The ENiGMA Electronic Descaler is produced by Environmental
Treatment Concepts Ltd (ETC), a company that is in the forefront of
the application of and research into the ecological and economical
treatment of hard water.
Pioneering electronic water descaling since 1989, in 1990 ETC won
the What’s New in Industry Award for services to British Industry
and more recently (2004) the 100% Detail/RIBA Journal Innovation
Award for Best Product. Many years of working with universities,
water companies, the MoD and all areas of industry, including
extensive research and development, have given ETC unique specialist
experience in using this technology to solve hard water problems
around the world. ETC are also actively involved with British Water,
the UK Green Building Council and the Environmental Industries
Commission, as well as being CPD accredited for both RIBA and CIBSE.
ENiGMA patented technology offers a simple yet proven solution to
your Limescale problems whilst addressing today's issues of
Sustainability and energy awareness.

Wasted Energy
Research has shown that just 6 mm of Limescale can reduce energy
efficiency by a staggering 40%. In a moderately hard water area, 6
mm of Limescale can form in pipework, or on heat exchangers, in 2
years, costing industry around £1billion a year in the UK alone,
simply via descaling issues. Further £billions are wasted in lost
production, early renewal of capital equipment, chemicals and
increased energy bills.
Safety Issues
Bacteria, including Legionella Pneumophila, proliferate in water
systems with even moderate amounts of scaling, particularly in
systems where scale prevents water reaching sufficient temperature
to act as a biocide. Isolation, safety and/or pressure relief valves
often stop operating correctly, and therefore safely, because of
scale deposits.
 Industrial
Applications
These applications have included every conceivable method of
heating, cooling or spraying water, at temperatures ranging from
just above freezing to the heat of exhaust gases from an aircraft
jet engine running in a test rig. End users have included household
names in plastics, rubber and metal manufacture, electricity
companies, leisure centres, nursing and care homes, hospitals, food
and drink manufacturers, ships, paper and pulp manufacturers,
restaurants, mining companies and farms.
New Installations
Installed at the outset, ENiGMA will extend the efficient working
life of water systems and associated equipment, reducing maintenance
& running costs to the advantage of both building owner and the
environment, enhancing CRC compliance.
Existing Installations
Applied to systems that have become inefficient and costly because
of the build-up of Limescale, ENiGMA removes the need for chemical
intervention and the early replacement of pipework, water-fed
equipment and appliances. By dissolving the scale, ENiGMA will
restore the system to its design performance, thereby delivering
energy savings, reduced maintenance and down time alongside
augmenting CRC compliance. Experience has demonstrated that scale is
removed in a fraction of the time it has taken to form. The
resulting pay-back period can be as little as a few months, and has
rarely been longer than two years.
Pool Conditioning
Whatever the size of pool, it costs time, labour and chemicals to
ensure it is well maintained. ENiGMA is an environmentally friendly
innovation which helps keep swimming pools clean and reduces
chemical maintenance costs. It was winner of the 1994 Ideal Home
Exhibition’s Award of Excellence in the Environment Category for
keeping Swimming Pools clean without the use of excessive, corrosive
chemicals. ENiGMA can
-
Reduce swimming pool maintenance by
up to 50%-
Reduce the use of chlorine by
around 35%-
Remove scum deposits from the pool
edge-
Improve turbidity-
Return stainless steel fittings to
their former pristine condition-
Remove Limescale from within the
swimming pool plant-
Obviate the need for chemical
stabilizers to correct the pH balance-
Return on investment in under 2
years
Customised Applications
The ENiGMA can be tailored to a customer’s individual needs. Most
installations follow a detailed survey of the problem, a discussion
to agree the criteria for success, and agreement on how performance
is to be monitored and measured. If it is a completely new
application, for example on a non-water application, a Rental
Evaluation is proposed to allow both parties to establish the
efficacy of the installation before capital expenditure is incurred.
Employing this method a number of new applications have been
developed, such as the treatment of other fluids, including ferric
aluminium sulphate, zinc phosphate, sea water and milk. The
effectiveness of other processes, such as effluent solids/water
separation using polymers for flocculation, is improved by pre
treating using ENiGMA conditioning. |
