Anti Fouling Water Treatment Solution -IOREX-

What is IOREX?

IOREX produces the live water as the world's best no-power water treatment system which is developed by IOREX Co., Ltd.IOREX effectively removes and prevents rust and scale by instant ionizing water that passes through a water supplying system.This is the most natural and environment friendly water treatment system that also helps living things grow and keeps them healthy by activating water.

Basic Principle

When water passes the IOREX, static electricity arises due to friction on the contact surface.And when the electrical charge goes up by absorbing the static electricity it emits the outer nuclear electrons and becomes charged. Then, a strong staticelectricity field is created via the transfer of the electrical charge and when water passes through the static electricity field it gets instantly ionized.

Rust & Scale

*Rust formation

Rust which is formed by combination of Fe and O2 is a reddish-brown material which is called iron oxide (Fe2O3) . When an anode of pipe emits an electron and Fe2+ ion, the electron moves toward the cathode. Dissolved oxygen in water combines with the electron at the cathode and forms OH-. The formula for this process is as follows.

1) ANODE(+) : FE → FE2+ + 2e-2) CATHODE(-) : 2e- + 1/2O2 + H2O

The OH- combines with Fe2+ and forms Fe(OH)2, and Fe(OH)2 creates Fe(OH)3. Fe(OH)3 is generated from through hydrolysis.

FE2+ + 2OH- ----------------------- Fe(OH)2Fe(OH)2 + 1/2O2 + H2O ------------- 2Fe(OH)32FE(OH)3 → Fe2O3 + 3H2O

Fe2O3 x (H2O) is formed according as Fe(OH)3 loses water (H2O).Fe2O3 (Rust) remains because H2O is water.In summary,

4Fe(s) + 3O2(aq) + xH2O(1) --------- Fe2O3 x H2O

Rust causes corrosion that will finally bring water leakage.

*Prevention and removal of rust

Al which has more ionization tendency than Fe and Cu endlessly generates an electron so that it prevents ionization of Fe(iron) , which will eventually bring prevention of oxidation . Rust (Fe2O3) with electron changes to Magnetite (Fe3O4), which prevents the formation of stained water. It take 1-4 weeks to from Rust (Fe2O3) to Magnetite (Fe3O4), formation of rust is interrupted after installation. Furthermore, formed Magnetite is continually receiving electrons so that it becomes iron which does not ionize. Therefore rust remains are t horoughly removed.

*Generation of scale

When water runs through a pipe, water is charged with anode electricity while the pipe is charged with cathode electricity. Among the minerals contained in water are such anode ions as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+ and such cathode ions as SO4-, Cl-, and HCO3-. Depending on a temperature change, When more than two molecules combine chemically and they form a solid clod, which is called a scale.

Ca2+ + 2HCO3- ---------------------- CaCO3↓ + CO2 + H2OMg2+ + 2HCO3- -------------------- MgCO3↓ +CO2 + H2O

*Prevention of scale

Crystals of scales which are in the shape of 7μm needle shaped structure cohere themselves into 100 diameter of spherical shaped structure The scale crystal produced in nature state is needle-shaped structure which size is 7μm in average, and these needle-shaped structure ions pass through IOREX getting static electricity and scale particles of various type of needle-shaped structure are transformed to globular shape of average 110μm discs which grow 15times by chemical reaction and 1 volt of static electricity, then scale particles flow out with fluid in this state without clinging to pipe lines.

*Removal of scale

01.Along the needle-shape is getting transformed to globular shape, the relaxation is activated in the needle-shaped structure and it separates the combination of (+) ion and (-)ion so the scale structure of scale is destroyed little by little.02.Scales are removed by continuous hitting scale materials on the surface of an internal side od a pipe.03.Carbon dioxide (CO2) turned to spherical structure melts the scales inside of a pipe as stalactite of limestone cave.

CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O ----------------- Ca(HCO3)2
