MTA  COMPANY  PROFILE 

Magnetic Technology Australia (MTA) developes/designs, manufactures and markets the Scale-X^® Magnetic Fluid Conditioners (MFC's) which are based on the Scale-X fluid conditioning technology.

MTA was established in 1987 to market an existing international proprietary magnetic fluid treatment systems for the control and/or elimination of scale and biofilm in pipes and vessels of industrial and commercial water process systems.

It quickly became apparent that the magnetic fluid treatment equipment commonly available in the market place lacked in its descaling performance for severe scaling conditions and also the ability to withstand installation in harsh environmental conditions thus greatly limiting the variety of its applications and uses.

From 1988, MTA expanded into product research, development and manufacture.  Firstly, through careful research into severe scaling problems (conducted in major industrial applications and the laboratory) on both inorganic and organic scale, the various factors that determine the performance of this technology were established.  Secondly, by using advanced scientific technology and by using modern developed materials, MTA was able to develop and manufacture a new concept descaling product whose performance was three times that of the existing products. Thirdly, the product range was expanded allowing the application of magnetic fluid treatment technology to be applied in new commercial and industrial applications.  This also allowed much more effective treatment of building air-conditioning systems which had limited application with existing proprietary products.

The most common application of this technology is in eliminating calcite, gypsum and dolomite scale in water systems, that is, calcium and magnesium mineral salts build up in pipes and vessels.  As a result of MTA’s product development, it successfully expanded into treating the more severe scaling problems existing in steel pre-treatment systems and milk process systems.  The range of scales treated was thus expanded to include organic as well as inorganic compounds.

 

In 1998 and again in 2005, as a result of requests from the oil and gas production (O&GP) industry, MTA conducted research into oil and gas production systems, in particular, "top side" offshore oil platform production systems.  Successful laboratory tests simulating severe scaling problems occurring on offshore platforms in the South China Sea and Mumbai India were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. 

This resulted in revolutionary new products being developed for application on offshore platforms. These units are highly flexible in retrofit, incur low capital cost and zero operating costs and are maintenance free.  MTA now has installations which have eliminated the most severe scaling problems experienced on offshore platforms. These new products are suitable for application in all heavy industry including the mineral refining industries.

In 2013 MTA undertook further development of Scale-X MFCs for various applications in large building air-conditioning systems for a Malaysian company.  This has increased the variety and flexibility of air-conditioning applications to which this technology can be applied.

Magnetic Technology Australia (MTA) is a "health and safety" conscious company.  Health and safety issues have been reduced to either nil or negligible.

MTA has established strategic alliances, relationships and agreements, with:

(1) other equipment designers, manufacturers and installers for large scale air-conditioning systems, the oil and gas industry, the mining and mineral refining and the food industries and 

(2) with a process engineering company with wide experience in a range of process industries including process chemical engineering, environmental engineering and water and liquid waste management for physio-chemical and biological treatment processes.
