The theory behind VRTX Technologies developed quite interestingly enough in the ballistics laboratory of an engineer/inventor named Cliff Ashbrook. Ashbrook noticed that sediment particles would build up on the floor of his ballistics tank and theorized that the low pressure (cavitation) zone created by a spinning bullet traveling through water caused changes in the water leading to the deposition of calcium carbonate. Ashbrook’s theory led to the development of nozzles to force or create cavitation.
Ashbrook licensed this technology to Lancer Corporation in the early 1990’s and a version of VRTX Technologies was formed. A Boston-based company, A.W. Chesterton, then licensed the technology from Lancer in 1998 before VRTX was established as a separate company in 2003. VRTX expanded in 2006 to include a European division, HydroVRTX, which is based in the Netherlands. Since the early 1990’s VRTX has sold over 500 chemical free cooling water treatment systems in North America and Europe. |
