Many SolarBees have been deployed and proven effective in municipal and industrial wastewater systems. These systems often have serious problems ranging from odor control to EPA discharge permit violations to high energy costs. Regardless of what type of wastewater system you have, you can be assured that the SolarBee team knows the theory of operation of your system, understands the likely causes of your problems, and will not propose a solution for you unless we have a high confidence level that the solution falls within the capabilities and limitations of the SolarBee.

Applications: Facultative Ponds Partial Mix / Aerated Ponds Complete Mix Ponds Effluent Storage Ponds Sludge Storage Basins (PDF) Industrial Waste Ponds (PDF)

Wastewater Benefits:

• Reduces energy consumption by reducing aeration/mixing equipment run-time
• Provides complete mixing in partial and total mix systems
• Improves performance of facultative pond systems
• Improves BOD, TSS and ammonia reduction
• Controls odors (odor capping systems available)
• Improves sludge digestion, reduces the need for dredging
• Reduces short-circuiting and fecal coliform counts
