All about eco-friendly EarthCare(TM)

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Earthwise Environmental offers a new eco-friendly EarthCare(TM) water treatment product line designed for cooling water system, HVAC and industrial treatment applications. It’s designed to reduce water usage associated with traditional treatment products, provide significant energy savings and reduce the handling, shipping and storage of 55-gallon drums. They have two featured products: GreenFrost(TM) 100 and GreatTreat(TM) 900. Let’s take a look at what these two products are.

Bio-renewable GreenFrost100 is a non-toxic, corn-derived anti-freeze replacement for ethylene- or propylene glycol-charged water treatment systems. It carries the same freeze protection properties as traditional ethylene/propylene glycols, but is safer to use, less toxic to humans and the environment and makes America less dependant on foreign oil sources. GreenFrost contains bio-renewable, organic corrosion inhibitors for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Unlike many glycol-based products, ortho- and poly-phosphate-free GreenFrost prevents fouling and development of corrosive microorganisms in closed systems, protecting heat transfer efficiencies. GreenFrost is classified by the FDA as a multi-purpose Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) food additive when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices.

Earthwise Environmental’s EarthCare GreenTreat 900 is a concentrated cooling tower liquid scale and corrosion inhibitor designed for increased cycles of concentration and water savings in stressed water applications. Organic-based GreenTreat 900 corrosion control compounds include organic Azole compound to control yellow metal, polymeric dispersants to retard scaling and crystal modification compounds to control calcium carbonate scaling.

There are several reasons why EarthCare is a good choice for water treatment. Here are a few mentioned on their web site:

EarthCare products can help buildings and facilities “Go Green.” The EarthCare line is designed to reduce water and energy consumption utilizes Green, bio-renewable technology and is a LEED point booster.

EarthCare products can help federal buildings meet the president’s executive orders for efficient energy management and waste prevention.

EarthCare products are free of poly- and ortho-phosphates to prevent fouling and development of corrosive bacteria and algae growth in closed systems and discharge and protect heat transfer efficiencies.
