Stalwart Submersible Mixers Help Montana WWTP Make Big Energy Savings
When the small team at Daffy Hills Lane selected their new mixers as part of plant upgrade in 2004, they chose very wisely indeed – and not just because those same mixers are still dutifully working away today.
Purchased initially so that a 50-HP surface rotor aerator could be switched off during night-time hours of low BOD loading, the two 5-HP (3.7kW) submersible mixers (manufactured by Landia), have created energy-savings of $18,000 per year, meaning that the payback for the whole mixer installation was just less than four and a half years.
“The savings speak for themselves”, said Eric Miller, Superintendent at Chinook’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the far north of Montana, “but the benefits have been manyfold”.

Construction crews work on Drop 5 of the St. Mary Diversion and Conveyance Works in August.
One of the more remarkable stories of the year is that of the St. Mary Diversion and it s 22-week-long repair after experiencing a catastrophic failure back in May. Nearly all involved with the effort called it a remarkable example of teamwork and inter-organizational cooperation in a year plagued by social isolation. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Brenda Burman said this project is an example to the nation of what they can do when they work together.
