Abstract: Unwanted material in water, such as Legionella and scale, may be treated using a combination of technologies. Components of each technology may be controlled using a database, such as an Internet-of-things (IoT) database. An additional advantage of the treatment technologies is an increase in the efficiency of heat transfer components, such as cooling towers, and a related reduction in carbon footprint.

Abstract: Feedwater is treated using a combination of techniques, including the integration of a brine solution to promote the formation of reactive and molecular species in the feedwater with electrolytic ionization, the application of electromagnetic fields and the application of plasma fields. The integrated, combined techniques offer an improved treatment of scale forming ions, bacteria and biological contaminants in feedwater.
