Magnetic Water Treatment vs. Chemical Water Treatment
(MWT vs. CWT)
磁化水处理与化学水处理的比较
In February1990 Mr.T.Ranald Templeton P.E. the Department Head of Facilities and Operations for the pharmaceutical giant Burroughs Wellcome Company in Research Triangle Park North Carolina installed a MagneGen magnetic water treatment system on a chillier-condenser-cooling tower system.
1990年2月,位于北卡罗莱纳州研发三角公园内的医药业巨子──Burroughs Wellcome 公司负责营运与设备的部门主任,T. Ronald Templeton先生,在热交换器、冷却水塔系统上装置了MagneGen 磁化水处理系统。
Mr. Templeton hired Nalco Chemical Co. to run a corrosion coupon test in the system. Nalco reps from Nalco Chemical Co.’s Raleigh NC office led by Mr. Robert Downey Area Manager installed mild steel coupon 19729 in Tower #1 on February 17 1990 and removed it on March 16 1990. It was sent for analysis to the Nalco Analytical Laboratory Laurel MD. The lab reported on April 3 1990 in their Analysis No. CS 236884 corrosion rate have less than 0.1mpy. In spite of his own company’s test results Mr. Downey
Anticipating this Mr. Templeton had already ordered Nalco to run parallel corrosion coupon tests for two more months in two similar Burroughs Wellcome chiller-condenser-cooling tower systems with the same water source one treated with chemicals by IMCOR Chemical CO. and the other with MagneGen. Mr. Templeton informed Mr. Downey that he would let the Chemical vs. No chemical tests determine which was the better system.
Templeton先生同时延请Nalco化学公司于系统中实施腐蚀取样测试。1990年2月17日Nalco化学公司北卡罗莱纳州Raleigh分公司派出的代表,由分区经理Robert Downey先生领队,在一号塔(#1)内,设置碳钢取样管19729号,1990年3月16日取下,样品送到Nalco化学公司马里兰州的Laurel分析实验室进行分析。1990年4月3日取得分析报告,内容指出,分析编号CS236884样品的腐蚀速率低于0.1mpy。由于Templeton先生已经估计到了这种可预期的结果,于是他提前请Nalco化学公司针对Burroughs Wellcome公司相类似的二个冷却水系统进行上述同样的测试,时间为二个月。二个系统的水源相同,其中一套是以IMCOR化学公司的药品加以处理,而另一套则是以MagneGen技术处理。Templeton先生告知Downey先生,他要以化学处理方式对照非化学处理方式的测试结果,来决定何者才是较好的处理方式。
Copper and Mild Steel coupon tests were run for two months by Nalco beginning March 16 1990. All coupon handling and system monitoring was conducted by the Nalco reps and Burroughs Wellcome engineers. No MagneGen personnel were involved in any way. Burroughs Wellcome is a highly secured pharmaceutical research laboratory with no unauthorized entry. The results of the parallel corrosion tests comparing traditional chemical water treatment with no chemical magnetic water treatment were reported by Nalco Chemical Company Analytical Laboratory Laurel MD as follows:
Condenser & Tower #1 (Protected by MagneGen) | Condenser & Tower #2 (Protected by IMCOR) | ||||
Date | Coupon Material | Corrosion Rate | Date | Coupon Material | Corrosion Rate |
03/16/90 | Mild Steel | <0.1mpy |
|
|
|
04/16/90 | Mild Steel | 0mpy | 04/16/90 | Mild Steel | 1.8mpy |
04/16/90 | Copper | 0.2mpy | 04/16/90 | Admiralty Brass* |
(0.4mpy) |
05/21/90 | Mild Steel | 0.3mpy | 05/21/90 | Mild Steel | 4.5mpy |
05/21/90 | Copper | 0mpy | 05/21/90 | Copper | 0.1mpy |
*This coupon was supposed to be copper to match the MagneGen system copper coupon. Add 0.1mpy to the reported 0.3mpy.
*(When asked for a deposit (scale) report on the MagneGen coupons the lab reported that there wasn’t enough to analyze!)
1990年3月16日开始,Nalco化学公司针对铜质与碳钢材质的取样管进行为期二个月的测试,所有的取样处理程序与监测程序都是在Nalco化学公司代表和Burroughs Wellcome公司工程师的指导下进行,自始至终都没有MagneGen系统的人员参与。Burroughs Wellcome公司是一家安全性极高的药物研发实验室,任何人没有得到许可,是无法进入的。二组相同条件下腐蚀测试的结果,即传统的化学水处理对照非化学的磁化水处理,由Nalco化学公司马里兰州的Laurel分析实验室所提出,结果如下:
交换器&一号塔(由MagneGen系统保护)交换器&二号塔(IMCOR药品保护)
使用MagneGen | 使用化学药物 | ||||
日期 | 取样管材质 | 腐蚀速率 | 日期 | 取样管材质 | 腐蚀速率 |
3/16/90 | 碳钢 | 低于0.1mpy |
|
|
|
4/16/90 | 碳钢 | 0mpy | 4/16/90 | 碳钢 | 1.8mpy |
4/16/90 | 铜 | 0.2mpy | 4/16/90 | 海军黄铜* | 0.3mpy(0.4mpy) |
5/21/90 | 碳钢 | 0.3mpy | 5/21/90 | 碳钢 | 4.5mpy |
5/21/90 | 铜 | 0mpy | 5/21/90 | 铜质 | 0.1mpy |
*取样管材质原应为铜质,以便与MagneGen系统铜质取样管相对照。所以由原来的0.3mpy另加0.1mpy。
*(要求水垢报告时,根据实验室报告,MagneGen系统取样管上的量,不够分析之用!)
When the tests were concluded the above results were obviously irrefutable; Mr. Templeton ordered all cooling system chemical water treatment stopped. Several hundreds MagneGen were installed on the above systems totaling 8325 tons of cooling. They are still there and over the last 5 years all subsequent coupon tests water tests and condenser-tube eddy current tests have confirmed the 1990 Nalco corrosion coupon laboratory test results above.
测试完毕后,上述数据显示的结果不容质疑,所以Templeton先生下令停止所有冷却系统的化学水处理,而于上述系统中全部换装MagneGen产品,系统冷却量可以达到8325吨。这些系统依然被继续使用,同时在过去5年来,所有后来再做的取样测试,水测试以及热交换器管线的涡流测试等都一再证明1990年Nalco化学公司腐蚀取样管测试报告的正确性。
Mr. Templeton documented the tests the continuing performance of the nonchemical magnetic water treatment system and the resulting tremendous savings to Burroughs Wellcome Company in three letters dated July 23.1990 August 121992 and July 71995. Copies of his letters and the Nalco lab reports are enclosed.
Templeton先生详细地将以上测试情况以及后续这套非化学磁化水处理系统的操作状况以及可观的节省效益,完整记录在写给本公司的三封信当中,日期分别为1990年7月23日、1992年8月12日以及1995年7月7日。信件与Nalco化学公司测试报告的影本都在附件内。
This year 1995 Glaxo inc. purchased Burroughs Wellcome Company for $14 Billion. Due to these fortunate circumstances we can now release this information without affecting Mr. Templeton’s position or the former Burroughs Wellcome Company.
1995年,Glaxo股份有限公司以一百四十亿美元买下了Burroughs Wellcome公司,也因为此种难得的机缘,我们现在才可以公布这些资料,而不会影响到Templeton先生的职责,或是原来的Burroughs Wellcome公司。
