Operating Principle of Smart Rod Systems

Smart Rod System enhances the 'Zeta Potential'(by application of 30-35 KV DC high voltage), boosting the surface charge of colloidal particles, causing them to repel one another & from wetted surfaces as well, making them remain in suspension at all times (that would otherwise combine to form scales or biofilms in water systems), thus preventing Scale built-up & Biological fouling.

Typical installation of Smart Rod in Cooling Tower basin

Applications of Smart Rod Systems include the following:
  1. For efficient and clean operation of Cooling Towers with greatly reduced Make up water & Blow-down frequencies(by enabling them to operate at relatively higher COC).

  2. For consistent performance of Chillers by retarding the growth of scale and biofilm built-up in their Evaporators and Condensors.

  3. For RO Membrane Fouling prevention(for continuous & higher through put at all times) with significantly reduced CIPs with increased membrane life span.

  4. For enhanced performane of Steam Generators and small to medium sized Boilers.

  5. For optimized heat transfer of Heat Exchangers in CPI Industries and Surface Condensors in Power plant (by keeping their tubes clean at all times) and preventing expensive downtimes.

  6. For continuous operation of MEEs to enable ETPs operate at full capacity at all times and reduce the CIP cycles.

Smart Rod System removes scale & biofouling from the Surface of RO membranes

Salient features of Smart Rod Systems:
  1. Easy to install and incorporate in existing set-ups being very compact in size.

  2. No moving parts and therefore, practically nil maintenance.

  3. Has very low operating cost as it consumes only around 0.005 Kw electricity.

  4. Can be incorporated in Stagnant as well as FLowing water systems as well.

  5. Can be scaled up or infinity Capacity.

  6. Mildly increases the pH level of water, reducing the corrosion rates of Pipes, Tubes and Fittings.

  7. Reduces load to the ETP systems due to lower water wastages & thus its operating cost.

  8. Enables extremely fast payback periods due to reduction in usage of Scale, Biofilm and Algae prevention Chemicals, Chemical storage space, reduced labour inputs & less water wastages.

Smart Rod enhances Chiller performance by ensuring clean tubes all times
