Technology
Corix Water Systems' range of packaged water treatment plants are custom designed to meet each particular raw water type and flow requirements. We use the most appropriate technology to provide a reliable, cost effective solution. This requires striking the right balance between treated water quality, reliability, ease of operation, capital and operating costs. Other factors such as public resistance to chemical addition and site restrictions may also influence the final design.

Design
Corix Water Sysems' multi-disciplinary engineers are experts in chemical and mechanical processes, automated computer control systems and manufacturing. Corix Water Sysems' wide range of process options and on-site pilot testing capabilities, ensures the right process is used to provide clean, safe drinking or process water. Our plants are custom designed to meet the particular challenges of each application and satisfy the pathogen removal credits granted by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Canadian Federal Regulations.
