THE POLCON HELIXOR SYSTEM
Polcon Lagoon System in Operation
THE PRODUCT:
The POLCON "HELIXOR" Unit, invented in 1967, has an outstanding international reputation and reference list.
The "HELIXOR" Unit is a sub-surface mixing/aerating device, constructed of twelve (12) inch diameter moulded polypropylene, incorporating throughout its interior length, an integral monolithic helix component. The units are anchored vertically and are supplied with compressed air (or gas) at their base. This creates a highly turbulent flow of air (gas) and liquid.
The HELIXOR Unit's success worldwide is largely due to:
Its efficient oxygen transfer and complete mixing conditions;
Its low capital costs due to simplicity of installation and start-up;
Its total absence of moving parts underwater, resulting in substantial savings in operating and maintenance costs.
WORLDWIDE APPLICATIONS:
POLCON HELIXOR Systems have a wide range of applications. There are approximately two thousand (2,000) in operation throughout the world.
The HELIXOR Unit has been incorporated into systems designed for:
Treatment of Industrial Wastewater
Treatment of Domestic Sewage
Water Quality Improvement
Lake Aeration
Ice Prevention - Prevention of Winter Fishkill
pH Balancing - Industrial Mixing, etc.
Treatment Systems range from conventional aerated lagoons and concrete tanks or basins, to systems installed within the receiving body of water - (i.e. a portion of a lake, river, or harbour is used as a treatment facility). The use of HELIXORS offers flexibility of design and few restrictions as to basin depth or geometry.
POLCON's Water Quality Improvement and Eutrophication Reversal Systems are designed to create and maintain ideal environments for the growth of desirable and healthy aquatic life and, in colder climes, the prevention of ice formation and winter fishkill.
