SolarBee Gets Busy on Wastewater Treatment
SolarBee, the North Dakota company that has made a name for itself with solar-powered circulators to improve water quality in ponds and lakes, has developed solar equipment for wastewater treatment plants as well. The devices could have a huge impact on electricity consumption at thousands of wastewater plants in the U.S. alone, without the need for costly retrofits. A SolarBee unit requires only 36 watts to operate, and it improves the treatment process while replacing up to 25,000 watts of grid-connected equipment with sustainable solar power.
