Some industrial applications have ponds and reservoirs similar to municipal ponds. Please see other sections of this website as well, including municipal wastewater, water reuse, lakes, and stormwater.

GridBee GF Series Electric Mixers

SolarBee SB Series Solar Mixers

Many types of industrial water reservoirs have been improved by our GridBee electric and SolarBee solar-powered long-distance mixers. Our company understands reservoirs, and helps solve a wide variety of problems. Here is a partial list of industries and applications where GridBee and SolarBee long distance circulators and mixers are used in various ponds and reservoirs.

Industries include:

• Power plants, coal fired and nuclear
• Refineries
• Chemical manufacturing plants
• Paper plants
• Food manufacturing plants; juice, vegetables, wine, beer, milk, cheese, beef, and other plants
• Rendering plants
• Solid waste leachate ponds
• Superfund clean up lakes
• Mining ponds

Applications include:

• Eliminate blue-green algae issues in cooling lakes, stormwater ponds and reuse ponds
• Control odors in sludge storage ponds
• Distribute an oxidizer to provide an odor cap for anaerobic ponds
• De-gas sulfides continuously to eliminate odor in large deep ponds
• Distribute flocculation chemicals evenly in large reservoirs to settle heavy metals
• Reduce aeration and mixing energy in aerated ponds and basins
• Suspend solids better and reduce energy usage in complete mix ponds
• Replace aeration and generators in storm water ponds
• Improve mixing and reduce energy usage in complete mix ponds
• Increase evaporation in large cooling ponds, ponds with organic film on the surface, and salt production ponds
• Improve ammonia reduction in lagoon systems
• Prevent arsenic problems in anoxic sediment of various lakes

Tax benefits: A key advantage industrial users have in using solar-powered SolarBee equipment is that about 50% of the project is paid for by tax savings, including a 30% investment tax credit and accelerated depreciation. In most cases this reduces the solar-powered SolarBee equipment to about the same cost as GridBee electric equipment.
