Cost-Effectiveness

Sionix systems are more cost-effective than conventional water and wastewater treatment methods, making them ideal for even the smallest water utilities or commercial applications.

Among the reasons are:

  • A small footprint. The systems don’t require large parcels of valuable land for filtering beds or settling ponds. They are self-contained in modular units measuring 8’ wide x 9 1/2’ high x 40’ long.

  • Low energy consumption. If desired, the system can be powered by a small generator.

  • A minimal use of chemical filter aids.

  • A longer filter life. Conventional methods quickly clog the filters, which are relatively expensive. Frequent clogging increases the need for back-flushing, which shortens filter life. Sionix ensures a longer time between back-flushes, which prolongs filter life.

  • Easy operation and maintenance. One person can operate the system, and it can be done remotely using wireless or hardwired communications.

  • Ready to use. In most cases, the systems do not require costly and time consuming environmental studies.

  • No costly improvements. The systems satisfy the stringent EPA regulations without costly facility improvements.

  • High volume. Each system will produce a minimum of 200 gallons of fresh potable water per minute, or about 288,000 gallons per day.
