Complete line of mixers ensures uniform distribution of disinfectant for potable water tanks of all sizes
May 13, 2010
SolarBee’s award-winning, solar-powered technology creates a long-distance, near-laminar flow that thoroughly mixes tanks from corner-to-corner, including the boundary layers where bacteria can build up.
Dickinson, ND – SolarBee® mixers, available in sizes from 400 gallons per minute (gpm) to 10,000 gpm, thoroughly mix water tanks of all sizes and are certified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61-G for materials in contact with drinking water. By actively mixing potable water storage tanks and reservoirs, SolarBee mixers help ensure uniform distribution of disinfectant, eliminate thermal stratification and prevent stagnation and short-circuiting. In addition, well-mixed tanks eliminate the need for energy–intensive deep-cycling or tank flushing.
SolarBee mixers provide a consistent disinfectant residual, allowing for disinfectant boosting as necessary to remain in the desired operating range. Each SolarBee potable mixer includes disinfectant injection capability compatible with SolarBee’s optional Chlorine Boost System for safe and effective disinfectant boosting from ground level.
Several SolarBee models offer collapsible frames, designed to install in less than a day through a hatch as small as 18 inches, without costly infrastructure changes and without taking the tank out of service.
Energy-efficient solar technology
The solar-powered, floating mixer operates day and night with a permanent magnet, low-voltage motor and on-board battery system for continuous, energy-efficient water quality improvement. The unique SolarBee flow pattern ensures consistent dispersion of disinfectant throughout the tank volume, including constant replacement at the boundary layers (i.e., tank floor and sidewalls) where bacterial growth would otherwise use up the disinfectant.
