Side Flow Water Processor

The Side Flow Water Processor is an efficient, energy-saving integrated water treatment device designed for circulating water systems, featuring advanced micro-electrolysis technology to solve core water treatment problems such as bacteria, algae, corrosion, and scaling. Under the action of an appropriate applied voltage, the processor generates micro-electrolysis in the flowing water, prompting chlorine ions, oxygen molecules, and water molecules dissolved in the water to produce oxidizing substances. These oxidizing substances diffuse to all areas where water flows, directly killing bacteria and algae cells in the water through the action of electric current. Meanwhile, reactive oxygen forms an oxide film on the pipeline surface, effectively preventing further corrosion and inhibiting various microbial corrosion and deposition corrosion. 

Unlike full-flow water processors, it only treats 5% of the main circulation system’s water flow and is installed via a bypass pipeline, which is more flexible and cost-effective. It is widely used in various circulating water systems, providing reliable anti-corrosion, sterilization, and algae-removal effects while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Usage Methods

• Installation: Install the side flow water processor on the bypass pipeline of the main circulating water system, ensuring the inlet and outlet directions are consistent with the water flow direction. The pipeline connection should be tight to avoid leakage. Ensure there is enough space around the equipment for maintenance.

• Parameter Setting: Connect the power supply, adjust the applied voltage according to the water quality and treatment requirements (guided by our technical team). Set the operation mode (automatic or manual) according to actual needs.

• Start-Up Operation: Turn on the power supply, start the processor, and it will enter normal operation. The micro-electrolysis process will generate oxidizing substances, which diffuse with the water flow to achieve sterilization, algae removal, and anti-corrosion effects.

• Daily Monitoring: Regularly check the operating status of the equipment, including applied voltage, water flow, and pressure loss. Observe the water quality to ensure the treatment effect. Record the operating parameters for future maintenance reference.

• Maintenance: Clean the equipment pipeline and electrode every 1–3 months to remove accumulated impurities and ensure the micro-electrolysis effect. Check the anti-corrosion coating (if any) for damage, and repair or re-spray it in time. Inspect the power supply and connection lines regularly to ensure safe operation.

Safety Precautions

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply voltage matches the equipment’s rated voltage. Cut off the power supply before installation, maintenance, or disassembly to avoid electric shock. Keep the control panel and electrical components dry to prevent short circuits.

• Pressure Safety: Do not operate the equipment beyond the rated pressure range. Before disassembly, close the bypass pipeline valves and release the internal pressure to avoid injury or equipment damage caused by pressure release.

• Mechanical Safety: Do not touch the electrode or internal components during operation. Use appropriate tools for installation and maintenance to avoid damaging the pipeline or equipment shell. Wear protective gloves when cleaning the electrode to avoid electric shock or scratches.

• Anti-Corrosion Protection: If the equipment is used in a corrosive environment, ensure the anti-corrosion coating is intact. Avoid using the equipment in highly corrosive media without professional customization.

• Operating Environment: Do not use the equipment in an environment beyond the specified temperature (-10℃ to +60℃). Avoid installing the equipment in direct sunlight, rainy, or humid areas to prevent damage to electrical components.

• Unauthorized Disassembly: Do not disassemble the equipment or its internal components without authorization. If there is a fault (such as abnormal voltage, poor treatment effect), contact professional after-sales personnel for maintenance.

FAQ

• What is the material of the equipment?

The standard material of the side flow water processor is carbon steel, which is durable and cost-effective. For harsh working environments (such as high-corrosion circulating water systems), we provide optional anti-corrosion coatings, such as epoxy coating and zinc plating, to enhance the equipment’s corrosion resistance and extend its service life.

• What are the differences between side-stream and full-flow water processors in terms of circulation water treatment and installation methods?
