A BETTER WAY VORTEX PROCESS TECHNOLOGY (VPT) IS BEING USED TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE TO WATER, AGRICULTURE, AQUACULTURE, INDUSTRY —
​EVEN ICE. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS..

Cooling Towers
Using VPT technology, our cooling tower skid is proven to save energy, chemicals and, most importantly, water.
Tiny Bubbles
​At the heart of our 3-D printed vortex applications are micro air bubbles. What changes is how we deal with them.
Waterways
​Our technology is used to keep rivers, streams and waterways clean. 
​
Ponds
​Using VPT technology to aerate ponds diminishes algae growth — and its residual stench.
Waste Water
​FlowMix is a wastewater treatment application based on Vortex Process Technology.
Energy Efficiencies
​Using unheated water for ice maintenance and resurfacing is increasing ice plants’ efficiencies.

Cooling Towers that waste less.

OUR COOLING TOWER SKIDS, BUILT WITH VORTEX TECHNOLOGY AT THE CORE, ARE REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF WATER, ENERGY AND CHEMICALS NEEDED TO RUN COOLING TOWERS. SOUTHERN EDISON CALIFORNIA RAN A FIELD TEST USING VPT TECHNOLGOY WHICH PROVED THOSE SAVINGS, SAVINGS ESPECIALLY FOR WATER-POOR STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA. THE REPORT POINTS OUT THAT BY INCREASING THE CYCLE OF CONCENTRATION BY JUST 1.5, 350 MILLION GALLONS OF WHAT CAN BE SAVED IN CALFOINRAIA IN JUST THREE YEARS.  READ THE REPORT HERE
Less Water
​
​By increasing the Cycle of Concentration, cooling towers use less water. This is achieved by lowering the viscosity of the water by separating the micro air bubbles from the water, resulting in better heat transfer. With the water itself now more efficient, a water energy nexus is created, increasing the Cycle of Concentration to at least 5 - 10 COC.
Less Energy

​​Lowering the viscosity means the water is more efficient and the cooling tower works less. The site energy savings in the SCE study were meaningful at 3.8% for kWh and 1.9% for on-peak kW demand reduction. 
Less Chemicals
​
​The rapid spinning of the water in the vortex not only separates the micro air bubbles from the water, but it changes the state of the soluble calcium in the water.  No longer effective and unable to cling together and cause lime scale buildup, less chemicals are needed. 
CLEANER WATER.

The vortex technology used in our ponds and waterways applications take those same micro air bubbles from the water and use them to aerate. The FlowMixer system helps waterways recover from runoff damage and prevents algae build up due to stagnant water.

Better Smelling
​
Reducing the Algae growth has another positive attribute: A better smelling environment. 
Faster Recovery from Runoff
 
​With the FlowMixer Application, waterways can recover faster from runoffs and overflows.
Automatic or on Demand 

​The FlowMixer system can be set up to work automatically or on demand. 
A GAME CHANGER. 

The vortex technology used in our ice rink application separates the micro air bubbles from the water, removing the need to heat the water up to extremely high temperatures to resurface the ice. Saving money — and making great ice – that’s REALice. Find out more at the REALice website.

Less Natural Gas

​​Most arenas use natural gas to heat their water. REALice reduces the natural gas use by 79%. One of three ways REALice saves energy. 
Less Electricity
​
​Cooler water on the ice means the ice plant works less, and the water freezes faster. This means the brine temperature — and the ice itself — can increase by a couple of degrees — a real savings in electricity.
 
Less Humidity

​Colder water means less evaporation than before, and less evaporation means less humidity in your arena.
​Another way that REALice saves arenas money. 
IVG-IRRIGATION 

 Treating the water with the IVG, Lets plants use water more efficiently. 

Benefits of IVG-Irrigation
​
  • ​Optimal absorption of water
  • Lower viscosity of the water
  • Reduced need for fertilizers and chemicals
  • Micro air bubbles are removed from the water which lets plants use the water more efficiently.
