Parkson’s MaximOS on-site water disinfection technology installed in Riverside, California

Parkson along with Superior Water Technologies in Irvine, California, has installed its MaximOS on-site water disinfection technology in Riverside, California.

This disinfection technology has replaced an ageing system that had become inefficient.

The city lies within the jurisdiction of the Western Municipal Water District, which has been affected by drought.

Western Municipal Water District operations supervisor Albert Magallon said: "Western Municipal has been utilising on-site generation since this phase of the plant was built.

"We understand the costs associated with operating and maintaining a system.

"After our review of on-site generation technologies, we felt that MaximOS offered unique and the most advanced design features, like the automatic self-cleaning electrolytic cell that would lower our O&M costs."

The advantages offered by MaximOS go beyond cost effectiveness, claimed Parkson.

MaximOS features a green technology which uses salt, water and electricity to disinfect water.

This disinfection solution can be produced and stored in low concentrated form.

Besides, MaximOS has a positive impact on Western Municipal’s operation and maintenance of on-site generation – for example, the equipment removes the need to purchase, transport and store dangerous chemicals , thereby reducing carbon emissions and fuel consumption.

This technology also cuts down operator interaction, and requires less floor space than regular systems. Further, MaximOS does not require a transformer.

MaximOS commercial leader John Deogracias said: "It took less than two weeks for Superior Water to change out the existing OSG system in Riverside and now that it’s operational, the district’s daily maintenance needs have reduced dramatically."

Parkson is a supplier of equipment and solutions for potable water, process water, and industrial and municipal wastewater applications.
