하와이에 위치한 물 재활용 시설이 최근 Parkson사의 MaximOS™  sodium hypochlorite 기술을 현장 살균 시스템에 적용함으로서 즉각적인 운영 비용 절감과 높은 수질 유지를 달성하였다고 전해졌다.

업그레이드는 Parkson사의 물 재활용 시설 기관장과 오아후(Oahu) 지방 관리들이 맺은 민간-공공(PPP) 형태의 파트너십의 결과로 볼 수 있다.

기관장들은 MaximOS를 현재의 sodium hypochlorite system을 대체하는 기술로 선정하였고 그 이면에는 섬 안에서 점점 비싸지는 화학물 가격과 그에 따른 차후 비용 절감이 고려된 것으로 전해졌다.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, July 9, 2013 -- A water recycling facility in Hawaii has been upgraded with Parkson Corp's MaximOS™ sodium hypochlorite on-site generation disinfection system that will deliver immediate savings in operating costs while maintaining the highest water quality standards.  

The upgrade is a result of Parkson's partnership with the water recycling facility operator as part of a public-private partnership (PPP) with local authorities on the island of Oahu. 

Operators chose MaximOS to replace a sodium hypochlorite system, which incurred a substantial cost burden because of the high price of chemicals on the island. By transitioning to the Parkson system which relies on common salt, the facility will realize substantial operational savings for years to come. 

"The three largest expenses for any plant are labor, power and chemicals," said John Deogracias, Commercial Leader for MaximOS. "The technology behind MaximOS is state of the art and allows for the most reliable and efficient means to support  the water recycling facility operator's O&M budget." 

The upgrade includes four MaximOS sodium hypochlorite on-site generation units that utilize self-cleaning electrolytic cells to ensure proactive maintenance. In this configuration, the unit delivers longer lifecycles and ease of operations, in part because it does not require acid-washing during normal maintenance. The latest generation of MaximOS models places a premium on self-sufficiency, to minimize the amount of labor needed for operations and care. 

The water recycling facility is an award-winning site that serves a critical function on the island, by helping to preserve the state's valuable drinking water supplies. The 13 million gallons/day facility relies on MaximOS and other technologies to facilitate irrigation by the municipal government and supply process water for a power plant and oil refinery. 

"Water recycling is becoming more and more important for many communities, to ease the burden on drinking water supplies," said Randy Otts, Product Manager for MaximOS. "As technologies like MaximOS become more efficient and cost-effective to operate, we can bring the benefits of recycled water to more people."
