Evolu-Tech Lte
1. THE FIRM
Evolu-Tech Ltd. was incorporated under the Canada Business
Corporations Act on September 11, 1981.
2. THE MISSION
Evolu-Tech's mission consists in offering environment-friendly,
economical, energy-saving water treatment.
3. CONTEXT SETTING
For years now, POLLUTION has been deplorably battering our
environment. Our Mag-O-Pure treatment method has helped to deal
with this ever-intensifying assault on our environment.
All water treatment boils down to a set of processes acting upon
water's components following analysis of its physical-chemical
elements. A given treatment's validity and acceptability should
come in proportion with the efficiency limits and operational
costs of products and/or equipment used therein. Considering
these facts, we think that the patented Mag-O-Pure treatment
offers an economic ratio surpassing any other method's based on
obvious advantages:
a) eliminates all need for water softeners, its maintenance
and salts sent to sewers (economy and environment protection);
b) reduces chemical treatment costs by 90 to 99% (economy
and environment protection);
c) decreases steam boiler blowdown requirements by 90 to
100% (economy and econergy);
d) reduces and/or controls scale deposits (economy and
econergy);
e) maintains production capacity and/or eliminates down time
in water-cooled machinery such as plastic extruders, whose dies
require periodic acid cleaning (economy and environment
protection);
f) maintains and/or increases cooling system efficiency by
preventing fouling and dirt accumulation in condensers (economy
and econergy);
Since the fourties, magnetic water treatment has periodically
aroused interest and stirred up curiosity in the industrial and
scientific communities.
Studies conducted by American scientists on magnetic water
treatment have led to contradictory conclusions. Conflicting
results from empirical tests or fundamental-type studies have
thus combined to generate a state of ambiguity over magnetic
water treatment.
Whether through lack of knowledge on the part of the public or
whether due to privatization of information on the subject, an
exclusive use of chemicals in fighting lime scale deposits
generated by hard water seems to have developed and to be deeply
installed in our society's mind. This general trend is
worrisome by its very nature. In any case, some people's
ignorance and others' suspicious and/or opportunistic
recklessness end up being detrimental to everyone.
4. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
From 1981 to 1991, we focused our research and development on a
magnetic water treatment for commercial and industrial
applications.
The potential market was enormous, and we had to overcome
widespread skepticism toward magnetic water treatment, which too
many considered 'an illusion', 'magic', 'a black box', or 'a
gadget'.
4.1 INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH AID PROGRAM (IRAP)
To clarify this point, we requested an IRAP in November, 1987,
and mandated Dr. Carmen Jolicoeur, Professor at Sherbrooke
University, to examine and highlight all possible effects of
magnetic fields on lime scale formation.
The study conducted by Sherbrooke University allowed us to
confirm that in some cases, magnetic fields produced an effect
on particle's morphology. Even though conflicting results were
observed, they revealed facts of an obvious interest, as they
suggested applicability conditions.
In the end, this study motivated us to review and overhaul the
magnetic catalyzer's design regarding water flow's relative
geometry with respect to magnetic field angles. The blowdown
frequency had to be eliminated or reduced, and a filtration and
circulation system was integrated; we had patentable solutions
at hand.
4.2 PATENTS
The field results obtained confirmed our theories; we had thus
discovered the application method for magnetic water treatment.
So we applied for a Canadian patent on June 18, 1990 and an US
patent on June 11, 1991.
US patent was issued on September 22, 1992, and
Canadian patent on November 22, 1996.
It is important to note here that our patents concern water
magnetization method.
4.3 INDUSTRIAL QUALIFICATION
Acceptance of our patented method was not yet secured,
especially concerning pressurized steam boilers applications.
This led us to apply for a second IRAP for a Mag-O-Pure system's
performance evaluation on a steam boiler.
The study conducted by the Centre de Recherche Industrielle du
Qubec (CRIQ) clearly points out the Mag-O-Pure system's
capacity to control boiler scale deposits even with a hardness
exceeding 1,000 mg/l. This study's results established a
performance credibility for our ecologically harmless
treatment. These can be verified by consulting the CRIQ's
Report N RDQ-92-693(R1).
Mag-O-Pure systems were implemented on the Montreal Harbor
locomotive maintenance shop's steam boilers in 1987, and are
still operating efficiently to this date. Sales have been
concluded with prestigious clients such as Bell Canada, The
Canadian Coast Guard and the National Research Council of Canada.
We have overcome all manufacturing, filtration and circulation
obstacles, and our product is now finely tuned since 1992.
Member of the Quebec Energy Managers' Association (QEMA),
Evolu-Tech has presented the Mag-O-Pure project at Joliette
COLLEGE as part of the 1995 ENERGIA GALA, and ended up being a
finalist in the Environment and Product Supplier categories.
