PAX Water Technologies presented a technical talk at the 25th annual Association of State Drinking Water Administrators meeting last week in Pittsburgh, PA entitled Stabilization and Improvement of Distribution System Water Quality in Reservoirs and Tanks – a Key to Stage 2 Compliance.
Topics: active mixing, disinfectant residual, high water age, dbp formation
We learned this week that an engineer (who shall remain unnamed) presented a paper at the DSS meeting in Maryland about water age modeling in which he claimed that mixing CANNOT decrease water age.
Topics: active mixing, disinfectant residual, storage tanks, high water age, mixing systems
Temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees across much of the Eastern seaboard this week and municipalities large and small will be contending with managing their water quality.
Topics: active mixing, eliminate stratification, water circulation, high water age
Active mixing has been shown to eliminate thermal stratification, prevent the formation of dead zones, reduce disinfectant residual loss and improve overall water quality in potable water storage tanks.
Topics: eliminate stratification, water circulation, high water age, mixing systems
Last week, PAX Water Technologies partnered with Utility Service Company to offer a pre-conference workshop on tank maintenance and water quality at the Kansas Rural Water Association show, the largest rural water association conference in the country. The six hour workshop titled, Operation and Maintenance of Water Storage Tanks, included a variety of topics related to water tanks such as safety, sanitary, structural, coatings and security concerns.
Topics: Water Quality, WaterMix, water circulation, high water age, mixing systems, low turnover
