Efficient Magnetic filters now offer a huge advantage in increasing the performance of water circulation & cooling systems, and their Filtration units and Filter systems / fluid conditioning, and play the major part in improving/reducing system running cost and increasing the life of system components, improving reliability and importantly availability, by effectively and efficiently removing Ferrous contamination, Iron oxide, & Magnetite from critical systems, down to sub micron levels, like never before e.g.

MagnomTM in Cooling Systems in Nuclear Power Station

A Stainless-Steel MagnomTM Module has improved system reliability in a Westinghouse managed nuclear power station in the Czech Republic.

The unit was introduced to reduce the failure of various mechanical devices such as critical automated valves in the steam lines.

The MagnomTM hwas initially installed in the Steam Generator Blow Down sample line at steam generator number 4 – Temelin Nuclear Power Plant.

The core below demonstrates clearly that the MagnomTM has removed a large quantity of debris from the system,

Prior to the installation of the MagnomTM this debris continued to circulate (much of it less than a micron in size) through the conventional filtration.

This hard and sharp particulate would have been responsible for a chain reaction of wear that would cause erosive wear on all valves and static parts of the system.

It is important that cooling systems have appropriate filtration so as to ensure equipment runs efficiently and reliably, preventing failure and downtime of processes.

Ironbridge Power Station

Ironbridge Power Station in Shropshire, UK uses Magnom units to clean general service water to the main heat exchangers, and this has helped it to avoid regular fan failures.

Due to be decommissioned in 2015, the power station burns coal from Russia, but has plans to switch to burning of wood pellets. Operators E.ON are keen to keep equipment running until closure.
