Electromagnetic decalcification

After 15 years of research and development, we now have the latest generation of physical water treatment with the Smart-Flow technology EMF (electro-magnetic field).

Our control unit automatically adjusts dynamic electromagnetic fields which act on the lime crystals in flowing media against lime scale deposits. It also reduces the surface tension of the flowing medium.

Our pure physical EMF solution - Smart-Flow - has a wide range of applications; with a focus on difficult applications and large-scale projects in industry and sewage treatment plants against limescale deposits:

  • in heat exchangers
  • on pipelines for hot water or for very hard water/medium
  • on pipelines for water after dewatering of sewage sludge
  • on leachate pipelines at landfills
  • on fillers in stripping columns
