There are some industries that need it, but injection molding is normally one that does not need it.  It is plain and simple overkill.  Why?\n<br><br>\nIt is being used to mask the problem of incorrect corrosion protection.  A very common corrosion inhibitor is causing what we call the \u201cFanta Effect\u201d \u2013 that is orange coloured water that can barely be filtered. Basically, the corrosion inhibitor allows rust half way, stops it from becoming black\/brown rust, but does not stop it eating away at the substance of your forms, machines, and pipes.\n<br><br>\nIf you use ultrafiltration, you can filter this junk out.   But you are just masking a serious corrosion problem.<br><br>\nIf you have fallen for the ultrafiltration hype, take a sample of your water before your filter, or turn it off for a while.  What about the filter elements you had to replace up till now?  Are they orange? What is the colour of the water?  How good is your corrosion protection?  Are you seeing your investment in machines and forms erode and slowly build up on the expensive filter elements you have to keep replacing.\n<br><br>\nWhat is the solution?  Stop the \u201cFanta Effect\u201d with corrosion protection that really works. E.g. EMC KS20.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7a55ee e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a7a55ee\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fed7806 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"fed7806\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/uploads\/P66KORRD8.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" tabindex=\"-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BilligDachKuehler_400x.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1984\" alt=\"Billig K\u00fchlwasser Anlage\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BilligDachKuehler_400x.png 400w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BilligDachKuehler_400x-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BilligDachKuehler_400x-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h2 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/uploads\/P66KORRD8.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Low Capital Cost Cooling water Systems \u2013 Filled with sludge!<\/a><\/h2><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">So your purchasing and management approved the lowest bidder to supply your cooling water system.

Now the management are on your back about the lost production.<br><br>\n\nWhat can you do?\nSorry your company bought the wrong equipment!  The money is gone. We can\u2019t change that for you.  We can help you deal with the symptoms of a short-sighted decision by management.\n<br><br>\nThe problem needs to be attacked at the source, rather than the symptoms.\nThe sources are:<br>\n-\tOpen circuits allowing air and bacteria to enter the cooling water<br>\n-\tPoor choices of corrosion protection chemicals<br>\n-\tLack of or the wrong kind of filtration <br>\n-\tThe wrong kind of water treatment\n<br><br>\nTo fix it \u2013 you can\u2019t do any of this by half.  For example, flushing the system clean might be a temporary help, but you give the same causes a fresh start \u2013 new metal surfaces to corrode, new water for bacteria to colonize, fresh chemicals for them to eat.

Good form design, clean form changes, are all important.<br><br>\nBut then it happens and the system is full of this awful mess.  Everything gets coated in a white grey goo.\n<br><br>\nThree steps help:<br>\n-\tWash it out with the right chemicals<br>\n-\tFilter it out with the right media <br>\n-\tKeep the system bacteria free<br><br>\nWe supply a chemical and a technique to do the wash out step without causing a stop to production.<br><br>\nIn severe cases we can also assist in flushing with pigs and shock cleaning.<br>\nIn cases with limited contamination, or ones just flushed, two stage filtration helps.  Our EMM Superpor media is superior to quarz and glass based media, as it has extra absorption capacity for oil particles. Micro filtration using lipophyllic Cartridges works well as the next stage.<br><br>\nKeeping the system bacteria free is important.  Small amounts of oil offer bacteria food to grow on.

They also keep things alkaline, stopping the acidic attack.  We also help you to use water that has nothing that can produce scale.\n<br><br>\nSolution 2: Filling:<br>\nIdeally if you treat your entire cooling water to the same standard, and degass it sufficiently, then the fill water used on your temperature control units will be optimized as well.  If this is not possible, we have \u201cisland\u201d solutions.

