WSSC wanted to extend the life of its Circular Reservoir in wheaton, MD. They wanted to keep the stored water completely mixed with the incoming water. The solution was the Tideflex(r) Mixing System (TMS) designed by measurIT technologies.

Case Study: Mixing System eliminates short circuiting in Circular Reservoir
Wheaton, Maryland, USA
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission recognized
that it was time to rehabilitate its reservoir in Wheaton, MD. The condition of the 72.5m diameter, 56 800m3 ground level circular tank was analyzed. It was determined that reconditioning and recoating the tank could indefinitely extend the life of the 50-year-old tank.
the common inlet/outlet by attaching a 900mm
vertical inlet manifold to the inlet pipe with a tee connection. The vertical inlet pipe extended approximately 9m high in the 14m high tank. Two 600mm Tideflex® inlet valves were positioned at 4.5m and a third 600mm Tideflex® valve was position at about 9m. This combination of valve orientation and valve size will greatly improve the jet velocity of the incoming water and reduce dead zones. This increased velocity facilitates the At the time the proposal was being made, WSSC decided mixing of the incoming water and stored water. The that to enhance their water quality they needed to keep the Tideflex® inlet valve opens with incoming water; stored water completely mixed with the incoming water. This backpressure from the stored water closes it. eliminates short-circuiting that causes stagnant water and water quality deterioration. From the tee connection, a 65m steel pipe was placed across the floor to the opposite side of the The method selected to maintain water quality and reduce tank to accommodate the outlet valves, which are stagnation was the Tideflex® Mixing System (TMS) designed two 900mm Waterflex check valves. The Waterflex® by Tideflex® Technologies Inc. Check Valve uses an elastomer membrane that seats against a perforated plate. During the draw cycle, As in most tanks, there is a common inlet/outlet pipe to fill the membrane folds away from the disk to allow and draw water from the tank. The inherent problem with this water to flow into the distribution system. common inlet/outlet pipe is short-circuiting, whereby the last water that entered the tank is the first water to be drawn from read more at www.measurIT.com the tank. This results in areas of the tank having significant water age and potential for disinfectant depletion.
In the Wheaton Reservoir, there is a 750mm diameter
common inlet/outlet through the tank floor. The system, designed by Tideflex® Technologies’ engineers, separated
