Chlorine is
a specified biocide in cooling towers applied continuously at a residual
of .2 to .4 PPM. It will provide some micro-bio control as long as water
pH values are maintained.
However,
there still remains major problems to be considered when using chlorine as
a biocide in cooling water systems. Problems associated with heat,
sunlight, evaporation and biological demand tend to render acceptable
chlorine concentrations ineffective.
The
AgriPure
System process sidesteps traditional methodologies and associated problems
with easily measurable disinfecting residuals that are not effected by
environmental impact and pose no hazardous handling risks, the cooling
tower industry now has a viable environmentally friendly, and cost
effective way to treat cooling tower water without these problems.
The AgriPure
System will
save significant amounts of money related to bio-fouling, algae, fungi and
yeast removal.
The AgriPure
System
consists of three integrated components, the electronic control unit,
ionisation cell and
test kit.
The control
unit produces a full 5 amps of power. It is housed in an industrial grade
thermoplastic Nema 4 corrosion proof enclosure with a clear cover for easy
viewing of all control functions. The unit is tested and certified by UL
Laboratories and NSF International.

WATER
SYSTEMS
Since the isolation of an ubiquitous aquatic organism, Legionella
Pneumophila, the annual number of reported cases of legionellosis in the
U.S. have been increasing. Studies conducted at the Universities have shown
that the use of ionized copper and silver is very effective at killing
numerous species of harmful bacteria, especially legionella.
The AgriPure
System process of ionization is a viable
alternative for disinfecting water systems.
Advantages include low
cost, low maintenance and provides a disinfecting residual.
Legionella Pneumophila in
hot water hospital distribution systems has been connected with hospital
acquired Legionnaire's disease in many areas where super heat and flush and
hyper chlorination have failed.
AgriPure
Systems can reduce the threat of nosocomial
outbreaks of this disease in the hospital setting. Controlled evaluations of
the AgriPure
System have proven the efficacy of this
unique process.
