Re: INTERIM REPORT KALK MAX IT1

Interim report concerning regular observations and inspections of the Kalk MAX IT1 electronic water treatment systems

1. Instruction
In the letter dated September 16, 1997, we were instructed to subject the above-mentioned electromagnetic water treatment systems to observations with respect to its influence on chalk deposits.

2. Execution of the inspection and observations:
In collaboration with the applicant, TGM (HTL Vienna 20, and the Test Institute for Plastics and Environment Technology) installed Kalk MAX IT1 water treatment systems at a number of locations and observed the changes in terms of deposits. In addition, test pieces were checked for deposits, chalk deposits with respect to composition were analysed with the RFA and the drinking water with the ICP.
The scope and time of the necessary observations are determined according to requirements, but last for a period of at least of 12 months. This report concerns two subjects of observation where clear results are already apparent.

3. Subject: bakery

3.1. Task:
Is the deposit on spray jets in the baking oven, which resulted and disturbed operations in the past, prevented or reduced through the installation of a Kalk MAX IT1 electromagnetic water treatment device? These jets serve to apply a surface water film to bread rolls before final baking to give them a glossy appearance.

NOTE: the installation in a bakery was selected since deposits occur on the spray jets after a short time, and hence changes in the function of the system can be detected quickly.