Haben Sie den gesamten Sauerstoff entfernt? War das m\u00f6glich? Ist es nun korrosionssicher? Wie lange hat es gedauert bis es rostet?\n\n<br><br>\nDie VDI 6044 empfiehlt viele Verfahren, wie z. B. die Reduzierung der Salz- und Gaskonzentrationen.  Zu diesem grundlegenden Punkt haben wir nichts zu beanstanden. Wie dies jedoch von einigen in der Branche umgesetzt wird, l\u00e4sst uns nur den Kopf sch\u00fctteln.\n<br>\nIonenaustausch zur Entfernung von Sauerstoff - sogn. Sauerstoffzerrpatronen: Die Methode funktioniert chemisch.  Als Endverbraucher wissen Sie jedoch nicht, wann das Ger\u00e4t keine Kapazit\u00e4t mehr hat.  Bei jedem Sauerstofftest wird die Probe mit Sauerstoff kontaminiert, was zu dem Ergebnis f\u00fchrt, dass sich \u201eSauerstoff\u201c im System befindet, sodass Ihr Lieferant sagen kann: \u201eDer Harz ist abgelaufen, Sie brauchen Neues!\u201c  Das ist gro\u00dfartig f\u00fcr ihn, da jeder Besuch mehr Geld f\u00fcr ihn bedeutet.\n<br><br>\nEs k\u00f6nnte aber auch wahr sein, da Sie nicht verhindern k\u00f6nnen, dass Sauerstoff in hermetische K\u00fchlwasser-Systeme eindringt. Hanf, Gummimembranen und Pumpendichtungen k\u00f6nnen Sauerstoff ins Wasser lassen.\n<br>\nWenn Sie nicht zur ESA oder NASA geh\u00f6ren, vergessen Sie es, Ihr System zu 100 % abdichten zu wollen.\n<br><br>\nWas passiert, wenn Ihr Sauerstoffzerrpatrone-Harz \u201eundicht\u201c ist?  In der Regel handelt es sich dabei um gef\u00e4hrliche Sulfid- und Sulfit-Ionen.  Denken Sie an Batteries\u00e4ure!\n<br>\nDar\u00fcber hinaus werden durch die Ionenaustausch-Sauerstoffentfernung CO2, N2 und andere Gase nicht entfernt.  Die VDI 6044 erw\u00e4hnt N2 Blasen als Erosionsverusacher.  Niedrig N2 Werte sind nur mit Entgasung zu erriechen.\n<br><br>\nDie Vollentsalzung ist wichtig. Wir empfehlen sie immer. Das resultierende Wasser ist jedoch so mineralstoffarm, dass es Ihre Metalle angreift, selbst wenn kein Sauerstoff vorhanden ist.\n<br>\nSie m\u00fcssen noch etwas mehr tun. Sie m\u00fcssen in der Lage sein, ihre Metalloberfl\u00e4chen sofort zu passivieren, auch wenn Ihr Sauerstoffgehalt niedrig ist und das hei\u00dft: Verwendung von geeignete Korrosionsschutzmittel.\n<br><br>\nDie Wissenschaft kennt verschiedene Potenziale f\u00fcr die Auswaschung von Metallen im Wasser.  Kupfer und Blei werden h\u00e4ufig von Trinkwasserspezialisten verwendet, aber auch Zink und Eisen spielen eine Rolle.  In allen F\u00e4llen haben diese Metalle das h\u00f6chste Potenzial, sich im Wasser aufzul\u00f6sen, wenn das Wasser in seinem reinsten Zustand ist. Selbst in Abwesenheit von Sauerstoff kann Wasser Metallhydroxid-Korrosionsprodukte bilden. Dies ist ein Punkt, an dem die Grenzen der Empfehlungen der VDI 6044 deutlich werden die auch in andere Regelwerke und Wissenschaftlichen Quellen findbar sind.   Reines Wasser ist gef\u00e4hrlich f\u00fcr Metalle.  Sie ben\u00f6tigen mehr Schutz als nur die Entfernung von Sauerstoff!\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af42cad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"af42cad\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e98d4e elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"3e98d4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/uploads\/P66KORRD8.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" tabindex=\"-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2214\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NOOxygen-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h2 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmak.de\/uploads\/P66KORRD8.