EcoAeon’s VCB (Vortex Ceramic Ball) water treatment technology has been tested across various regions and crop types with remarkable consistent improvements in yield, quality, and sustainability.
🥒 Cucumbers
Test Conditions: Open field, hybrid cucumber plants
Key Findings:
Yield increased by 24–40%
Fruits showed longer shelf life
Better appearance and firmness post-harvest
“The VCB-treated crops were visibly healthier and remained fresh longer after picking.”
🥒 Cucumbers
Location: Ministry of Agriculture R&D Center, Arava
Conditions: High salinity groundwater
Results:
Export-quality yield rose to 544 kg from 464 kg
Excellent performance in tough water conditions
🥒 Cucumbers
Location: Madurai, India – 2000m² polyhouse

Results:
₹60,000 saved on fertilizers per cycle
₹15,000 saved on pesticides
Shelf life +2 days, better nutrient absorption, faster growth
“The roots were longer and absorbed more nutrients – a big difference!” – Local farmer
🥒 Cucumbers
Location: Bangalore, India – 1000m² field
Results:
30% increase in cucumber weight
Two additional harvests compared to control plot
🧅 Onions
Harvests in 2021 & 2022
Yield increase: 22.5% to 23.9%
Stable performance across seasons
Consistent output improvement using VCB irrigation
🥥 Coconuts
Harvest 1 (May 2021):
Harvest 2 (July 2021):
“The boost in coconut count and size was dramatic!”
Context: Field experiments conducted by Prof. Mohan from the Civil Engineering Department at IIT Madras.
Objective: Evaluate the effect of EcoAeon VCB water on plant growth using treated and untreated samples.
Method:
Pots were filled with identical soil and planted with bottle gourd.
One set was irrigated with VCB-treated water; the other with untreated (normal) water.
Growth observations were recorded regularly.
Findings:
VCB-treated plants showed visibly faster growth, with earlier germination and more vigorous shoot and root development.
Leaf area and overall health were significantly better in the VCB group.
The treated plants developed earlier and matured faster.
No external inputs (like fertilizers) were added, indicating VCB’s effect came purely from water structuring.
Conclusion:
Prof. Mohan stated the results were clearly observable and repeatable.
He recommended broader studies and further research into this water-based technology, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize sustainable agriculture.
🐟 Fish
Fish were placed in two identical ponds, each with a volume of 10 m³ and a depth of approximately 50 cm.
Both ponds were located in the same facility to ensure identical external conditions in terms of lighting, temperature, and fresh water exchange.
Water temperature ranged between 25–29°C throughout the experiment.
Experiment duration: 06-09-2017 to 30-11-2017
Both ponds had air stones and airlifts for water circulation.
Each pond operated with a 3 TOP pump. In Pond 10, the SEM 1000 device was installed after the pump.
Water flow rate was approximately 4 m³/h.
Sludge was pumped out from both ponds once a week.
Throughout the experiment, measurements were taken for ammonia, nitrite, oxygen levels, and water clarity. Fish mortality was also recorded.
Water clarity was measured on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 being completely clear.
Each pond was stocked at the beginning with 3,820 fish averaging 3.4g each, all originating from the same source pond.
Fish were fed on demand: whenever the food was finished, another portion was given 2–3 times per day.
| Parameter | With SEM 1000 | Without |
|---|---|---|
| Survival Rate | 91% | 71% |
| Avg. Ammonia (ppm) | 0.20 | 0.24 |
| Avg. Nitrite (ppm) | 0.31 | 0.19 |
| Final Biomass (kg) | 18.4 | 15.6 |
| Water Clarity | 3.67 | 2.64 |
| Ratio of Large to Small Fish | 140% | 163% |
The pond with the SEM device showed much higher survival rates and significantly better water clarity.
Fish in the SEM-treated pond had better growth, and the size distribution between large and small fish was more favorable.
Although the biomass was higher in the SEM pond, oxygen levels remained the same as the control — even though a drop would normally be expected.
No significant differences were observed in other parameters.
Conclusion:
The results justify a more detailed investigation of the SEM 1000 device in a structured trial with more repetitions.
