EcoVAP Records Highest Evaporation Rate to Date, 63x Pan Rate, at BGNDRF Test Facility

EcoVAP Records Highest Evaporation Rate to Date, 63x Pan Rate, at BGNDRF Test Facility

June 23, 2022

For the test period (including the end of summer, fall, and the beginning of winter), EcoVAP evaporated water at 63.4x the normal “pan” rate per unit of surface area. In other words, by deploying an EcoVAP Matrix, for every inch of water that mother nature naturally eliminates on a pond surface, EcoVAP eliminated 63.4 inches. This result is slightly greater than the 59x multiple of EcoVAP vs. conventional evaporation recorded by a Golder Associates validation report in 2017.

EcoVAP CEO Jason Mendenhall states that “The Bureau of Reclamation and BGNDRF facilities have been invaluable in our effort to further legitimize EcoVAP’s proven biomimicry-based enhanced evaporation technology. We are pleased with these initial results, and welcome anyone to visit the EcoVAP pilot at BGNDRF or any of our full-scale operating facilities in Montana, Utah, Texas, and California.”
