be noted that our technology can restrain the growth of bacteria,
particularly the restraint of the growth of E-coli has been proved

NB: These effects can also reduce the mortality rate of livestock

(c) Soil enhancement


Soft colloids which are undissolved minerals in water created by our technology
goes out of the unit and can be dispersed in the soil and such dispersed
colloids particularly Ca, Mg and Potassium can enhance the soil
conditions effectively.
