METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING FOULING IN WATER SYSTEMS

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to methods, devices and systems that treat multiple modes of fouling throughout water systems. More specifically, the present disclosure comprises an electrochemical reaction tank that treats fouling due to, for example, corrosion, scale formation, microbial growth and/or particulate build-up in water.

主权项

1. A process for treating fouling in water systems, the process comprising:
delivering water to a cooling tower for cooling the water; delivering some of the water from the cooling tower to an electrochemical cell reaction tank, to define a flow of treated water, the reaction tank comprising an anode and at least two cathodes, wherein the anode is positioned between the at least two cathodes; supplying current to the reaction tank from a controller power supply such that scale deposits form on a surface of the at least two cathodes; delivering the treated water to a basin; delivering the remaining water from the cooling tower toward a condenser to define a flow of carrier water; delivering the carrier water from the condenser into the cooling tower and toward the basin; and combining the flow of treated water with the flow of carrier water in the basin.
