ALEXANDRIA, VA, Sept. 22, 2010 -- BlueInGreen® will receive the prestigious Innovative Technology Award from the Water Environment Federation (WEF), an international not-for-profit technical and educational water quality organization. The award will be presented during a ceremony at the organization's 83rd annual technical exhibition and conference next month in New Orleans, La.
The Innovative Technology Awards, which includes the collection systems, instrumentation, process equipment, and solids handling & disposal categories, are presented annually to WEF associate members who have introduced new innovative products or services related to the construction, operation, or maintenance of treatment facilities.
BlueInGreen is being recognized in the process equipment category for its SDOX® system, a high efficiency dissolved oxygen delivery technology. BlueInGreen's Supersaturated Dissolved Oxygen (SDOX®) system maximizes the delivery of dissolved oxygen and minimizes the footprint of the oxygen delivery system. SDOX® systems are being used in applications where operating efficiency and space considerations are paramount. The SDOX® operates in a manner that is much different from traditional dissolved oxygen delivery methods. The oxygen gas is predissolved into a stream of water inside of a pressurized saturation tank to achieve supersaturated concentrations. The oxygenated water is then released from the saturation tank and mixed with the larger body of water being treated. Applications include municipal and industrial water and wastewater, as well as ecological restoration and bioremediation.
BlueInGreen will be honored during WEFTEC® 2010, the largest water quality event in North America and largest annual water quality exhibition in the world. Thousands of the world's leading water quality experts and 1,000 companies featuring the latest in water quality technology are expected at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center from October 3-6, 2010.
