Effectively Solve Acid Condensate Corrosion Problems: ZONE's Condensate Neutralizer Media Safeguards Your Water System

> In water purification technology, though often overlooked, neutralizer filter media plays a vital role in protecting the health and safety of pipeline systems.

Did you know that condensate water generated during the operation of equipment such as gas boilers, air conditioners, and water heaters is typically acidic, with a pH value as low as 3-4?

If this acidic condensate is discharged directly, it can corrode pipelines and equipment, and even have adverse environmental impacts. ZONE's Condensate Neutralizer Media, made from natural inorganic mineral materials, effectively neutralizes acidic condensate, protecting your equipment investment.

Understanding Acidic Condensate and Its Challenges

Gas boilers, air conditioners, and water heaters generate condensate during operation. This condensate is usually acidic, with a pH between 3 and 4. If not properly treated, it can cause significant corrosion to pumps, drainage pipes, and sewer systems, leading to equipment damage, increased maintenance costs, and potential environmental regulation violations.

The Science Behind Water Filter Media and Neutralization Technology

Water filter media are essential components in water treatment processes, including activated carbon, ion-exchange resins, and ceramic balls. Among these, neutralizer media specialize in regulating water's acidity or alkalinity. They work by chemically reacting with acidic or alkaline substances, bringing water pH to a safe range (typically 6-9). Ideal neutralizer media should be efficient, long-lasting, free from harmful substances, and environmentally safe.

Introducing ZONE’s Condensate Neutralizer Media

ZONE's Condensate Neutralizer Media is crafted from natural inorganic mineral materials through advanced scientific formulation and special processes. It effectively raises the pH of acidic condensate from 3–4 to the safe range of 6–9, preventing damage to drainage systems and equipment.

Key Technical Principles and Advantages

This media is composed of a compound of magnesium-based and calcium-based natural minerals, fired at high temperatures. Upon contact with acidic water, it gradually releases alkaline substances to neutralize acidity. The product is resistant to acid, alkali, high and low temperatures, ensuring stable performance across various conditions.

Notable physical properties include:

- Density: 1.35–1.5 g/cm³

- Porosity: 20%

- Adsorption rate: up to 90%

These traits ensure highly efficient and consistent neutralization.

Applications Across Industries

ZONE’s media is suitable for:

- Condensate treatment in gas boilers, AC units, and water heaters

- Industrial wastewater treatment in mining, electroplating, and similar sectors

- Acidic water treatment in flue gas processing, hydrometallurgy, and electrolytic plating

- Use in air preheaters, demisters, and other auxiliary equipment

Simple Installation and Maintenance

Using the media is straightforward: fill the neutralizer or filter with the media, and acidic water is treated as it passes through. For maintenance, regularly monitor the outlet water’s pH using test strips or a meter. Replace the media when pH falls below required levels or after approximately six months of use.
