Application: |
Drain Line Protection
|
|
Solution: |
Many LKC Systems are installed in drain lines for preventing deposition of salts, silicones, and slurries of various types from plugging drain lines. We have solved problems that were costing $10,000.00 every two weeks to have drain lines hydro blasted.

|
|
|
|
Application: |
Paint Spray Booths
|
|
Solution: |
The LKC System maintains cleaner walls by eliminating spray nozzle fouling. This allows an even flow over the surface and a better scrubbing action of the walls by the water. It has also been proven that when the paint is exposed to the treatment, it has a tendency to become less sticky, referred to as dead paint.

|
|
|
Application: |
Plastics - Blow Molding
|
|
Solution: |
Areas of treatment with LKC System in plastics include cooling molds for injection molding and blow molding, and extrusion cooling water. Other applications in plastics manufacturing plants include hydraulic cooling, water cooled air compressors which are normally on the main cooling tower system plus rest room or potable water in the plant. The LKC System will maintain clean surfaces in molds and heat exchange surfaces allowing the water to extract heat more efficiently. Additional benefits include:
-
the reduction or elimination of the use of chemicals
-
Reduces cycle time
-
Increases production
-
Reduce maintenance and down time
-
Improve quality of parts
-
Reduces static dramatically (very useful in areas of moving small plastic parts, i.e. pellets).
-
Increase equipment life
Note: 1/8" of scale will decrease efficiency by 25%. The LKC will keep efficiency at it's highest with little or no maintenance.

|
|
|
Application: |
Zebra Mussel Control
|
|
Solution: |
After a routine checkup of an LKC installation at US Steel in Chicago, they realized the pipe with the LKC installed was the only pipe free of zebra mussels. We immediately began testing on the LKC effects on zebra mussels and we had found that the molecular structure of the LKC treated water prevents the calcium carbonate lattice structure formation, which is the foundation for the zebra mussel to build its shell. Without the shell, the zebra mussel cannot survive the environment surrounding its body. It simply dies from exposure.

|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
Boilers
|
|
Solution: |
In boiler applications the LKC System is placed between the pump and the boiler. Forces exerted on the atoms in the water prevent the calcium carbonate (scale) from forming. Boiler will operate at maximum efficiency. Sludge is discharged from the boiler during the blow down procedure. An amine must be used to eliminate corrosion in steam lines.

|
|
|
|
Application: |
Cooling Towers
|
|
Solution: |
In cooling tower applications the LKC System is installed in the recirculating line on the discharge side of the pump. The solids are flocculated (settled) to the bottom of the tower where they are discharged during blow down. All equipment in the system, as well as the cooling tower will be clean of scale and operate at maximum efficiency. Algaecides should still be used to control organic fouling.

|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
High Rise Buildings
|
|
Solution: |
The water pressure needed to pump water from the bottom to top increases each day as scale buildup occurs. Chemical treatment breaks away the scale, but eats away trace amounts of the pipes as well. Over time this leads to a need to replace the pipework in the building causing an expense which is more than anyone wishes to endure. The LKC keeps pipes at maximum efficiency without any harm to the pipes. Other benefits include a softening effect of the water, helps with any in house laundry facilities
and greater water pressure throughout the entire building.

|
|
|
|
Application: |
Hot Water Heaters & Recirculation Systems
|
|
Solution: |
Hot water heaters have a tendency to scale very badly, even in areas where water is considered good quality. This is due to the high temperature of the metal surfaces in which the water is in contact with while being heated. If scale is present, gas fired and electric hot water heaters will operate at minimum efficiency. The life of the electric heating element is drastically reduced if the element is covered with scale The LKC System will eliminate scaling, resulting in operating at maximum efficiency and extending the life of the equipment and as an additional benefit you will get hotter water!

|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
Ice Machines
|
|
Solution: |
The LKC System will eliminate common problems associated with calcium scale build up in ice machines. Scale reduces cycle time and equipment must be shut down for cleaning. The LKC System will prevent calcium deposits, decreasing cycle time, allowing more ice to be produced per day. We have had customers who were going to buy additional ice machines, but the LKC System allowed them to produce more ice than needed with existing equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
Irrigation Systems
|
|
Solution: |
LKC lowers surface tension of the water allowing the water to penetrate the soil as if it were treated with a wetting agent. The water will also absorb more nutrients resulting in higher yields in crops, or greener grass in lawns or golf club turf and use much less water in doing so.
|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
Laundries
|
|
Solution: |
Reduce soap usage by at least 30% and increase hot water heater efficiency by keeping it clean and free of scale which constitutes a major savings.

|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
Refrigeration Compressors
|
|
Solution: |
The efficiency of a refrigeration compressor is directly related to the amount of scale on the heat exchanger surface. The LKC System will prevent the deposition of scale, resulting in the unit running at maximum efficiency. Saves you money, increases your equipment life and reduces maintenance and downtime!

|
|
|
|
Application: |
Steel Mill & Heavy Industrial Process Water
|
|
Solution: |
A large percentage of the HEAVY INDUSTRIAL accounts have rivers or lakes as there prime water source. Many of them use water on a single pass system in which water is pumped to the plant, through the process, and goes back to the river or lake. In these cases the LKC System is placed in the line as it enters the plant and the entire plant is treated. The only exception would be where there are recirculating systems independent to the main line, such as cooling towers or boilers that have there own recirculating loops. In these cases they must be treated independent as described previously.

|
|
|
Application: |
Swimming Pools/Spas
|
|
Solution: |
The benefits of using the Swimming Pool/Spa Treatment System are numerous. The most exciting is definitely the fact that it can reduce the amount of chemicals needed by approximately 30%. Other wonderful benefits include better filtration, clearer water, eliminating the "pool ring" or making soft enough to wipe off easily, eliminates water heater problems and increases the life of your pump, filter, plumbing. Less chemicals also means a much healthier pool for your family and better for the environment! The same benefits apply to whirlpool baths, steam rooms, and other spa equipment.

Application: |
Oil/Water Separation
|
|
Solution: |
The LKC System causes water and oil to separate by altering the bond between them. Typically, the LKC system, when installed on an oil/water separator will increase the efficiency to acceptable standards without using the costly chemical additives. In an actual application, the LKC System lowered the water content from 8% to .4%.

|
|
Application: |
Flour Production
|
|
Solution: |
The LKC System reduces the amount of static electricity in the flour, resulting in an improved movement of the flour.
|
|
|
|
|
Application: |
Styrofoam Pellet Production
|
|
Solution: |
The LKC System reduces the amount of static electricity in the pellets. The movement of the pellets through the pipes causes static electricity. The increase of friction reduces the size of each pellet, resulting in a dramatic loss over a period of time.
