Magnetic Water Treatment vs. Chemical Water Treatment

（MWT vs. CWT）

磁化水處理與化學水處理的比較

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，位于北卡羅萊納州研發三角公園內的醫藥業巨子──Burroughs Wellcome 公司負責營運與設備的部門主任，T. Ronald Templeton先生，在熱交換器、冷卻水塔系統上裝置了MagneGen 磁化水處理系統。

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 objected to the system.

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先生同時延請Nalco化學公司于系統中實施腐蝕取樣測試。1990年2月17日Nalco化學公司北卡羅萊納州Raleigh分公司派出的代表，由分區經理Robert Downey先生領隊，在一號塔（＃1）內，設置碳鋼取樣管19729號，1990年3月16日取下，樣品送到Nalco化學公司馬里蘭州的Laurel分析實驗室進行分析。1990年4月3日取得分析報告，內容指出，分析編號CS236884樣品的腐蝕速率低于0.1mpy。由于Templeton先生已經估計到了這種可預期的結果，于是他提前請Nalco化學公司針對Burroughs Wellcome公司相類似的二個冷卻水系統進行上述同樣的測試，時間為二個月。二個系統的水源相同，其中一套是以IMCOR化學公司的藥品加以處理，而另一套則是以MagneGen技術處理。Templeton先生告知Downey先生，他要以化學處理方式對照非化學處理方式的測試結果，來決定何者才是較好的處理方式。

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:

*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日開始，Nalco化學公司針對銅質與碳鋼材質的取樣管進行為期二個月的測試，所有的取樣處理程序與監測程序都是在Nalco化學公司代表和Burroughs Wellcome公司工程師的指導下進行，自始至終都沒有MagneGen系統的人員參與。Burroughs Wellcome公司是一家安全性極高的藥物研發實驗室，任何人沒有得到許可，是無法進入的。二組相同條件下腐蝕測試的結果，即傳統的化學水處理對照非化學的磁化水處理，由Nalco化學公司馬里蘭州的Laurel分析實驗室所提出，結果如下：
