AKS were approached by Kyogle Council in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales to provide a solar powered mixing solution to inhibit Algal growth in a stormwater retention basin.
Two of our patented OrbSolar mixers were used for this application, with the units factory tested, ensuring efficient onsite installation. The key advantage of the OrbSolar is that it destratifies by drawing source water from the lower levels of the basin and then disperses it over the water surface, raising the dissolved oxygen levels and mitigating against the development of blue green algae.
Easy to install, the OrbSolar Mixer is tethered via two onshore cables, providing a stable platform for the mixer to operate. With powerful battery operation feed by inbuilt solar panels.
Operating with 100% renewable solar energy, each OrbSolar can move up to 2ML of water per hour. The system can also be optioned to connect to SCADA system, and is offered with an optional turbine in high wind areas.
