Electronic Water Treatment
ELIMINATES USE OF ALL WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS, AND THEREFORE THEIR RELEASE TO
THE ENVIRONMENT VIA BLOWDOWN AND DRIFT
&
PREVENTS SCALE FROM FORMING
&
CONTROLS MICROBIAL GROWTH
Degrades and removes old scale, encrustation and bio-film Creates conditions that stop localized and uniform corrosion Allows potentially significant water savings

Boiler Application
Carbonates precipitate as a powderEliminates need for water softener and phosphates
Precipitation lowers alkalinity of boilerEliminates formation of CO2 and need for amines
Old scale will flake off over timeImproves heat transfer efficiencies

17Corrosion Performance in Boilers
No Localized Attack • No pitting
• Less CO2 generation avoids acid corrosion in boiler condensate return lines (pH of 7.0 to 8.4)
Uniform Attack • Boiler operates at a pH of 10.5 where iron and steel develop
a passive magnetite surface resulting in negligible uniform corrosion

Pollution Prevention
• Biocides can cause problems in sewer treatment plants
• Some anti-corrosion additives contain heavy metals (Zn and Mo)
• Many chemicals in concentrated form fall under OSHA regulations
• Phosphates and brine are a concern in discharges
• Drift carrying chemicals can cause employee relations issues

Conclusions
• The Dolphin is an alternative to chemical treatment on cooling towers and boilers.
• The Dolphin is in commercial use under a variety of water conditions.
• The Dolphin is a rugged system that is tolerant of some neglect.

22Appendix Zeta Potential
•Tiny, non-symmetric crystals (proto-crystals) with strong surface
charges develop high zeta potentials (diffuse counter-ion charge).
•Proto-crystals repel due to this high zeta potential
•Vibrating the particles at their resonant frequency with an electro-magnetic field, homogenizes the diffuse counter-ion charges, lowers the zeta potential and allows agglomeration .

28Appendix Water Savings
With a Dolphin the cycles of concentration can be increased to 8 or more. (Typically chemically controlled towers are run at 2 to 4 cycles.)
On a 1000 ton cooling tower, going from 3 cycles to 8 can save up to 10,000 gals/day.
Typical cost of water and disposal in most areas is $3.50 per 1000 gals ($35 per day).
