What is Watersavr?
WaterSavr is a patented (US patent no: 6,303,133 ) hydrated lime powder with hydroxy alkanes that is applied to the surface of the water. Ionic repulsion causes the hydroxy alkanes to self-spread, resulting in a mono-molecular film on the surface of the water, which effectively reduces evaporation. This same mechanism enables reforming of the film if integrity is lost due to wind or wave action
Reduces evaporation losses up to 20 – 50 percent on reservoirs and dams.
Despite other chemical film alternatives Sukurtaran is an environment frendly and economical applicable product.
- A breakthrough in surface water evaporation technology
- Forms invisible film on water surface that reduces evaporation
- Reforms after wind or wave action
- Degrades in two to four days into water and air
- Easily applied powdered form:
- hydrated lime
- Cetyl/stearyl hydroxy-alkanes
- No decrease in dissolved oxygen level of water
- Even at maximum dosage of 0,3mg/ there is no adverse affects on water ecosystem.
- Sukurtaran contains food grade and potably approved ingredients
- Application dosage of 1 kg WaterSavr/Sukurtaran hectare is enough for success.
How ionic repulsion creates the self-spreading effect?
