Sionix systems remove more than 99.5% of particles in water, and can
filter down to 1 micron.
Sionix systems provide an absolute barrier to bacterial and parasitic
organisms, particularly Cryptosporidium (3 to 4 microns) and Giardia
lamblia (5 to 7 microns). Conventional methods remove some particles,
then attempt to disinfect with chemicals like chlorine. Cryptosporidium
and Giardia lamblia are extremely resistant to chlorine. The use of
chlorine increases the likelihood of Trihalomethanes (THM’s),
dangerous byproducts linked to health hazards. Sionix requires few chemical
filter aids, and eliminates or greatly reduces THM’s.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) has been used to treat water for more
than 80 years, primarily in Europe. Some of the first systems installed
in Scandinavia in the 1920s are still operating today.
Using ordinary air under pressure, the DAF method injects microscopic
bubbles into the water being treated. The air bubbles bond with parasitic
and organic matter in the water. They make the particles light, causing
them float to the surface. They are then skimmed away.

Sionix uses Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) technology. This technology
uses microscopic bubbles that bond with particles suspended in water.
The air forces the particles to the surface, where they are skimmed
off. This technology has been in use for more than 80 years. Sionix
perfected it, with groundbreaking patented technology.

No. The systems use ordinary air or oxygen.

Sionix systems meet all Environmental Protection Agency regulations
for the treatment of surface or ground water. Used as a pre-filter or
as a stand-alone system, Sionix will bring water treatment facilities
into compliance.

A Sionix system will produce a minimum of 200 gallons of fresh, potable
water per minute, about 288,000 gallons per day. This is enough for
a community of 2,400 people (about 500 to 600 homes) and its infrastructure.

Each system will produce a minimum of 200 gallons of water per minute,
or 288,000 gallons per day.

Sionix systems are modular. Additional units can easily be placed next
to one another and manifold from the same source water.

The Sionix footprint is small, and takes up a fraction of the space
of traditional methods. Each unit measures 8’ wide x 9 1/2’
high x 40’ long. A unit can be installed in any treatment facility.
It can be used as a pre-filter or as a stand-alone system.
Back to Top.
On average, it takes 24 to 72 hours to install a system and have it
completely operational.
Back to Top.
Yes. One person can operate numerous systems. The systems can even be
operated remotely, using hardwired or wireless communications.

Sionix features SCADA hardware and Water Treatment Office Automation
Software. These provide online real-time monitoring of water treatment,
storage and distribution systems. They also automatically control and
monitor the wet-chemistry, in-line sensors, ozone level, automatic self-cleaning
filtration systems, and automatic filter-to-waste control programs.
Back to Top.
Yes. The systems require less maintenance than conventional methods,
and require less back-flushing.

Sionix systems are ideal for small- to medium-sized public water districts
and many commercial/industrial applications with water and wastewater
treatment needs.
Our technology is used to support public water treatment plants, sewage
treatment plants, water reclamation facilities, commercial air conditioning
cooling towers, emergency water systems for floods, earthquakes, tornadoes,
etc. It is also ideal for use in the food and beverage processing industry,
the dairy products industry, and aquaculture fish farms.

There are several reasons to consider installing a Sionix system, Additional
EPA Standards even if you are satisfied with your current methods. Simply
put, however, the Sionix systems produce a higher quality of water more
efficiently, using less money, less energy and less space.
According to EPA reports, 50,000 communities in the United States are
currently in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. These numbers
are expected to increase, as more stringent EPA rules become effective.
Sionix will bring any water treatment facility into compliance. The
system can be added as a pre-filter, or it can operate as a stand-alone
system.

The Sionix system is housed in a standard ISO transportable shipping
container measuring 8’ wide x 9 1/2’ high x 40’ long.
A 30’ long “Penthouse” service structure with the
same dimensions may be mounted atop the container at the influent end.
The system can be installed on a concrete mounting slab measuring 14’
x 46’.
