Water Dynamics International (WDI)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Water Dynamics was originally founded in 1986 by Dean Markland.  The initial product developed for treating water in cooling towers without chemicals was the Cooling Tower Treatment System or CTTS™.

The CTTSÔ unit uses a combination of electromagnetic and ionization chamber technologies in conjunction with a custom built treatment chamber and filter.  As a result of the refinements made over the last eight years WDI has proven to effectively address all four principal problems facing cooling water treatment. The specially built chambers are essential to the CTTSÔ non-chemical water treatment effectiveness.   Because of the unique design of the chamber, suspended and dissolved solids (minerals) are controlled, collected and removed.  The automated backwash feature of the chamber ensures long filter media life, and consistent removal of undesirables.  The Magnetic Energizer (TMEÔ designed and manufactured by WDI) enhances treatment by imparting electromagnetic energy into the water causing a molecular change in suspended minerals which aids in their removal.  Growth of algae, bacteria, and other biological fouling is impeded by metallic ionization (electrodes of copper and silver) which dispense trace amounts of free metal ions that destroy the cell structures of organisms through the use of the “Q’catÔ” ionization chambers.

The CTTS™ provides the following benefits:

  1. Eliminates the cost of chemical water treatment requirements.
  2. Automates tower maintenance and treatment.
  3. Eliminates scale & corrosion without chemicals.
  4. Removes suspended solids.
  5. Prevents microbiological fouling and prevents indoor air quality problems such as legionella.
  6. Reduce tower water consumption and sewer discharge by 50-80%.
  7. Reduce energy consumption by 10%.
  8. 100% chiller design efficiency.
  9. Reduced tower maintenance requirements and equipment damage caused by acid washes.
  10. Discharge water is chemical free to be used for landscaping.

Large cooling towers dump millions of gallons of water annually because of chemical treatment.  The CTTS™ will typically conserve 15-18 million gallons of water per 1000 tons cooling operating 24/7.  An example is a large casino in Las Vegas where a CTTS™ unit installed on a 3,000-ton tower has reduced water usage by 40,000,000 gallons per year.  That saving is the equivalent of a convoy of 5,000-gallon water tankers line up bumper to bumper for 122 miles! 

Furthermore, utility power plants are the largest market for CTTS™.  The cooling towers are generally 10,000 tons to 300,000 tons.  The water savings in gallons are unimaginable.  However, The US Geological Survey issued early in 2004 on annual national water usage estimated that utilities consume 48% of all the water used in the United States .  The CTTS™ can reduce this by 40-60% but these systems will be very expensive due their size.  Chemicals are currently used and to demonstrate the chemical savings, a single power plant in Las Vegas spends $10 million per year on chemicals.

Currently there are draught conditions in the Southwest and in many other areas of the United States and the world.  Water availability and purity and the need for water conservation are the highest environmental priority in the world.  WDI and its products offer the most significant solution for this crisis.

 The petroleum applications for WDI’s electro-magnetic technology (Oil Field Treatment Equipment or OFTE™) offers a solution to one of the EPA’s largest pollution problems – 2 billion gallons per day of oil contaminated water in thousands of oil wells.   WDI conducted a field test in 1998 that demonstrated the success of this application.  This water must now either be hauled and disposed of or pumped into lagoons of toxic water at a cost of ~$12/barrel.  OFTE™ can reduce this cost by 50-75% by treating the water and removing the hydrocarbons and producing irrigation quality water.  There is immense interest in this application.  This application for sales, lease, and service potential for this market worldwide is billions of dollars.  The applications are both domestic in TX, UT, OK, CO, MT, AK, CA, LA, and PA plus international opportunities in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Nigeria, China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and virtually every oil producing nation on earth.

The Salt Water Treatment Equipment™ ("SWTE™") is a derivative of the “OFTETM”.  This equipment is designed to convert salt and/or brackish water to irrigation and/or drinking water.  The proposed SWTETM could be used to treat water for farms across the world that have depleted their water resources or have pumped their wells until they now have brackish water, especially along the California coast.  The Bakersfield , California area has hundreds of millions of gallons of brackish water just below the surface and all the irrigation water has to be brought in by canals at great expense.  With this equipment that water could provide fresh water for millions of acres of farm land for the price of running pumps. There are many areas in the U.S. alone that could farm or raise their families by converting available brackish or alkaline water.   WDI’s equipment can change this economically so everyone can afford water.  Rather than build the large desalination plants WDI would propose building and offering a service of hundreds of smaller projects.

This plan calls for the design, fabrication, and testing of three large prototype systems of each technology.  Each Beta site must maintained in complete security until all patent applications have been resolved.  After the Beta tests have been completed the commercial systems will be produced in a 100,000 square foot facility including laboratories and satellite communication capabilities designed exclusively for WDI.  The plant will contain HVAC equipment to allow both testing and customer demonstrations of current and future products.

The WDI business model for the application of these technologies requires that systems be installed on a service contract basis rather than selling capital equipment.  While this approach requires more operational funding than selling capital equipment the long-term profitability is much higher.  In addition, WDI controls installation and the operational quality with online remote monitoring of conditions.

WDI will require total funding of $100 million ($100MM) in years one and two to launch and implement these technologies in North America .  WDI will request an additional $100MM to continue projects worldwide.  The positive impact on environmental quality and water availability will be impacted immensely.

Budgetary Requirement for Year One = $50,000,000

Budgetary Requirement for Year Two = $50,000,000

Total Funding Requirement for Years One and Two for WDI  = $100,000,000

Based on the Successful Implementation of the Above Projects WDI will Request an Additional $100,000,000 to Continue the Application of WDI Systems Worldwide.
