SolarBee Named Top 50 Water Company for Third Year Running
May 17, 2011
SolarBee’s award-winning long-distance circulation technology helps solve water-quality problems in lakes, potable water storage tanks, wastewater lagoons and other water reservoirs.
DICKINSON, N.D. - For the third year in a row, SolarBee® is a winner in the competition that recognizes innovative water technologies. The annual competition is sponsored by The Artemis Project™, San Francisco, a boutique consulting practice dedicated to improving water quality worldwide. Selected from over 200 nominations, winners of the Artemis Project Top 50 award will be honored at the Ontario H20 Global Water Leadership Summit on May 17th and 18th in Toronto, Canada.

SolarBee, a winner of the 2011 Top 50 Water Companies Competition, recently introduced the THM Removal System, which combines mixing and air-stripping technologies to remove all four types of regulated THMs from potable water storage tanks. |
SolarBee manufactures solar- and grid-powered mixers that improve water quality in potable water, wastewater and lakes. SolarBee was selected based on technology, intellectual property and know-how, team and market potential.
This year, SolarBee introduced two significant products for potable water and one for wastewater. The GS-12 high-volume mixer for potable water is approximately one third the cost of comparable mixers, giving municipalities an economical tank-mixing alternative. The SolarBee THM Removal System, also for potable tanks, combines mixing and air-stripping technologies to remove trihalomethanes from water and helps municipalities meet the EPA Stage 2 DBPR. In wastewater activated sludge systems, SolarBee mixers reduce mixing energy costs in reactor basins and equalization basins, and can provide odor-capping in anaerobic waste-activated sludge ponds.
SolarBee’s patented mixing technology creates a long-distance, near-laminar flow that can prevent and control blue-green algae in lakes and raw water reservoirs, or provide energy savings by reducing aeration run-time in wastewater. It can also completely mix potable water storage tanks, eliminating stagnation and thermal stratification, to provide a uniform water age. Long-distance circulation can be applied to lakes, raw water reservoirs, potable water storage tanks, wastewater lagoons, industrial ponds, stormwater ponds, water re-use ponds, estuaries, and other water reservoirs.
"The Artemis Top 50 is the water industry’s benchmark for recognizing innovation that will matter. It identifies the entrepreneurs that are applying technology to meet the world's water challenges,” said Laura Shenkar, principal at The Artemis Project. “Water tech is quickly becoming an engine for economic development and job growth. With these awards, we strive to identify the companies offering the most promising technologies coming onto the market.”
