Leading the way in water efficiency
Bob Miller of Earthwise Environmental, Inc. was featured on WaterEfficiency.net (Nov. 24, 2008) in an article on his company’s “e-solution”, which is a patent pending cooling technology completely eliminating chemicals and conserving water in treatments. According to Miller, “it uses far less water, reuses it to conserve waste and eliminates chemicals, providing truly economical and healthful applications in all types of public venues.” Most heat transfer technologies require chemicals to reduce corrosion and microbe fouling. Without these standard chemicals, the total cost of repair, labor, energy, health risks, and system downtime would increase. The chemicals, however, don’t come without a toll on the environment. Miller said, “many of the hazardous compounds traditionally used in cooling tower systems eventually end up in the water system, increasing the need for further treatment downstream at the treatment plants.”
Earthwise Environmental’s “e-solution” provides the technology to eliminate plastic chemical drum disposal, chemical treatments and safety issues. It provides equal or better treatments than the chemical equivalent. The after-use water from the “e-solution’ contains no chemical impurities so it can be collected and re-used for irrigation. The technology is centered around anode-cathode reactions under a supplied current. Mineral is precipitated and flushed from the system to measure and control corrosion. Microbes are adhered to precipitated calcium to lower bacteria counts. Earthwise Environmental installs minor piping and has a small operating footprint, using an easily movable skid mount platform. They continue their service of monitoring testing and producing results in addition to twenty-four/seven remote monitoring to ensure performance. The “e-solution” provides Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Points for facilities and The Earthwise team has five Certified Water Technologies (CWTs) - more than any other water treatment company in Illinois.
