NIPSCO (A NiSource company) - United States

“We were using both an algaecide (quaternary amine) and a UV-blocker at all our cooling towers. By the end of the season we eliminated using the UV-blocker chemical and we reduced the algaecide by 25%.  We intend to reduce more in 2020 [with MPC-Buoy].

You have a quality product [MPC-Buoy] that has potential to help many customers such as ourselves. We enjoy working with quality people.“

Brian Snyder – Senior Chemical & Environmental Specialist, NIPSCO

American Water - Water utility - United States

“ Extensive testing conducted during 2014 showed that the buoys had a significant impact on the algae, allowing the plant to reduce chemical consumption by more than 20 percent, and reducing the concentration of undesirable taste and odor causing compounds in the treated water delivered to customers ”
