It all began with a straightforward but impactful concept: to address significant industry challenges through innovative solutions. HVAC systems in sectors such as hospitality, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals faced numerous inefficiencies. Thus, we wondered—why not create a more effective solution?
The Challenges in HVAC Systems
Here’s what we faced:
• Chillers and cooling towers struggling to perform efficiently
• Skyrocketing operational costs
• Downtime-draining productivity
• Wasting energy and water like there’s no tomorrow
The existing methods were outdated, labour intensive, and just plain unsafe. It was time for bold leadership and smarter solutions.
Reimagining Chillers
One particular challenge demanded our attention: how do you descale a condenser without acids, chemicals, or high-pressure jets—without shutting it down, harming the tubes, or requiring manpower?
The solution had to be transformative. We took the challenge head-on. After relentless R&D and significant investment, we delivered the ECOMax-HE Automatic Tube Cleaning System. It’s not just innovation—it’s a game-changer.
The Early Struggles
Launching a disruptive solution isn’t without its trials. Here’s what we faced: • Installation downtime
• Gaining trust for a new, untested product
• Proving real-world performance
In 2014, a pharmaceutical company in Pune gave us a shot. After persistent discussions, results proved our mettle:
• Condensers are cleaned with zero chemicals and zero risks.
• Energy savings exceeding 10% on the chiller side.
• ROI achieved in under a year.
Momentum built rapidly, with a second order following soon after. A revolution was underway.
Tackling the Cooling Tower Challenge
Chillers were just the beginning. Cooling towers—a major energy and resource sink— presented the next frontier. Here’s what we addressed:
• Escalating operational costs
• Dependence on chemical-heavy water treatments
• Maintenance bottlenecks
• Wastage from inefficient systems
Staying true to our commitment to innovation, we launched the ECOMax-CT Electrolytic CT Water Treatment System in 2016.
Delivering Results That Matter
The impact was immediate and measurable:
• Significant water conservation in cooling towers
• Enhanced water quality (pH, TDS, hardness—meticulously maintained) • Corrosion and biological growth? Eliminated.
Earning Recognition and Respect
Our innovations didn’t just meet expectations—they set new standards. Highlights include: • Patents secured for both systems
• National Award for Excellence in Water Management (2022)
• Selection by IFC’s TechEmerge Program for Sustainable Cooling Innovation in Indian hospitality
• Green Label Certification from the Singapore Green Building Council
These accolades aren’t just milestones—they validate our vision of reshaping the industry through sustainable, results-driven technology.
Taking Innovation Global
By 2024, our mission is global, aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): • Cutting carbon emissions
• Conserving vital water resources
• Championing sustainable solutions in HVAC
Here’s what that looks like in action for 1000 TR Water Cooled Chiller & Cooling Tower: • ECOMax-HE reduces ~95 tons of CO2 e annually chiller
• ECOMax-CT delivers a ~10 kL/day reduction in cooling tower blowdown water ECOMAX: Leadership in Action
