HEALTH   and   SAFETY 

Magnetic Technology Australia (MTA) is a "health and safety" conscious company.  Our magnetic fluid conditioner (MFC) products are designed with the objective of minimising or eliminating exposure to heath and safety issues.

All potential health and safety issues with Scale-X MFCs have been addressed by MTA and reduced to nil or are negligible.  They are as follows:
(1)  exposure to static magnetic fields
(2)  physical handling of the MFCs
(3)  on site ease of installation of the MFCs
(4)  exposure to dangerous or harmful substances or chemicals - nil.

Exposure to Static Magnetic Fields   (Note that 10000gauss = 1Tesla)
Maximum exposure to static magnetic fields from Scale-X MFCs under the most adverse conditions is less than 7% of the levels recommended by the International Commission on Non-ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines.

These (ICNIRP) guidelines are as follows with the MTA Scale-X MFC exposure levels shown in blue:
(a)  the whole-body continuous occupational exposure to a time weighted average magnetic flux
density should not exceed 200 mT.   For a Scale-X MFC this exposure level is less than 1mT.  
(b)  the maximum whole body exposure should not exceed 2T.  For a Scale-X MFC this exposure level is less than 0.01T.
(C)  when restricted to the limbs, the exposure should not exceed 5T.  For a Scale-X MFC this exposure level is less than 0.32T

Note:  The magnetic materials used in Scale-X MFCs are also used in medical equipment.

Physical Handling of the MFCs
The Scale-X MFCs are designed such that they can be installed using the standard conventional equipment and procedures for lifting and locating the MFCs.

On Site Ease of Installation of the MFCs
MTA Scale-X MFCs are designed such that installation and/or retrofit is simple and requires no onsite hot works on the MFCs.  The MFCs simply bolt in or bolt onto the customers plant.  No special equipment is required for installation.

No Exposure to Dangerous or Harmful Substances or Chemicals
Scale-X Magnetic Fluid Conditioners are environmentally safe and friendly.  There are no electrical connections and no chemicals or harmful substances are used.  Scale-X MFCs are a chemically free method of controlling and/or eliminating scale and biofilm deposition in water and other fluid systems.
