How does the newly patented RE~MIN Process compare with caustic? Hugh and Casey traveled with the pilot test unit to test in Ft. Myers, Florida. After running the numbers, not only were we able to reduce the chemical feed by 13%, but we were also able to achieve a positive LSI (Langelier Saturation Index).
The Langelier Saturation Index measure the corrosivity of water. A negative LSI means the water will slowly corrode the pipes. A positive LSI means the water not corrode the pipes. By targeting a zero to slightly positive targest LSI, we can create a thin film of calcium bicarbonate to coat the distribution system, saving millions of dollars for the utility by extending the life of the pipelines.
It's simple chemistry, but it works. What do you think? We have put together a great webinar to explain the process further. To watch it, just click here.
