Biomimicry Pax Water Technologies Case Study – Part I

PAX WATER

PAX and its subsidiaries constitute a novel research and product-

engineering firm that is based on sophisticated manipulation of

flow inspired by nature.

The Lily replicates nature’s spiral flow pattern – observed in

whirlpools and tornados – to significantly improve the performance

and energy usage of mixing water storage tanks.
