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.
