Bacteria in water can be treated and managed with EcaFloŽ
anolyte solutions. Waste water from food processing operations
can be treated to help reduce the biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD) levels in discharge waters and, unlike water treated
with hazardous chemicals, can be discharged into public sewer
systems.
Cooling tower water can be treated with low concentrations
of anolyte so that bacteria in the tower is controlled. In
addition, anolyte removes the scale build-up on fill, pans
and in pipes so that a better heat exchange value is maintained
throughout the system. Costs for handling, storing and disposing
of hazardous chemicals used to treat for bacteria and inhibit
scale, is dramatically reduced.
IET has on-going contractual agreements with Coastal Carolina
University in Conway, South Carolina for the provision of
objective scientific research relative to EcaFloŽ solutions.
On July 7, 2004, samples of water were collected from Withers
Swash by Dr. Joseph Bennett, Director of the Environmental
Quality Lab at Coastal Carolina University. Aliquots of the
samples were tested by Dr. Bennett using EcaFloŽ solutions,
generated by equipment manufactured by IET, Inc., to determine
the efficacy of the solutions to kill bacteria. The solutions
were applied to the aliquots and the CFU/100 ml dropped from
2400 to 2. Dr. Bennett stated, “Essentially all of the
fecal coliform bacteria were killed in a short reaction time.”
EcaFloŽ Anolyte solutions may be dosed into bacteria containing
water at very low concentrations and, due to the nascent oxidant
enriched nature of the solutions, bacteria are quickly destroyed.
The solutions then relax to their original state: a weak salt-water
brine. |
