Ondeo Nalco Company, a subsidiary of SUEZ, and Flexible Solutions Intl, Inc. have announced a global distribution agreement for Water$avr, a unique commercially viable water evaporation retardant.
This new solution could allow water intensive industries and municipalities to manage water resources in a safe and effective way, while reducing operation costs.
Water$avr will be exclusively supplied and distributed worldwide through Ondeo Nalco for the mining market and some parts of the municipal market, and in other markets with non-exclusive distribution rights.
Water$avr was developed to answer the growing need for water-intensive industries and municipalities to manage water resources effectively while preserving the environment. It combines long-known evaporation control technology with a patent-protected, self-spreading capability that makes it economically viable. According to independent testing carried out worldwide between 2001 and 2002, Water$avr may allow users to reduce water evaporation by up to 40 percent.
The United Nations’ International Environmental Technology Center recently has designated this as an Environmentally Sound Technology. It uses food-grade chemicals and has no negative impact on the oxygen level, temperature or aquatic life in treated sources of water. It may be used to preserve water resources including raw water supplies, reservoirs, canals, lakes, ponds and recreation areas.
The market potential for Water$avr is estimated at $2 billion in North America and up to $8 billion globally.
