CA/NV AWWA Spring Symposium - See Onno Koelman Speak

Spring Symposium

February 9, 2012 | Las Vegas, NV

Onno Koelman, PAX Water's Director of Sales, will present "Synergistic tools for managing water quality in the distribution system" on February 9th from 3-5pm. Mr. Koelman's discussion will include an overview of active mixing, in-tank aeration and disinfectant reservoir control systems for achieving high water quality in the distribution system.

Tame Nitrification with Active Mixing

Tame Nitrification

Opflow | April 2011

For most U.S. distribution systems using chloramination, nitrification is a leading water quality concern. However, by combining active mixing with regular tank maintenance and efficient operation, nitrification can be tamed in even the most challenging climates.

A Maine utility uses active mixing to cope with storage tank stratification caused by widely varying seasonal temperatures. Using a PAX Water Mixer, the utility was able to solve residual loss in the hot summer months and prevent ice damage in cold winter months.

Mix It Up

Mix It Up Improved

PublicWorks | Spring 2008

Jason Oppenheimer of PAX Water explores how active mixing can be used as a cost-effective and sustainable tool to manage water quality in reservoirs - reducing the amount of chlorine based disinfectants needed while maintaining the highest quality and consistency of water delivered.

Mix It Up And Go Green

Opflow | Jan 2010

Jason Oppenheimer and Peter S. Fiske of PAX Water discuss how active mixing in water storage tanks prevents water quality deterioration from spreading to the distribution system, eliminates the need for flushing and enhances operational efficiency by preventing thermal stratification and ensuring uniform distribution of disinfectants.

Keeping Ice From Ruining Your Water Tank

Water Quality: A Case of Mix and Match?

Water Efficiency | Jan/Feb Issue

No matter what a tank is made from, if it’s large enough and the water isn’t mixed enough, problems of quality, sedimentation, and nitrification can occur. Often, it happens during summer months when water in the upper portion of a tank warms faster than the lower portions, or vice versa in winter, plus the potential for ice damage. But either way, the thermal stratification prevents disinfectant chemicals from cycling throughout the tank, causing the process of nitrification, where naturally occurring microbes convert ammonia to nitrate. As the levels of nitrates increase, treatment chemical levels decrease, and bacterial growth can rise to the point of requiring a complete disposal of a tank’s contents.
