its context intact.

From instrumented development and early screening through comparative field work—presented with the limitations needed to interpret it responsibly.

What was recorded.

Start with the pieces of the record that can be located and described: operating context, supplied imagery, equipment configuration and reported measurements.

  • Test windows and setup context
  • Supplied field imagery and observation media
  • Solution readings with their conditions

Matched source.
Practical comparison.

Small-scale tests used locally collected rainwater as the common base for untreated water and carbonic solution. Field-scale work used two 200-gallon skid tanks supplied with municipal water and carbonic solution for paired pallet burns.

WHAT THE FIGURES DESCRIBE

Relative outcomes within the reported comparative series.

The percentages summarize directional differences observed across the Lakeland work as reported by SC Technologies.

WHAT THEY DO NOT ESTABLISH

Universal performance or deployment readiness.

The public record does not establish an absolute sample count, statistical confidence, independent replication or performance across other fuels, equipment and operating conditions.

WATER BASE

Common rainwater

Used for the small-scale untreated and carbonic comparisons.

FIELD DELIVERY

Paired 200-gallon tanks

Municipal water and carbonic solution supported practical pallet burns.

INTERPRETATION

Test-series signal

No broader performance conclusion or published absolute sample count is implied.

Useful direction.
Known limitation.

Six screening burns used equal half-gallon applications. Carbonic lake water was infused to pH 4.59–4.89; ending temperatures ranged from 140–219°F, compared with 325–470°F for untreated well water.

Because the base-water sources differed, this work was not an independently controlled comparison. It informed the later matched-source protocol.

Results and
limitations together.

Credibility depends on water source, fuel load, application method, conditions, measurement and comparison design—not a headline number alone.
