Without data, you're just another person with an opinion.

DOE / NETL Research
An example of the success of THERMOPHASE™ includes data presented in conjunction with the Department of Energy (DOE) / National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). This data was gathered in research of THERMOPHASE™ being applied to membrane filters, specifically. The analysis is directly from plant historical (DCS) and includes five years of operation prior to THERMOPHASE™, and two years of operation with THERMOPHASE™.
Note: does not include SOx and lime reductions, NOx and Ammonia reductions, Hg and ACI reductions, less ash produced, less chemistry for water used, and water discharged

The graphs on the left represent various measurements taken over a five year window of the experiment. The numerical benefits of THERMOPHASE™ described above area clearly shown. The product also showed to reduce cooling tower fill fouling during the application. There is a Department of Energy link to the report for this application on the OSTI website. EPRI validated THERMOPHASE™'s heat transfer success that we have seen in heat exchangers, chillers and condensers on industrial and utility installations including the 770MW DOE/NETL funded multi-year test data. Other benefits from THERMOPHASE™ we have seen such as fouling prevention (significant data from other tests) and cooling tower fouling prevention (as seen at 770MW unit) were not a part of the EPRI testing, but it was stated they could not get the tubes to foul with THERMOPHASE™ in the EPRI testing.
HYDROPHASE™ - Membrane Filters
Our new HYDROPHASE™ product, developed with work done for the Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation, revealed that on membrane filters (Dupont Filmtec Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filters), application of HYDROPHASE™ reduces fouling, reduces differential pressure, and allows increased production and flow thruput versus untreated membranes. Results show that HYDROPHASE™ can potentially extend the life of a membrane filter by two and a half times that of an untreated filter.
Local Hospital Research
Another impressive example comes from a local hospital, where the borescope shows major fouling in twelve months without THERMOPHASE™, and then with THERMOPHASE™, really none for two years!
