WCI is making “WAVES” in the water treatment market with the implementation of the Clearwater Dolphin technology. Given past attempts by other technologies and devices, the company has been very guarded in their association with alternative methods as it relates to water treatment. After three years of local installation and performance data - the alternative to chemically dosing your condenser water and steam boiler systems with reliability has been validated on the local level.

WCI started with a few beta sites and over the past three years added several critical installations in the healthcare market. Results have been extremely favorable and offer end users the ability to remove chemicals from site, operate a steady state system, and reduced costs. Following is a brief description of the
system:

   Operating Principle. The Dolphin produces a pulsed, time-varying, induced field inside a PVC pipe that is fit conveniently into the cooling tower’s recirculating water system. The electric signal changes the way minerals in the water precipitate, totally avoiding hard lime scale by instead producing a non-sticking mineral powder in the bulk solution. This powder is readily filterable and mostly removed during normal blowdown, or it settles loosely in the cooling tower basin for easy annual removal. Bacteria are incorporated into this mineral powder and therefore leave the system by blowdown, filtration, or settling. The encapsulated bacteria cannot reproduce, thus resulting in an exceedingly low bacteria population. Water softening is not necessary with Dolphin treatment, and high cycles of concentration are usually obtainable, leading to significant water conservation.
