Help
Reduce Risk & Liability Concerns |
Using
EnduroSolv® products can help you REDUCE
RISK & LIABILITY ISSUES in many ways: |

- No heavy drums to move. This substantially reduces the
potential for injury to your employees and others in your
care. A 55-gallon drum weighs over 500 pounds. Moving these
heavy drums can result in Back Injury, Toe Injury, or Finger
Injury; any of which can lead to costly
Workman's Compensation Claims.
- Eliminate Spill potentials. With liquid chemicals, spills
can occur anywhere - in transit to your facility, or at
your facility. Many chemicals can be hazardous to human
health, damaging to the environment, and a potential for
extensive and expensive litigation. These risks
can be eliminated with your use of EnduroSolv® products.
- No pails of chemicals to move. This reduces the risk
of injury and exposure of hazardous chemicals (including
corrosives, oxidizers, and pesticides) to your employees
and customers.
- No drum disposal issues. When your chemical drum arrives
at your facility, it has two names on it: 1) the supplier;
and 2) YOURS. These same names are on the drum when it leaves
your facility. Are you sure it was empty? Are you sure it
was properly triple rinsed? With EnduroSolv®, not only is
the product dissolved 100%, even the product jar is recyclable.
Sure beats the risk of being
a part of a Super-fund suit.
- No On-site Storage issues. Not only are liquid chemicals
bulky, they must also be stored in containment areas according
to their hazardous classification. Many facilities do not
have this kind of "extra" space, and resort to storing all
chemicals in one containment area. The potential for chemical
reactions of two different liquids can produce very undesirable
results.
- One case of EnduroSolv® product contains the same amount
of active chemicals as a 55-gallon drum. Five cases of an
EnduroSolv® product can sit in the same storage footprint
as that 55- gallon drum. The EnduroSolv® product has no
potential to leak.

Reduce
Economic Concerns |
Economic
Benefits of having a well run treatment program include the
following: |
- No energy absorbing scale deposits - saving you $$
- Extended equipment life through better corrosion control
- saving you $$
- No costly microbiological deposits and fouling - saving
you $$
- Maximum energy Efficiency, - saving you $$
- Reduced potential for harmful microbiological growths such
as Legionella pneumophila, more commonly referred to as Legionnaire
Disease.

EnduroSolv®
uses state of the art proven chemicals, manufactured into a
SOLID concentrate, transported in a low carbon footprint profile,
and applied easily at your site with our patented dissolving
system. You receive all of the benefits of a well run chemical
program, without the hassles of dealing with liquids
- Because EnduroSolv® products are shipped without liquids,
freight costs are substantially reduced. The cost of transporting
solids is approximately 1-2% of the chemical costs, versus
15-20% of the chemical costs for liquids - saving you $$.
(Approximately 15-20% of your chemical budget is used to ship
mostly water when using liquids).
- In addition to the substantially higher costs of transportation
of liquids, there is also a "hidden cost" for using drums.
One study put a time, then a dollar value to this hidden cost,
and calculated an additional cost of over $140 for each drum.
- In some cases, cost avoidance can be a major area of savings.
Because solids are reconstituted on site, the strength of
the solution is substantially below the threshold value where
eyewash and showers are required. One university saved over
$500,000 by not having to make these installations.
- Using EnduroSolv® products can help you save Energy Dollar$.
Scale and deposit control is critical with today's high cost
of energy. Two examples are below
Boiler Example
A 200 horsepower boiler, operating at 100 psig, 24 hours per
day, 365 days per year, and burning natural gas costing $7.00/1,000
cu. ft. will have a fuel budget of $581,774 for annual operation.
An "eggshell" (generally defined as 1/32) deposit, will cost
an additional $23,271-$69,813 depending on the content of the
deposit. If you are experiencing deposits, you need to talk
to an EnduroSolv® dealer today.
Chiller Example
A 500-Ton chiller, operating 12 hours per day, 240 days per
year, with an electric cost of $0.08/kilowatt hour will have
an energy budget of $86,400 per year. 1/64" of deposit will
cost and additional $12,960 - $21,600 per year in wasted energy.
Microbio films can easily double the cost of these figures.
(In addition, we have not included the cost of demand charges,
which are real, but can vary greatly by customer. To fully quantify
the wasted energy dollars, your actual costs need to be included
in the calculations).
- Using EnduroSolv® products can help you minimize corrosion
and extend equipment life, saving you operational and capital
dollar$. Reducing "General Etch" corrosion from a generally
considered excellent rate of 5 mpy (mills per year; 1 mill
per year = 1/1000"), to less than 2.5 mpy will double the
life of your equipment. In addition to saving capital dollars,
the metal that corrodes will become part of the deposit, and
operational costs will reflect the higher costs shown in the
examples above.
- EnduroSolv® products can help you save water, sewer, and
chemical dollar$ by reusing the water, its maximum number
of times. One study concluded that increasing the number of
times water can be reused in a cooling tower from 4 to 6 cycles,
would have the effect of reducing water make-up demand by
over 408,000,000 gallons annually in just the Commercial and
Institutional markets. Most EnduroSolv® cooling water scale
inhibitors are capable of meeting the needs for these savings.
A certified EnduroSolv® dealer can help you quantify the savings
potential at your facility.

Reduce
Your Carbon Footprint |
EnduroSolv® can help you Reduce
the Carbon Footprint of your Facility |
- Liquids, in addition to being bulky, are very heavy and
consume a great deal of energy to transport.
- Most liquid products require a pH adjustment to remain in
solution. These adjustments generally are made by adding caustic
to the mixture. Caustic (NaOH) is a hazardous, corrosive chemical.
In cooling tower applications alone, within the Commercial
and Institutional marketplace, over 38,000,000 pounds of caustic
is added to liquids to accomplish this. EnduroSolv® products
do not require the addition of caustic, and shipment of this
hazardous chemical is eliminated. The effect of this elimination
would be the equivalent carbon footprint of removing 52,000
automobiles each year from our roadways.
- A 55 Gallon drum, weighing 500 pounds, will consume 2.5
more gallons of diesel fuel per typical shipment than a 50
pound carton of EnduroSolv® having the same amount of active
ingredients.
- Liquids require multiple shipments from cradle to grave.
The raw materials must be transported in to the manufacturing
facility. Once blending has been completed, the products must
be packaged and delivered to the customer. Once the customer
has consumed the product, and triple rinsed the drum, it must
be stored and eventually transported again to either the manufacturer
or drum recycler. While EnduroSolv® can't eliminate all of
these steps, we use a blend of liquid and solid raw materials,
ship dry products weighing 40-50 pounds (compared to the 500
pounds they replace in a liquid drum), and are consumed 100%
on premise with the container being a plastic jar that is
recyclable.
- In addition to a significant reduction in Carbon Footprint
for each case of EnduroSolv® product shipped, there is a significant
economic consideration to these freight costs. Typically,
due to the weight of the liquids shipped, and the bulk size,
freight costs can be 15%-20% of the total costs you are paying
for chemicals. With EnduroSolv® products, you only pay shipment
of the active ingredients - typically 1-2% of the product
costs. Why pay for water being transported?
