Earthwise Environmental was recently profiled in The Business Ledger, July 22, 2010. Staff writer Elizabeth Koss writes “…long before going green became a cultural phenomenon, Bensenville-based Earthwise Environmental, Inc. was working to provide environmentally sound water management options for the preservation and conservation of our most coveted resource.”

Robert Miller, Earthwise founder and CEO is quoted, “What we’re finally seeing is people are willing to look at alternative methods, greener methods, to provide the same water disinfection, scale control and corrosion control.”

When Earthwise was founded in 1995, the company’s clientèle were not motivated to be environmentally friendly. Initially, Earthwise focused on selling chemical treatments. In the past four years, since green’s become on the tip of every business-owner’s tongue, Earthwise has switched their focus to water conservation, water reuse technology and chemically minimized programs.

Miller said, “People come to us and we may show them four different technologies to accomplish the water treatment at their facility based on the water quality of their plant, the goals that they have for water conservation or reuse, their likes or dislikes for handling certain types of chemistries and, of course, their budget.”

The article continues detailing Earthwise’s eSolutions, a patent-pending cooling technology; and Phoenix Sky Harbor, the location of a recent pilot program launched April 2010 involving an ion exchange water system.

This question was proposed by The Chief Engineer on April 2nd (see article). At initial consideration, it might not seem like a big deal, but the answer will not only affect the facility or business being questioned, but also the local environment and community - for years and years. Now take into consideration every other facility being asked the same question and expected to answer for their costs. To put this into new perspective, the world will need to invest one trillion dollars annually in conservation technologies to meet demand over the next twenty years.Recently,  several northeaster Illinois counties have considered aggressive conservation initiatives to ensure adequate water supply over the above time period and beyond. According to Inc. magazine in 2008, water managers in  36 states predict significant supply shortfalls in the decade ahead, reason being for aging infrastructures, inadequate treatment facilities and contamination issues.So how do facility mangers find the tools to gauge the impact of water use on environmental and operational costs? One solution might be Earthwise Environmental’s online cost calculator.Know how your facility can conserve water and energy, cut costs and create a safer environment. Calculations show before and after totals with the implementation of eSolutions, which eliminates hazardous chemical treatments, minimizes water use and reuses water to conserve waste. This application provides facilities with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points in water conservation and innovative technology categories.Read more about eSolutions on Earthwise Environmental’s web site, here.
