In contrast to relying on salts and chemicals, Magnation’s passive inline water solutions decrease the impact on the environment through physical water conditioning. Magnation’s systems address critical water issues with an innovative scale reduction, scale removal, and scale prevention strategy. Physical water conditioning uses physics to change the crystal structure of the molecules that create scale. Changing the molecular characteristics removes properties that allow scale-causing minerals to drop out and adhere to other surfaces. Magnation water solutions break the large scale-producing molecules into microscopic particles. Because the inactive, suspended particles flow freely, turbulence pushes minerals through the system — without the use of chemicals. ![magnation-scale-formation-1](https://blog.magnationwater.com/hs-fs/hubfs/magnation-scale-formation-1.jpg?width=725&name=magnation-scale-formation-1.jpg) ### Reduce the Dangers of Biofilm Biofilm and bacteria plague cooling towers, evaporative condensers, piping, and hot water systems with foul odors and the risk of infectious diseases. Magnation water solutions alter the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the water to reduce the potential for microorganisms attaching to surfaces and forming biofilm. Rather than dosing industrial systems with biocides, scale and corrosion inhibitors, or dispersants — which can increase the risk of bacterial resistance and harm to the environment — Magnation systems use generated magnetic fields and fluid dynamics to dissolve and flush the minerals in the bulk fluid flow. ### Improve Flow and Conserve Energy The high viscosity of hard water produces friction that leads to greater wear and tear on equipment and higher energy costs. Magnation water descaling units produce energy savings of up to 40% by reducing viscosity and friction. Pumps perform better, require less maintenance, and have longer service life spans. Reducing friction also improves the heat transfer in cooling systems, decreases downtime, and cuts energy requirements. Magnation’s maintenance-free water scale removal technologies help oil and gas production units, agricultural applications, processing plants, manufacturing facilities, mining operations, and other industries save water, reduce chemical use, conserve energy, and decrease costs. Magnation’s complete line of easy-to-use water technology products includes a two-year, money-back guarantee, along with world-class support.