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Warum verkaufen wir keine Sauerstoffzerrpatronen? <\/a><\/h2><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Wir verstehen sie sehr gut. Mann kann damit jede Menge Geld verdienen!<br><br>\nDie einfache Antwort lautet: Wir glauben die Werbespr\u00fcche nicht, dass sie gut genug funktionieren, und wir erzielen ohne sie bessere Ergebnisse. Wir verkaufen nur was wir garantieren k\u00f6nnen.<br><br>\nDie meisten harzbasierten SO3-&gt;SO4-Systeme sind nicht garantiert Ion-Leck frei. Das bedeutet, dass SO3 und SO4 versehentlich in das System gelangen k\u00f6nnen. Dabei handelt es sich um Ionen, die selbst in sehr geringen Konzentrationen schwere Korrosion verursachen.<br><br>\nDie Reaktionszeit dieses Prozesses zur Bindung von Sauerstoff ist langsamer als die Reaktion von Sauerstoff mit Metallen wie Eisen und Kupfer (siehe FW 510 6.5.4.).  Das bedeutet, dass Ihr Metall korrodiert, bevor der Sauerstoff in der Patrone gebunden wurde. Die K\u00fchlwassertemperaturen sind oft niedrig, was diesen Prozess noch weiter verlangsamt.\n<br><br>\nSobald anaerobe Bedingungen herrschen, finden die schlimmsten korrosionsverursachenden Bakterien die notwendigen Voraussetzungen, um aus sehr geringen Konzentrationen von Schwefelverbindungen wie SO3, SO4 und H2S korrosive S\u00e4uren zu produzieren.\n<br><br>\n- Mit dieser Methode lassen sich vollst\u00e4ndige Passivierungsschichten nicht schnell genug herstellen. Die Ionenwanderung (nicht unbedingt Rost) kann nicht verhindert werden. Die Oxidation findet weiterhin statt, auch wenn kein oder wenig Sauerstoff vorhanden ist.<br>\n- Teilstromsysteme werden h\u00e4ufig mit Entionisierungsfiltern kombiniert. Warum wenn man schon VE-Wasser als Nachf\u00fcllwasser verwendet hat? Um sowohl die aus dem Sauerstoffzerrpatrone austretenden Schwefelverbindungen als auch die aus den Materialien austretenden Metallionen aufzufangen. Das bedeutet, dass die Probleme durch die Beseitigung der von ihnen verursachten Verschmutzungen verdeckt werden!<br>\n- Die Betriebskosten f\u00fcr den regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Austausch der Harze betragen bis zum Zw\u00f6lffachen der Kosten anderer Technologien. (Laut Google KI \u2013 die Durschnitts-Kosten von Sauerstoffzehrpatronenbetrieb sind ca. 600 EUR\/Monat).<br>\n- Es gibt z.Z. keine praktikabel kosteng\u00fcnstige M\u00f6glichkeit, zu testen, ob ein Sauerstoffzerrpatrone den Sauerstoff entfernt hat oder die Materialien korrodiert sind. Ebenso gibt es keine kosteng\u00fcnstige M\u00f6glichkeit, festzustellen, ob der Sauerstoffzerrpatrone aufgebraucht ist! (Siehe dazu VDI 6044 5.1.8 Anmerkung 1)<br><br>\n\nWir bevorzugen die Kombination unserer Nebenstrom-Vakuumentgasung, mit der der Gehalt an gel\u00f6stem Gas um bis zu 92 % der urspr\u00fcnglichen NKG-Werte reduziert werden kann, um eine sehr geringe Konzentration an Sauerstoff und anderen Gasen zu erzielen. Anschlie\u00dfend nutzen wir die geringe Sauerstoffkonzentration mit schnell wirkenden anodischen Inhibitoren, um \u201eblitzschnell\u201c eine Passivierungsschicht zu erzeugen oder sogar zu reparieren, wodurch verhindert wird, dass unkontrollierte Metallionen ins Wasser gelangen. Unsere praktischen Erfahrungen zeigen, dass dies funktioniert und die Betriebskosten deutlich niedriger sind als bei der Sauerstoffzerrung.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fachartikel, Infobl\u00e4tter, Whitepapers, spezielle Beitr\u00e4ge Unsere einzigartige Technologien und &#8222;Know How&#8220; brauchen mehr als ein Paar Zeilen zu erkl\u00e4ren.
