FreshWater Technologies Inc., wholly owned subsidiary of International Development Corp. (OTCBB:IDVL) announces that The Colorado School of Mines is currently conducting an independent scientific evaluation of the scale prevention and reduction capabilities of electrical ceramics water activation technology. The Colorado School of Mines study is intended to document the ability of electrical ceramics water activators to reduce calcium deposits in boiler applications and remove pre-existing scaling in metal piping.
Robert Glassen, President of FreshWater stated, "Field testing in Costa Rica in boiler operations has indicated significant reduction in scale depositing and prevention of further scale encrustations. Although clear, visual evidence of the effectiveness of water activation is already available, the company wants to ensure the scientific validity of the technology before entering the US marketplace. The Colorado School of Mines laboratory scale testing will introduce calcium chloride to promote scaling within steel pipes and scientifically evaluate the ability of chemical free water activation devices to reduce scale formation. Experiments will be conducted with and without water activation units to accurately establish the ability of water activation treatment when compared with no treatment of identical scale conditions in steel piping. The tests conducted by The Colorado School of Mines are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of water activation in both preventing and removing calcium carbonate scale, describe the character and nature of calcium deposits and also measure the surface tension of activated water when compared with untreated water."
Scale deposits present a significant and costly problem in heating systems that increase energy costs, reduce operating efficiency as well as equipment life. FreshWater's water activation units do not use chemicals and thus provide additional cost savings. The company believes that this rigorous testing process should provide reliable documentation that electrical ceramics water activation technology can provide cost effective solutions for water based commercial heating systems.
A final report should be completed within 60 days.
