Anti-bacterial Effect

Here is data which shows anti-bacterial effect by BW water reforming device. We compared viable bacteria count of the water to which colitis germ is inoculated.
Blue is BW reformed water using BW Ω device, and Red is tap water. Number of colitis germ was counted right after colitis germ was inoculated, and after 8 hours and after 24 hours.
Number of colitis germ became almost zero with BW reformed water.

Case 2:Measurement of Legionella and O-157 at Kitasato Research Center for Environmental Science

By Ms. Ritsuko Kikuchi of Kitasato Research Center for Environmental Science

It was confirmed that BW reformed water has antibacterial power against legionella approximately 5 times of tap water. BW reformed water has antibacterial power against O-157 bacteria approximately 4 times of tap water.

Date of inspection

July 2000

Samples

(1)Tap water  (2)Reformed water by BW water reforming device

Test method

Put (1) and (2)water into 1.e glass bottles, and inject legionella and O-157 bacteria. Place each bottle still with 3 meters away each other. And, count number of colony of each bacteria right after water is put in, and 1 day later and 2 days later, total 3 times.

Case 3:Ice plant in Osaka: Measured number of common bacteria

Aquapia Co., Ltd. in Osaka prefecture

Anti-bacteria effect by BW reformed water was confirmed for ice plant using pure water. BW reformed water showed about 3 times of anti-bacteria effect in four days compared with pure water.

Case 4:A Sake brewing company in Niigata prefecture  Stop using preservatives and installed BW water reforming device

Asahi-Shuzo Sake Brewing Co., Ltd.

This is a case of long-established Sake Brewing Company. Cooling water pipe is installed in the plant for temperature control which is important for sake storage and maturing. When they stop putting in preservatives for water environmental preservation, the alarm of the refrigerator rings frequently. Each time alarm rings, two persons clean the strainer for two hours.  To eliminate this work, BW water reforming device was installed. Three months after the installation of BW device, scale with high viscosity became smooth and could be washed away by water. The alarm of the refrigerator never rang thereafter.

Case 5:Yield rate improvement in hydroponic culture

Disposal rate of tulip bulb for hydroponic culture was about 13%.
Its breakdown was 1~2% at incoming, 3% due to fungi during storage, 3% due to sprouting or rooting defects, 6% due to poor budding.

When water for hydroponic culture was improved using BW water reforming device, all the bulbs sprouted, which never happened before.

Tulips grew up well, and yield rate became almost 100%

Case 6:Life of water-soluble cutting oil was extended by 3 times more with BW reformed water

Test period

From August 5, 2008 to November 28, 2008
(Measurement was done at 1:00 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday by a senior engineer with more than 20 years of experience in metal processing.)

Factory location

BW water reformation device :Summary of other solutions

  • Reduction of sludge exhausted by buildings & factories →Cost reduction of sludge processing
  • Improvement of cleansing power →Cost reduction by less amount of cleansing liquid and environmentally friendly
  • Improvement of contamination from industrial waste water →Improvement of ocean environment and friendly to the earth

Work period is very short for BW water reforming device, because the device can be installed in water pipe. BW water reforming device can be installed in any kinds of buildings such as plant, factory, house, etc. Also, its effect is semi-permanent and maintenance cost can be reduced because the device needs to be installed only once in water supply pipe.

Please check conditions of your building or factory first.
