Aqua-4D® Physical Water Treatment - Livestock -

2

Permanent elimination of biofilm in water pipes without chemicals

Improved dissolution of additives and medicines

Elimination and prevention of scaling, iron and manganese deposits

An eco-friendly solution to increase the profitability of the integrator and the farmer



Water properties

3

Electrical dipole Hydrogen bridge

Water, due to its properties, is very sensitive to electromagnetic fields

Water, at the base of the life, is the most current of the liquids but remains diverting and mysterious from its anomalies.



Aqua-4D® principle

4

Planet Horizons Technologies patented key know-how is the frequency and intensity combinations which can resolve specific problems.

Because of its dipole properties, water behaves like a magnet and can be influenced (electro-) magnetically.



What are biofilms ?

5

biofilm harbor harmful microorganisms

Complex matrix of bacteria, fungi, and algae bound together in a sticky gel of polysaccharide and other organic contaminants attached to a surface

Generally form on any wet surface and are consequently found in many types of environments, especially in livestock drinking water systems



Why biofilms are found ?

6

Especially in animal production drinking water systems

Organics particles coming from tape or wells water and nipples forms the biofilm.

Enclosed watering systems operate on low pressure, producing no turbulence that can breakup biofilms.

High water temperature. Nutrients supplied by glucose used with

medicines

Where are biofilms found ?



Consequences of biofilms presence?

7

This will affect the profitability of the integrator and the farmer

Poor feed conversion Lowered egg production, Increased mortality Negative impact on medication and

vaccines delivered through the water lines Clogging of nipple drinkers Large variation in production



Classical chemical approach to fight biofilms

8

Chlorine Chlorine Dioxide Hydrogen peroxide-based

Traditional disinfectants do not effectively penetrate the biofilm matrix

Traditional disinfectants

Most disinfectants are active against planktonic (unattached) microorganisms but are not effective against microorganisms in biofilm



Elimination and prevention of biofilm with Aqua-4D®

9

1. The existing biofilm is detached. The structure of the water at the interface of the biofilm is modified.

2. The biofilm will not attach any more thanks to the modification of the interactions forces at the interface.

Elimination Prevention

Mineral scaling

10

Clogged plumbing and regulators Pressure loss Nipple drinkers sticking or leaking Scale has a rough surface that contains

pitting, cracks, and crevices which can harbor microorganisms

Hard water contains a large proportion of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and sometimes iron and manganese.

Over time, water containing these minerals will attach to plumbing and form scale.

What is scaling ? What are the consequences ?

Over time, this is a substantial cost when one considers the time and money of replacement of the water system.



Classical chemical approach to remove scale

11

The pH of the water must be reduced by adding an acid to dissolve the mineral scale

Cleaning process of pipes with acids between flocks



Aqua-4D® physical water treatment

12

Minerals are kept dissolved or suspended in water

No more deposit inside the piping system Chemical-free Maintenance-free

The ecological watersoftener



Benefits in the use of medicines

13

Dissolution of the medicine (Aviapen 0.5 g/l) with tap water not treated

Comparison with the dissolution of medicine with Aqua-4D® treated tap water

Diagnostic with a microscope Analysis of the shape and the distribution

of the minerals of dried drop of water samples

Medicine dissolution test



Results of the test «Dissolution Aviapen»

14

Regular fringe, regular fine distribution, tendency to coagulate massively reduced

Irregular border, irregular coarse distribution, tendency to coagulate

Untreated Treated with Aqua-4D®



Aqua-4D® water treatment system

15

The Aqua-4D® technology works with any water chemistry and degree of hardness.

Effects are obtained with all pipe materials such as steel, copper, plastic …

The efficiency is observed over several kilometers of pipe from a single installation.

A pre-programmed Command module to generate the signals.

Special Tubes to transmit the signals to the aquatic environment. Depending on the maximum flow rate, a specific number of parallel Tubes is required.

Two basic modules: An almost unlimited use ....



Line of products: Modular

16

Flow rates from 0 to 240 L/min Chemical-free Maintenance-free Very low power consumption (8 to 40W) Eco-friendly

Serie 30E and 60E
