Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities
The water quality of reservoir and park pond is often degraded by water bloom due to eutrophication and photosynthesis. The system is a floating water-purifying device to suppress the proliferation of cyanobacteria by stirring water with screw propellers which are driven by PV power derived from sunshine, the prime cause for water pollution. The unit revolves around an anchoring point to cause wide-spread convection, thus disrupting anaerobic and thermal inversion layer in the bottom. In its place, warm water and oxygen are fed into the bottom to activate the natural purifying mechanism.

  • Energy saving
    Running cost of solar type is zero. Energy saving type requires only AC 100 V power supply for home use.

  • Efficient water stirring mechanism (screw propeller)
    For stirring a large volume of water, the screw propeller system is preferred to pumping type system.

  • Auto-running mechanism (circular movement of unit)
    The main unit revolves around an anchoring point driven by stirring with screw propeller. In spite of its small size, the unit can stir a large volume of water uniformly without leaving dead spots.

  • Easy installation (floating system)
    The floating unit can readily installed and displaced by a tug-boat, requiring no divers' work.

  • Lower cost, smaller size and simpler construction than conventional devices
    The cost is extensively reduced in comparison to the conventional systems.

  • Simple maintenance
    Owing to simple construction, failure occurs rarely and easy maintenance is ensured in contrast to the conventional systems. The floating construction spares costly checking by divers and can be fully maintained on the water.
