If your looking to become an environmentally friendly steward or if your building is going for LEED applications or ISO 14000, eH2O water treatment is the ideal choice for obtaining these goals. Our environmentally friendly water treatment eliminates all chemicals normally used for water treatment.
The photos to the right are typical chemical water treatment systems along with some photos showing how important it is to not pollute our water. Our water is a precious resource that we need to protect for ourselves and our future generations to come.
A small 100 ton cooling tower would typically release into the environment under 200 pounds of chlorine and nearly 70,000 gallons of discharge water containing 2-ppm zinc, 20-ppm polyphosphate, and 3-ppm triazole. Along with these chemicals; pesticides and herbicides, heavy metals such as moybdates, and acids, are also typically added to cooling tower water treatments. Consider how much pollution is being done with all of the cooling towers throughout the nation. This adds up to millions of gallons of chemical pollution annually.
Not only do the chemicals go into the water but they also are released into the atmosphere through cooling tower fans. Harvard University has documented that chlorine use destroys the ozone layer. Many chemical water treatment companies will do a biocidal shock with their pesticides and herbicides in the evening so there is a lessor risk of having a citizen near the tower while this is being done. We also have systems for recycled water or reuse water. Savings with using this water are usually around 40% cheaper than the regular municipal water supply. Incredibly, we have documented that our water treatment provides a better quality than the incoming drinking water, so it is easy for us to treat this type of water. |
