For Immediate Release
TORONTO --- May 1, 2007 --- EnviroTower was honored by the City of Toronto for its innovative environmental technology, as part of the prestigious Green Toronto Awards. The company was a finalist for the Market Transformation Award, which recognizes efforts to promote products and services which lessen the impact on the environment and human health, and use the power of the market to positively change consumer behavior.
"We are proud to be recognized by the City of Toronto for our efforts in positively transforming the water treatment market by eliminating toxic chemicals, said Murray McCaig, CEO.
"EnviroTower is working with leading commercial and industrial facilities in the Greater Toronto area to reduce their environmental impact, while at the same time lower their operating costs."
EnviroTower is a Cleantech industry leader and a pioneer in Physical Water Treatment technology. The company is based in Toronto, has installations across North America, and its technology has been in operation for over a decade.
The EnviroTower System is the first and only technology that replaces traditional chemicals for water treatment in cooling towers, while delivering the following environmental benefits:
- Reduces water consumption by up to 20 percent
- Reduces energy consumption by up to 25 percent
- Stops the use of traditional chemical treatment, eliminating toxic water discharge into municipal sewage systems
- Eliminates the risk to worker health from chemical handling
"Your efforts and achievements provide tangible benefits as well as providing good examples to motivate others in the broader community who learn about what you are doing. Those efforts add up and make a difference," remarked Toronto Mayor David Miller about the award nominees.
"If all cooling towers in North America were retrofitted with the EnviroTower system, energy consumption would decline by 57 billion kilowatt hours and water consumption would fall by 160 billion gallons each year," said McCaig. "We are excited to be providing this environmental solution."
