Need for Energy Conservation
• Energy prices expected to rise
• Decreased tax revenues/reduction in water sales
• Stringent nutrient effluent limits driving treatment complexity and
energy consumption
• Current infrastructure is inadequate

• Conventional point source solution
• Functional but costly…
• 2x power costs of distributed energy model
• Maintenance is a key challenge
• Low flexibility/integration potential
• Short life span: 5-7 years
New Mixing Paradigm
• Distributed mixing & energy solution
• Effective & efficient; 60%+ energy savings
• Variable operator settings
• Highly scalable
• Design flexibility
• Smart systems integration/process automation
