Soil Ion Enhancers from Baron Minerals
OVERVIEW
Backfill Compound(s)
A Proper Electrical Earthing System is essential for safety against fault current and uninterrupted quality supply of electrical power to the electrical system. In some case, local soil conditions make it difficult to achieve the target earth resistance and soil enhancing can be done to revamp the soil conditions.
It has been known that earthing can be improved by lowering the soil resistivity, either by applying soil treatment or by adding salt to the soil. Though salt reduces the soil resistivity, it is prone to leach out from treated soil when water is added to it during the rainy season & thus it is only a temporary improvement. Moreover, it pollutes the groundwater & causes other environmental problems accelerating the corrosion of the electrode.
To overcome these negative qualities, Soil Ion Enhancers from Baron Minerals Private Limited is specially formulated to help create a low resistance earth interface, making it easier and less expensive to meet the earthing requirements.
Soil enhancing is the process of replacing a portion of the local soil with a more conductive soil, or the replacement of poor (high resistance) soil in the critical areas around earth electrode.
ELECTRODITE
It is a regular Back Fill Compound® that absorbs & retains the moisture, reduces the soil resistivity & thus helps in quick dissipation of fault current. Constituting natural elements, it is an effective soldier in the dissipation of fault current. It is hygroscopic in nature & swells when it comes in contact with water, thereby engaging constant contact between the electrode surface & soil which ensures smooth and efficient discharge of fault current.
- Best for normal soil conditions.
- Resistivity : < 5 ohm-metre (In ideal moist conditions) ; > 5 ohm-metre (Dry Conditions).
- Available in : 15 Kg & 25 Kg
CONDUCTOLITE
It is a premium conductive carbonaceous material that can be used as an effective durable & high conductive material for earthing that dramatically reduces impedance & enhances the performance, reliability *longevity of earthing systems. Conductolite has been designed to function in soil environments where electrical conductivity is low. It helps to improve the conductivity of the soil to aid in faster current dissipation while at the same time having hygroscopic and anticorrosive properties.
- Recommended for harsh Conditions.
- Resistivity : < 0.5 ohm-metre (In dry conditions) Resistivity is not moisture dependant.
- Available in : 25 Kg
ZETALITE
Zetalite is a combination of soil materials that optimize the conductivity of the soil around the earth electrode. Increasing the amount of Zetalite can decrease the overall earth electrode resistance.
- Zetalite has a resistivity of about 0.5 ohm-meters
- Highly conductive and can hold a high level of moisture and minerals without shrinkage and cracks
- Has High Water Retention Capacity and High Thickening & Conductive properties
- pH Value - 8.0 - 10.0
- Available Range - 15 Kg
TERRAION
The formula Terraion BFC Enhancer has been designed keeping the harsh conditions in mind, encountered by earthing systems around the world. Terraion is a soil ionizing material that contains electrolyte with a neutralizing charger and diffusing substance for neutralizing soil particles. It forms a bulk aqueous solution on addition of water and creates conductive roots in the immediate environment of the earthing system improving the conductivity of soils that influence electrode resistance
- Terraion is based on the 2nd technique ionization of the soil to reduce soil resistivity
- Recommended for Earth Pit recharging
- pH value: 7.0 – 9.0
- Available Range - 10 Kg
HUMEDITE
Moisture plays a very important role in the earthing system because the dissipation of fault current depends considerably on the capillary & electro-osmotic action of the soil. Specifically developed for relatively dry conditions, it captures moisture from the surrounding environment & retains it for a long time. It has an electrical resistivity of approximately 0.5 ohm-meter which gives minimal resistance to the dissipation of current. When mixed with water it forms a semi-permeable conductive gel around the electrode & is far less susceptible to shrinkage.
- Recommended for semi-rocky conditions
- Resistivity: 1 - 5 ohm-meter (In ideal moist conditions).
- Available in : 25 Kg
