Boguard is the anode impressed current electronic entirely developed by
Emmeti and self-regulating of the protection potential which safeguards
any bad surfaces exposed to corrosion, as specified in accordance with
DIN4753 Part 3, paragraph 4.2.3 up to 100 cm² of the inner surface of
tanks and kettles made of steel and enameled with plastic resins or
vitrified, within the 5000 liters capacity.
Unlike other kinds of electronic anodes on the market, Boguard
counters corrosive effects without producing a significant amount of
hydrogen in the tank. As well as being a flammable gas, if there are
non-minimal amounts, this may lead to the deterioration of some kinds of
coatings inside the tank.
BoGuard has a series of new functions that make it a unique product
on the market:
1) "Booster" function upon start-up that releases the
maximum potential for a limited amount of time in order to accelerate
the process to ensure protection for the tank.
2) Reports optimal operation.
3) Reports excessive tank absorption.
4) Reports when the tank absorption is under the threshold,
indicates when there is a poor electric contact between the equipment
and the activated titanium anode or water with extremely low electric
conductivity.
5) Reports if the electric circuit is open, for instance a
disconnected cable between the equipment and the activated titanium
anode
6) Reports a short-circuit between the positive pole and negative
pole of the activated titanium anode
7) Count of the anode's operating time under optimal conditions (no
faults), expressed in years and months. It is shown upon start-up and
cannot be changed.
8) Detection of electric leakage and stray currents (both direct
current and alternated current) affecting the tank and that might
significantly contribute to corroding the inside of the tank itself.
These can be minor currents and therefore, although they do not
trigger the system's electrical safety devices, they can cause
considerable corrosive phenomena.
9) Reports installation faults, for instance exchangers with
ineffective or missing dielectric joints.
Thanks to its features, Boguard is covered by a European patent
application.
