Merus simple, fast, reliable

The device⁽¹⁾ is installed around the water pipe⁽²⁾ to be treated. Micro-fine oscillations influence the water in such a manner that more limescale is dissolved. The existing rust is broken down and flushed out. Due to the altered properties of the water no new corrosion builds up. The result: The piping system regains its original inner diameter. Loss of pressure and repair work are minimized

lime scale and other salts

Lime or calcium carbonate is found in almost all water in its dissolved form. Depending on hardness and temperature of the water it precipitates and deposits in pipes, machines and on surface areas. Over time these deposits build up more and more, resulting in clogged pipes, malfunctions of machines. Alone thin lime scale crusts, reduce the energy transfer in heat exchangers substantial.

Under normal conditions Merus modifies the lime in a way that makes it remain dissolved in the water up to very high temperatures and concentrations. Thus the lime and other salts are not removed from the water, but only the properties of the lime and salts are altered to the effect that it remains dissolved in water far better, up to very high concentrations.

rust and corrosion

Rust, chemically speaking Fe₂O₃, is a chemical compound made up of iron(III) and oxygen. As iron pipings are and were used in industry and also often in homes, brownish discolorations of water and pressure losses occur frequently. Sometimes rust progresses to an extent where pipes become leaky and have to be replaced.

Under normal conditions Merus is capable of lessening or even totally stopping the easier forms of the corrosion. Rust particles are dissolved and flushed out until a protective coating of black iron oxide forms on the iron. In practice this often shows when the brownish discoloration increases at first and then recedes completely more or less quickly depending on flow rates and the amount of rust existing in the first place.

operation conditions

Merus works with energy indirectly provided by the ambient temperature. The active oscillations of Merus are subject to certain interferences caused by environmental influences like for example electromagnetic pollution with substantial power. Depending on their intensity these influences are capable of reducing or even erasing the impact of Merus on water. Hence Merus devices have to be installed with a clearance of at least 50 cm to any electric conductor.

It has been detected that sometimes interferences from within, thus caused by the water or the water pipe itself, affect the device. Here Merus Engineers have devices to measure electrical fields at the place of installation, to ensure Merus Ring is installed at the best possible position and so ensure the best possible results.

Merus for industrial use

During the trail period you are able to convince yourself about the function at your system, pipe or machine. In the case there are no sufficient results, after the trail period, Merus will take back the rings.

You might check the function through:

Differential pressure (heat exchanger)
Volume in heat exchangers >>
Energy consumption
Content of Ca in closed circuits >>
Total dissolved solids >>
Visual inspection >>
Others depending on kind of application

Merus Ring sizes and availability

Merus Rings are available from sizes starting at 1/2" up to 80". Sizes up to 24" are constant on stock and can be shipped in one week.

There are different models of Merus Rings for different applications and flow rates. In several projects Merus has treated flow rates well above 20.000 m³/h

For larger devices, particularly for industrial applications, please contact us directly with a description of your application.
