Abstract
A method and system for utilizing electromagnetic energy to inhibit, prevent, reverse, or alter the formation of rust or scale on various liquid contacting surfaces is disclosed. An electromagnetic signal at a frequency related to the energy absorption/emission characteristics of the liquid being treated are directed into the liquid. The frequency of the treatment signal, preferably between 0.1 KHz and 1000 MHz, may be changed if the absorption/emission profile of the liquid changes during treatment.

An electromagnetic treatment for a liquid contained in a system, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating an electromagnetic signal at a frequency preselected in response to the energy absorption/emission profile of said liquid;
- and
- (b) directing said electromagnetic signal into the liquid contained within the system at a preselected location, through a non-insulated conductor in electrical contact with the liquid.
An electromagnetic treatment system for a liquid comprising:
- means for generating an electromagnetic signal at a frequency preselected in response to the energy absorption/emission profile of said liquid;
- and
- means for operatively connecting said generating means to said liquid by a non-insulated conductor in electrical contact with said liquid.
An electromagnetic treatment method for a liquid contained in a system, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating an electromagnetic signal at a frequency preselected in response to the energy absorption/emission profile of said liquid;
- and
- (b) directing said electromagnetic signal into the liquid contained within the system at a first and second preselected location through a first non-insulated conductor in electrical contact at the first location with the liquid, and through a second non-insulated conductor in electrical contact with the liquid at the second location.
A method for the prevention of scaling in a system containing a liquid, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating an electromagnetic signal at a frequency preselected in response to the energy absorption/emission profile of said liquid;
- (b) directing said electromagnetic signal into the liquid contained within the system at a first and second preselected location through a first non-insulated conductor being in electrical contact at the first location with the liquid, and through a second non-insulated conductor being in electrical contact with the liquid at the second location;
- and
- (c) said preselected frequency is selected from the range of 0.1 kilohertz to 1,000 megahertz.
