Who is Sionix?

Sionix Corporation is located in Irvine, California. Sionix is a developer and manufacturer of water purification systems for drinking and wastewater applications in both the public and private sectors.

Sionix uses the time tested DAF [Dissolved Air Technology] technology which can remove up to 99.95% of the suspended particles in water and provides an effective bacterial barrier. Disinfection byproducts such as Trihalomethanes (THM’s) are eliminated though Sionix’ ultra-violet disinfection technology.

Sources of Water Suitable for a Sionix System

1. Surface water with large amounts of low density particles such as: Algae, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Fecal Coliform bacteria and phytoplankton.

2. Surficial groundwater under the influence of surface water.

3. Pretreated waste and mine waters

4. Industrial and Agricultural waters with additional treatment depending on specific dissolved components. Dissolved contaminants in many instances may be adsorbed and/or absorbed into the coagulation / flocculation media then removed from the waste stream.

Flow Rates for a Sionix Treatment System

The Sionix Elixir System will produce a minimum of 225 gallons of fresh potable water per minute which is 324,000 gallons per day or just under one acre-foot of fresh water. With current numbers from the MPCA for residential water use, one Sionix unit can serve between 2600 (100gpd) residents or about 500 to 600 homes and the community infrastructure.
