A Brief
History:
How did Solid
water treatment technologies come to the marketplace?
A gentleman with long years of experience in sales and
service in and out of the water treatment field had experienced solid materials
used in other industries. The gentleman had the idea, "Why can't we
do the same thing for water treatment?" "Solid materials are easier to
handle and to dispense! Plus they can be more efficient, you're not using water
as a component of the product." 21st Century Innovations, Inc. was formed
to capitalize on solid technologies for water treatment applications.
With the basic concept in mind plans were drawn up by 21st
Century as to what equipment and materials would be required to dispense the
solid water treatment products. Sample water treatment formulations were
provided for encapsulation techniques. Experimentation began, results
were tabulated, adjustments were made and the journey began. After having
the prototype dispensing equipment and product formulations, prototypes were
installed in both laboratory and in field use for constant monitoring of
dissolution rates. 21st Century Innovations, Inc. committed it’s organization
to pursue only those technologies which would bring safer applications of water
treatment products combined with the best application chemistries available.
Naturally there were skeptics!
It is quite a departure for
many to have a 55 gallon, 500 pound drum of liquid reduced to a small one-foot
cubed size weighing 36 pounds and to have the material be non-hazardous. For a
solid to have a performance criterion that exceeds the liquids it replaces.
To
have someone be able to smash the solid and have nothing leak from the
container. It would only be natural for skepticism to exist.
21st Century
equipment and products were not only viable in the marketplace but actually out
performing competitive products by wide margins, materials were then released
to a select group of water treatment service companies early in the spring of
1996. In the fall of 1996 21st Century materials were introduced to the water
treatment service companies at the annual convention of the Association of Water
Technologies held in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Market approval of the 21st
Century technology has been so great that on a daily basis new products are
being development, tested, finalized and brought to market.
21st Century Innovations and it’s "Solid Solution to
Water Treatment" has proven to be widely accepted as a safer and more
environmentally friendly approach to water treatment than virtually any other
type of product in the marketplace today. Hundreds and hundreds of installations
are now in place with end use operators no longer having to handle chemical
compounds or to move unwieldy drums or totes. Safety been vastly
improved, system performances have improved with engineering staffs enjoying
hands free water treatment applications.
What 21st Century Innovations, Inc. has done is not to
invent new molecular structures or equipment dispensing systems. Rather 21st
Century Innovations, Inc. has capitalized on what existed in the marketplace
from other industries and refined the technologies for use and application in
the water treatment marketplace.
Currently:
21st
Century Innovations has a varied group of personnel who are routinely improving
& developing new Solid Solution products for use in a variety of
marketplaces.
