The meaning of the word “Phigenics” relates to the Founders’ vision: Optimizing operational efficiency and improving safety in building water systems to produce balanced systems that save money and enhance the quality of life.
The word “Phigenics” is a combinational play on the word “phi” (we also use the symbol for phi, φ, in our logo) and the suffix “-genics”. φ refers to an optimized system in which components are continuously in balance. Discovered by ancient Greek mathematicians, this ratio, φ, shows up in an array of balanced systems and has been called “The Golden Mean” or “The Divine Proportion”. An interesting aspect of φ is its relation to probability and risk. The Italian mathematician, Fibonacci, first described the predictive value of numbers in his famous Fibonacci series, which approaches the numerical value of φ. His work established the basis for what has become the science of risk analysis and risk management.
The suffix “-genics” means “producing, forming or causing to produce or form”. For example, biogenic means “produced from a biological source” and pathogenic refers to something that produces disease.
Thus, Phigenics is about using the predictive power of risk management processes to produce for our clients balanced systems that optimize safety and operational efficiency.
Phigenics is an innovative and INDEPENDENT water management company that meets the increasingly complex needs of facility owners and managers to improve overall water safety while reducing operational (water, chemical, energy) and capital costs. Our innovative solutions and business model represent a clear shift in thinking.
We do not sell chemicals or water treatment equipment and we are not driven to provide a solution that is restricted to an internal product line.
