What Is Limescale ?• Limescale is formed when calcium and magnesium Limescale is formed when calcium and magnesium
minerals accumulate and form a hard mass of crystals on minerals accumulate and form a hard mass of crystals on rough surfacesrough surfaces
• The crystalized substance is known as aragoniteThe crystalized substance is known as aragonite• Limescale originates from Limestone which is mostly Limescale originates from Limestone which is mostly
formed by the fossilized shells of sea organisms over timeformed by the fossilized shells of sea organisms over time
Calcium and Magnesium salts dissolved in water form a hard mass of crystals on the rough surfaces of equipment and pipes.

Effects of Limescale
• Reduces water heating efficiency• Reduces water flow• Causes blockages, leaks and damage in plumbing systems and apparatuses • Can paralyze entire factories• Traditional treatment requires the use expensive and dangerous chemicals
When does Scale Form?1. Calcium and bicarbonate are dissolved in water2. Water becomes super-saturated when temperature increases or pressure decreases3. Ions precipitate as calcium carbonate [limescale]
Ca Calcium
(HCO3)2 Bicarbonate
CaCO3 Calcium Carbonate
CO2 Carbon Dioxide

• The Hydropath signal is aThe Hydropath signal is a decaying sine oscillation of decaying sine oscillation of ± 150 kHz± 150 kHz
• Pulse separation time Pulse separation time variesvaries to work in a range of to work in a range of applicationsapplications
• The decaying pulse is The decaying pulse is extremely extremely efficient (Less than 20W)efficient (Less than 20W)
Electric current travels along whole pipe
The Hydropath SignalHow do we get a signal into How do we get a signal into the pipe?the pipe?
TransformerTransformer•AC current in primary circuitAC current in primary circuit•Electric field through ferriteElectric field through ferrite•AC current in secondary circuitAC current in secondary circuit
The difference between Hydropath Technology and other physical water conditioning technologies is the ability to induce an electric signal into the water which is 30,000 times more efficient than a magnetic signal

How Does HydroFLOW Treat and Prevent Limescale
• The Hydropath signal encourages the calcium carbonate ions to form clusters• These clusters then become seed crystals; crystals prefer to attach to existing crystals
Calcite Cluster Formation
Seed Crystals1. Crystals form all along the rough surface of the string when
there’s no seed crystal
2. When a seed crystal is present, crystals will form on it instead of the string’s rough surface

LimescaleThe Pipe“Innovations that put nature to work for you!”
Without HydroFLOW With HydroFLOW• Juice is heated in a heat exchanger
• Rapid limescale build-up reduces heat transfer
efficiency
• Each heat exchanger functions for only 6 hours
before servicing
• With HydroFLOW the heat exchanger remains
clear of limescale
Prevention of limescale in sugar production
Dissolving existing limescale• Crystals form• Creates Carbon Dioxide• Dissolves existing scale
To dissolve scale, HydroFLOW requires hard water
HH22OOCa + (HCO3)2 CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O
Hard water is water that has high mineral content . Hard water has high concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions
Before After
Dissolving existing scale
After 4 Months
HydroFLOW prevents limescale formation• Without chemicals• Without changing water composition
HydroFLOW dissolves existing limescale• Carbon dioxide is expelled as crystals are formed and gradually begins to dissolve existing limescale

How Does HydroFLOW Treat Bactaria ?
Semi-permeable membrane
• Semi-permeable membrane: lets water pass but not salt.• Water flows from dilute to concentrated region
• Bacterium cell: semi-permeable membrane• In distilled water, water flows into bacterium cell• Bacterium becomes “too diluted”, bursts and dies * Even kills “freshwater” bacteria
Osmosis and Bacteria
HydroFLOW and Bacteria1. A bacterium passing through the HydroFLOW unit becomes charged, creating a wetting layer of pure water 2. Osmosis forces water into the bacterium and causes it to burst within seconds

• HydroFLOW eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and algae passing through the unit
• No chemicals or disinfectants required
Main Benefits of HydroFLOW
Lab Test - Bacteria
Results•After one hour, the bacteria count was down to a minimal value of less than one per milliliter
This corresponds to a 99.99% reduction!
Test Method•A 50 liter water tank was filled-up with tap water•The whole fixture was sanitized before adding Staphylococcus Aureus and E. Coli to the water•The water was circulated through the HydroFLOW unit by a pump for an hour •A water sample was then taken from the tank to test the bacteria count
Bacteria clings to pipe surfaces
Fouling by bacteria and algae leads to fouling by larger organisms
How Does HydroFLOW Treat Biofilm ?
Biofilms and Bio-fouling
Bacteria and algae cling to pipe surfaces and forms a Layer known as biofilm
Biofilms and Biofouling
Larger “micro-foulers” attach to biofilm
Biofilms and Biofouling
• Biofilm attracts larvae• Larvae grow and hatch into limpets, barnacles, etc.• Biofilm leads to microbial induced corrosion
The HydroFLOW signal conducting in the metal pipe causes the release of Biofilm and
Biofoul
• No bacteria and algae means no biofilm• Larvae and micro-foulers will not attach
Metal Pipe
• HydroFLOW prevents the formation of biofilm
• HydroFLOW prevents fouling by larger organisms
• HydroFLOW prevents microbial induced corrosion

How Does HydroFLOW Enhance Filtration?
The HydroFLOW unit
charges suspended
particles, causing them
to flock so that they are
more easily filtered out of water systems
Filtration Enhancement
Particles become charged
Turbulence mixes-up particles and create flocks
Pump
Filter
Filter removes flock
• Eliminates the need for chemical flocculants
• Reduces the duration and frequency of back washing
• Improves water quality and clarity
• Reduces energy and maintenance costs
Main Benefits of HydroFLOW
How Does HydroFlow Reduce Corrosion ?
The induced AC current passing along the metal pipe creates a coaxial magnetic field which inhibits corrosion by up to 60%.

Corrosion Reduction TestConducted by: The Royal Scientific Society of Jordan
Venue:Jordan Steel company
Goal:Test effect of HydroFLOW on corrosion

Conclusion:
“Hydropath Technology can be recommended as a replacement of chemical corrosion protection”
Corrosion Reduction
• Reduces corrosion efficiently without chemicals • Preserve pipe work and apparatuses
• Reduces Operating & Maintenance Expense
