Wastewater Mixing
Most SolarBees have been deployed in municipal or industrial wastewater systems. These systems often have serious problems ranging from odor control to EPA discharge permit violations to high energy costs. SolarBees have been effective in many different types of wastewater systems.

Wastewater Benefits:
- Reduces energy consumption 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 and reduces the need for dredging
- Reduces short-circuiting and fecal coliform counts

Facultative Ponds: Facultative ponds work great in theory and often in practice. But due to the vagaries of nature, and because populations and industrial use can grow beyond prior estimates, these ponds often need some help. The SolarBee can correct problems of overloading, odors, algae blooms, duckweed(in many cases), high BOD, high suspended solids (TSS), high ammonia (N), high phosphorus (P), high pH, low DO, and excessive volatile sludge buildup.
Partial-Mix Ponds: In these ponds, the SolarBee can correct many of the same water quality problems that occur in facultative ponds and, in addition, in many cases the energy saving will pay for the SolarBee(s) in one to five years. Partial-mix ponds, due to their heavy loading, exert a downward pressure on pH that ultimately leads to unnecessary sludge buildup in the front-end ponds and high nutrient loading in the final pond. After several years of operation, these conditions can cause algae-related BOD and TSS problems, and high ammonia (N) and phosphorus (P) in the effluent. The SolarBee can usually correct all of these problems.
Complete-Mix, AIPS, High Performance, and Anaerobic Ponds: Each of these types of wastewater pond systems have their own unique theories of operation and their own unique problems. The SolarBee usually has a place in each of these types of systems, to accomplish goals ranging from energy saving to odor control.
Regardless of what type of wastewater system you have, you can be assured that the PSI SolarBee team knows the theory of operation of your system, and understands the likely causes of your problems, and will not propose a solution for you unless it has a high confidence level that the solution falls within both the capabilities and the limitations of the SolarBee.
