Case Study for Customer Location CA121:
Reservoir or Lake Use:
This is a secondary wastewater treatment plant.. The system is comprised of an oxidation ditch and
secondary clarifiers, and then discharges to secondary effluent storage basin before ultimately being
discharged to irrigate fields.
System Overview and Reservoir:
The treated pond is a secondary effluent storage basin, 1.3 surface acres, 5 ft deep, and has a 1-day
detention time.
Reported Problem Before SolarBee Installation:
This pond had a history of aquatic weeds (Sago pond weed) and floating algal mats promoted by
stagnant water and short-circuiting. This condition resulted in noxious odors.
SolarBee Installation:
Date: April 2004, installed one (1) SB4000 in the middle of the pond.
Results:
There have been neither floating algal mats nor odors since the installation of the SolarBee. The
reduction of aquatic weeds has been slower, but by 2006 they too were no longer a problem.
Customer is very pleased with the results, and reports that the SolarBee is “working great!”.
