The central unit of the AQUA hydro physical development is a highly effective water reactor, which as its function principle utilise the forces of water and the oxidation potential of dissolved oxygen in the water.

Figure 1.

From a pump with an operation pressure between 5 to 8 bar (72,5 to 116.0 psi) the water is supplied to the reactor (Figure 1), which internally creates extremely high sup- and sub-water pressures as well as powerful centrifugal and centripetal water friction forces. Simultaneously the dissolved oxygen in the water is set free. The principle may be compared with the physical conditions of a cyclone.

The sup/sub pressure conditions and the created 10.000 G friction forces are of a magnitude that mechanically will tear all bacteria's, spores, germs or any organic substances in the water into totally destruction and exclude their possibility of survival.

In a second treatment phase, oxygen from the surrounding is sucked into the water reactor due to the sub-pressure conditions and being integrated as part of the continued conditioning process.

The presence of free oxygen in the supply water and the added 21% of surrounding oxygen acts as a natural cold-combustion oxidation process. In this second step, the destroyed organic micro-organism and impurities are finally exterminated by oxidation combustion.

The combination of sup/sub pressure, extreme high friction forces and the natural oxidation process inside the reactor can therefore eliminate all the micro-organic impurities in the water and effectively exclude any re-activation or breeding possibility.

The germ free and cleaned water from the top outlet of the AQUA HP System has a pressure of 1,0 to 1,5 bar (14,5 to 21,75 psi).

An additional advantage of the AQUA HP System technology to influence molecular structures is the change of the water surface tension and viscosity of the water. This improves the water properties, which in industrial applications, like washing and cleaning systems contributes significant to optimise the process.

The Legionella pneumophila bacteria spread and attack organ systems in the body within an incubation time of 2 to 12 days. Its diagnostic name is the Legionella disease and about 10% being infected will die. The symptoms are flue-like (pneumonia similar), but the disease can not be cured with penicillin. The bacteria is also associated with the Pontiac fever. A total of approx. 40 specimens of the Legionella genus are known.

The disease is not infectious from one person to the other, but mainly carried by aerosols from evaporated water like cooling or irrigation systems and hot water supplies.

The number of human Legionella bacteria's infections is world-wide increasing. In Europe alone, the European Working Group for Legionella Infections (EWGLI) estimates at present 2500 cases each year.

A great number of traveller infections are registered, where investigations concluded that hotel hot water systems, air conditionings, swimming pools or whirlpools (spa's) contained high level of bacteria's.

In the Utah, U.S.A. the Ford Motor Company was forced to close down production after 10 workers was diagnosed with the Legionella disease.

The AQUA Hydro Physical System is highly efficient for extermination of Legionella bacteria's in water supply systems.

Laboratory tests of the effect to kill dangerous Legionella bacteria's, present in a cold- and hot water supply systems to a clinical building in Berlin, was examined according to the German DVGB 552/BGA standard procedure (table 1).

The philosophy behind the AQUA HP System development is to defend bacterial influences and to protect human health risk by an environmental safe technology.

Aerosols containing organic micro-organism and in particular the dangerous Legionella bacteria is a health risk to human life and is in our modern industrial society a self made problem.

Almost everybody is expelled to infections by aerosols. Fountains and ponds in parks, swimming pools and whirlpools, cooling towers, irrigation systems, air conditionings, showers and many other modern water installations are all potential sources to infections for people, animals and plants.

In the industry, where simultaneously human protection, environmental care and the production must be considered, the new technology is suitable for treatment of solutions and waste water that provide optimal breeding conditions for a great number of organic impurities and which must be effective prevented.

The Aqua HP System has been installed in many different industrial applications. From production of metal and artificial parts like electronics chips, to preventing algae growth in green house water tanks and irrigation systems as well as cooling and cleaning solutions, all facing previous problems with unacceptable growth of organic impurities.

The installation on existing water system is simple. The water supply is connected to a pump, which gives a pressure between 5 to 8 bar (72,5 to 116 psi) and the pump output is connected to the fitting at the cabinet bottom. A build in pressure gauge indicates correct pump operation.

By one single valve adjustment, the visible air steam in the outlet acrylic outlet pipe is tuned to maximum air flow, which indicates that the sup/sub pressures is creating the necessary friction forces and a secured cold combustion oxidation operation inside the water reactor. (Figure 2)
