Waterix in a really strong growth pathWaterix's dealers have convinced new customers for the benefits of our solutions in several new countries: France, UK, Russia, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Serbia, Sweden and Estonia.
The customer segments include as well industrial as municipal waste water treatment plants, landfills and golf courses.
There are discussions on final stage in several other countries in the EMEA-region.
This means that Waterix is now on a really rapid international growth path and delivering innovative new solutions for professional water sectors for years to come.
Waterix was founded in 2003 specialising in progressive environmental technologies. The solutions it develops are focused on municipal and industrial sewage treatment and process water cooling. The principle products are aerators, mixers and process water coolers. Waterix's R&D-team has collected over 30 patents over the years, most of them recognized internationally.
The development of Waterix systems has paid special attention to the overall costs for the entire lifecycle of the product and to eco-efficiency of our products. Indeed, the distinctive characteristics of these devices are lower energy consumption than competing technologies, easy installation and servicing, as well as good controllability.
Waterix is Finland's largest manufacturer supplying aerators for natural bodies of water and market leader in waste stations' leachate water treatment. The new, larger models have proven their efficiency in industrial and municipal sewage treatment plants in a number of countries.
Waterix has started international activities in Central-Europe and North-Africa. We are currently investigating new partners in EMEA-area and Asia.
The cornerstones of our quality principles are developing high-quality solutions which give genuine customer benefits and we are committed to give superior customer service.
Using less energy to clean and cool water
Waterix pays particular attention to overall lifecycle costs and eco-efficiency in the design of its products. As a result, they offer lower energy consumption than competing technologies, easy installation and servicing, and excellent controllability.
This has made them popular in both industrial and municipal treatment plants, while smaller models are ideal for oxygenating lakes, ponds, fish and crab basins, and even ponds on golf courses.
Programmability
Waterix’ AIRIT aerators combine the high operating efficiency and controllability of bottom aerators with the reliability and low capital cost of surface aerators.
The use of large intake pipes, which can be up to six meters deep, means that water can circulate easily. Once on the surface, water is thrown out horizontally in carefully controlled droplet and spray patterns and aerated.
To ensure optimum energy usage, a programmable AC drive is used to control rotational speed. Oxygen sensors measure the oxygen level in the water and pass this data on to the drive, which automatically regulates aerating capacity as needed.

| Waterix’ CORONA BOREALIS aerator improves water quality and provides an attractive water feature for golf courses. |
The in-built programmability of the system also enables customers to set up things such as automatic propeller cleaning cycles and tailored aerating/mixing sequences.
The light weight of Waterix aerators is also a plus. Smaller cranes are needed to install units at wastewater treatment plants, while units used in natural water areas can be installed and moved manually.
Cooling things down
By modifying droplet size and using larger and higher spray patterns, an aerator can make a highly efficient and cost-effective cooler – and Waterix COOLIT coolers are ideal for cooling hot process water and acting as condensers for cooling basin water.
Two small COOLIT 8000 units weighing about 80 kilos, for example, can replace an entire cooling tower of the type widely used in the forest industry weighing almost a tonne.
Thanks to their large intake pipes, Waterix coolers are virtually always blockage-free, something that is particularly appreciated on golf courses, and a slightly modified version of the COOLIT 8000 has been specifically designed for aerating and cooling golf course ponds.

| Waterix AIRIT aerators Waterix Oy's AIRIT aerators combine the high operating efficiency and controllability of bottom aerators with the reliability and low acquisition cost of the surface aerator. Waterix AIRIT aerators are indeed designed to minimize lifecycle expenses, such as acquisition price, maintenance and energy consumption. Waterix has launched seven aerators on the market; AIRIT Micro, AIRIT 70, AIRIT 200, AIRIT 350, AIRIT 700, AIRIT 1700, AIRIT 70G and CORONA BOREALIS. The figure used for the device depicts how many kilograms of oxygen the device aerates in a twenty-four hour period. For instance, the AIRIT 200 aerator produces 8.3 kilograms of oxygen an hour. Waterix's innovative AIRIT aerator is so efficient at mixing wastewater that the basin rarely needs to employ other mixing methods. This solution reduces acquisition and operational costs. These aerators are perfect for purifying municipal and industrial sewage, as well as seepage from dumping grounds. Other applications ideal for Waterix AIRIT aerators are, for instance, oxidation of natural bodies of water and golf course ponds |
| Waterix COOLIT coolers Waterix COOLIT coolers are ideal for cooling hot process water and as a condenser for cooling basin water, and they may typically replace more costly cooling tower solutions. A couple of applications that deserve a mention are the cooling of industrial process water and forest industry wastewater. The operating efficiency of the coolers is high. For example, the COOLIT 8000 cools 60-degree water at 4000 kW of power under normal conditions (air temperature 20°C, humidity 40 % |
| Waterix MIXIT mixers The Waterix Ltd's mixers are used for mixing sewage and industrial process water. The mixers can be equipped with a frequency transformer, so mixing power can be adjusted steplessly to achieve the optimal value. The frequency transformer is programmed to periodically change the propeller's direction of rotation, thereby cleaning it at the same time. The mixer has a downflow tube that improves the circulation of the entire basin. Waterix can help on choosing the correct frequency parameters for Waterix MIXIT mixers so that optimal circulation can be achieved. Chemicals can be mixed efficiently with the pipe. |
