Case Study for Customer Location
CA96:
Reservoir or Lake Use:
This is an enclosed potable water system that consists of two
above-ground potable water tanks. The system utilizes chlorine
for disinfection.
System Overview and Reservoir:
One tank has a capacity of 1.5 MG, with a maximum depth of 29 ft
and an average depth of 24 ft when containing 1.1 MG. Average
flow is about 0.5 MG per day. The second tank has a 5 MG
capacity with averages depth of 32 ft with 4.8MG and 28 ft with
4.2MG. Average flow is about 1.2 MG per day.
Reported Problem Before SolarBee Installation:
Objectives were to thoroughly mix the water to prevent
stratification, to maintain uniform water age, and to maintain
chlorine residual.
SolarBee Installation:
Date: Dec 2004; two (2) SolarBee SB1250v12-PW units were
installed, one in each tank. Each unit was placed just off
center of the tanks, favoring the hatch side. March 2006, two
(2) additional SB1250v12-PW were installed in other tanks of
similar size.
Results:
Production and Control Superintendent expressed sincere
appreciation for the great work by the SolarBee installation
crew. Results show that the SolarBees prevent thermal
stratification and maintain uniform water age in the tanks.
Because of this complete mixing, the owner has been able to
reduce their chlorine boosting by 50% and still maintain a
consistent chlorine residual of 0.83-0.90 mg/L in the tanks. Due
to the benefits achieved with the first two units, the water
district purchased 2 more units in March 2006 for other tanks,
and plans on acquiring additional units in the future. The owner
is very pleased with benefits of the SolarBees, as well as with
the customer service and after-sale support from Pump Systems,
Inc.
