Effectiveness of ENiGMA testing
26 November 2009
Environmental Treatment Concepts have experienced that Eureka moment with independent evidence of the effectiveness of their ENiGMA.
Since first introducing the world to ENiGMA in 1989, Environmental Treatment Concepts Ltd has searched for a method of measuring or demonstrating the ability to actually change the condition of water. Many chemical tests, carried out by a number of different institutions and organisations, have never detected a change in treated water, with the exception of a tiny increase in CO2, found by Portsmouth Water and Portsmouth University.ETC Ltd has always considered the theory of operation to be that varying frequencies, applied by the technology, caused the precipitation of calcium, which was borne out by the CO2 increase, post treatment, and observations from treated systems in the field. However, thanks to a long term association with the University of Hulls' Department for Chemistry in Industry, managed by Ian Dobson, clear evidence has now been produced to support this theory.
Taking a sample of soft calcium deposits from the bottom of one of the many MOD accommodation block calorifiers currently being treated and observing it with an SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), clearly showed a massive difference between untreated waters precipitated calcium and calcium crystals formed within treated water.
Ian commented on the resulting photographs;
“This is the first time I have seen visible evidence that ENiGMA has made a change to water. What you have in your treated–water images is fine rod like crystals that have formed in ‘free space’ i.e. not at surfaces as ordinary limescale does. So instead of forming on surfaces it has formed in the bulk of the water and will be mobile in a flowing system”.
The conclusion of the SEM comparisons clearly explains why SWE treated water is able to prevent hard scale formation.
