We first became interested in Sphagnum moss because of its use in World War I as a wound dressing. Because Sphagnum moss can absorb 20 times its weight in water, it was used as a wound dressing in battlefield wounds where there is a lot of blood and exudate. As we began to investigate the properties of Sphagnum moss we found that is was known that Sphagnum moss was able to absorb positively charged ions, called cations, from water. These cations include iron and calcium; calcium being the cause of scale formation (as calcium carbonate). The moss has a very specific mechanism for doing this, much like ion exchange, which is what occurs in a water softener.

A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program, the ENERGY STAR® Challenge for Industry, is a global call-to-action for manufacturing sites to reduce energy intensity, or the amount of energy used to make a product, by 10 percent within five years. The Diesel facility reduced its energy intensity by more than 25 percent within two years. The use of Creative Water Solutions’ ProMoss™ in their cooling towers was an important part of that accomplishment and has led Corning International to expand their use of ProMoss™ to other facilities in the U.S. “The products we produce here are the essential components in emission-control systems on diesel trucks, construction, and agricultural vehicles,” Hal Nelson, vice president and general manager, Environmental Technologies, said during his remarks. “And of course, we’ve focused on making these products in a much more energy-efficient way.”
