Protocol and application is based upon the art and science of U.S.
Patent No. 7,329,385 and is the intellectual property of the
inventor(s).
The Problem
Heat exchangers and cooling towers are found in many industries. The
efficiency of any exchanger can be compromised when geo-thermal wells or
cooling towers become contaminated by bacteria. Iron, sulfur and other species
of bacteria adhere to the walls of the exchanger forming a gelatinous coat of biofilm reducing heat transfer.
Occluded space increases temperature and pressure through decreased flow
within the geothermal or cooling tower side of the heat exchanger.
Insulating matter on the plates impedes heat transfer.
Bio-toxin corrosion on plate surfaces reduces the plate heat transfer coefficient.
Bio-film and planktonic bacteria can move downstream to occlude screens.
In cooling towers, bio-slime coats surfaces and pathogenic bacteria such as
legionella are released into the air.
Additional energy use and increased green house gas discharge is associated
with ineffective heat exchanger function.
Labor associated with exchanger maintenance is costly.
The Answer is
The APF Cleaning Protocol and I2 Air Infused
mixed media.
The APF protocol cleans the surfaces of the heat exchanger
and cooling towers.
A once a month procedure that requires less than one hour per
month labor time and no disassembly of the exchanger.
It does not expose the staff to caustic chemicals or biofilms.
Throughout the month, the
plate walls are continually
bathe in extremely low dose I2
bubbles which keep bio-films
from forming in various ways;
Turbulent bubbles lift and
dislodge bio-film.
Low dose Iodine reduces
microbial content
Bubble flurry prevent planktonic
bacteria from adhering to
plate surface.
Bubbles impart low dose
iodine into water for
downstream disinfection of
cooling tower and diffusion
screens
I2 Air Fluid Effectiveness
The patented I2 Air Fluid Infusor Cartridge
produces I2 infused bubbles that
•are dosed for accurate elution. Elutes only grams per month into
water stream. Adjustable based on need and standards.
•are unaffected by water temperature, turbidity, mineral content or
pH.
•converts to Eco-Friendly iodide after contact with bacteria.
•will not effect most materials.
•will have the same effect on microbes as much higher
concentrations.
•are negatively charged.
The I2 infused air molecule
eliminates free floating bacteria
and bacteria resident in existing
biolms.
The bacteria is
destroyed.
Iodine converts to
Eco-friendly iodide
and moves
downstream.
Iodine is drawn into
the cell and key
amino acids in the
respiratory chain are
broken down.
The cell wall is
exposed continually
to new low dose
iodine within the air
bubbles.
Bio-film formation 7 days post APF cleaning
without i2 bubble exposure. Note plate condition.
Does it work?
Results after 8 month protocol use; 300 GPM geothermal well system;
Inlet pressure: 13 psi avg. and outlet pressures 4 psi avg.
Total labor: 75 minutes per month with NO exchanger breakdown!
What about the diffusion screens?
“We have been running one 300 GPM supply well. We have left all 3
diffusion wells open. Each diffusion well has a
capacity of 300 GPM. In order to determine if all 3 diffusion wells are
working properly, we turned two off at a time
so that we tested each diffusion well by itself to ensure that it was
taking 300 GPM.
All 3 took the 300 GPM of water
without increases in incoming or outgoing pressure at the heat
exchanger. I took that to mean that all 3 diffusion
wells are working properly.”
