Reliant Water Technologies

What Reliant Water Technologies does

Reliant Water Technologies is a privately held New Orleans-based specialty manufacturer that designs, patents, and sells water and wastewater treatment equipment and consumables for municipal, industrial, agricultural, and aquaculture customers worldwide. The product portfolio consists of two interconnected categories: aeration and mixing systems (LAGOON MASTER subsurface sludge-activating aerator, LAGOON COMMANDER low-energy continuous mixer, and the WET WELL WIZARD collection system aeration tube for wet wells) plus biological and measurement adjuncts (Sewper Rx poly-microbial bio-augmentation blend, SCOUT sonar hydrographic profiling services, and Model 2100/20/SCM galvanic dissolved oxygen instrumentation). Underlying technology rests on airlift-driven subsurface water movement rather than conventional surface aeration, paired with periodic bio-augmentation dosing every 30-180 days rather than continuous chemical treatment.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time equipment sales (aerators, mixers, instrumentation), recurring bio-augmentation consumable revenue from Sewper Rx applications, and project-based profiling services. Distribution is exclusively direct sales via phone, email, and website contact forms with no disclosed resellers, channel partners, or distributors. Documented customer engagement includes municipal wastewater operators in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas; industrial sites including chicken rendering and hog farm lagoons; agricultural operations including a Northeast US racetrack; and international cases in Mexico. Founded circa 2014 (per company copyright) and operating with 1-10 employees, Reliant Water Technologies has positioned itself in the narrow sub-segment of low-energy lagoon and wet well treatment, where it claims up to 80% energy cost reduction and major sludge hauling savings relative to incumbent surface aeration and dredging approaches.

Core offering

Reliant Water Technologies manufactures and supplies proprietary aeration equipment, bio-augmentation blends, dissolved oxygen instrumentation, and sonar profiling services for municipal/industrial wastewater and private aquaculture markets. Its offering centers on patented, low-energy subsurface airlift aerators (LAGOON MASTER, LAGOON COMMANDER, WET WELL WIZARD, Model WQA), the patented Sewper Rx poly-microbial bio-augmentation blend for sludge and odor reduction, continuous DO monitoring systems (Model 2100/20 galvanic sensors with SCM cleaning), and the SCOUT hydrographic profiling service for measuring sludge volume in lagoons, ponds, and lakes.

Product overview

Reliant Water Technologies offers a portfolio of proprietary water and wastewater treatment products consisting of two main categories: (1) Aeration and Mixing Systems — including the LAGOON MASTER Sludge Activating Aerator for sludge elimination in lagoons/ponds, LAGOON COMMANDER for continuous low-energy mixing, and WET WELL WIZARD for odor and FOG elimination in collection systems; and (2) Instrumentation — including the Model 2100 Galvanic DO Analyzer, Model 20 Galvanic DO Sensor, and Model SCM Sensor Cleaning Module for continuous dissolved oxygen monitoring and control. These are complemented by the SCOUT Hydro Profiling System for sonar-based lagoon mapping and Sewper Rx, a patented bio-augmentation blend for sludge reduction. The products are designed to work independently or in combination, providing returns on investment through reductions in energy, maintenance, and sludge hauling costs.

Products and services

• WET WELL WIZARD Collection System Aeration Patent-pending aeration tube placed in wet wells that aggressively agitates and mixes water with forced air, activating aerobic microbes that digest organic wastes, eliminate H2S formation, and emulsify FOG as a pre-treatment before water reaches the wastewater treatment plant. Targets municipal and industrial wet well operators.
• LAGOON MASTER Sludge Activating Aerator Patented subsurface aerator that uses a coarse-bubble airlift to continuously roll water along the lagoon bottom, activating sludge for complete biological digestion. Includes fine-bubble diffusers for dissolved oxygen addition and is sold in V1 (shore-anchored) and V2 (blowers on shore) configurations; consumes only 4 HP total per unit covering 1–5 acres. Designed for municipal/industrial wastewater lagoons and aquaculture ponds.
• LAGOON COMMANDER Continuous Mixer Low-energy continuous mixing system for ponds and lagoons built around a 1–3 HP regenerative blower with patented coarse-bubble airlift and baffling, designed to move the entire water column below the surface across approximately 17 acre-feet of water for bodies under 20 feet deep. Sold to operators needing continuous mixing without added dissolved oxygen.
• Sewper Rx Bio-Augmentation Blend Patented poly-microbial blend of enteric bacteria designed to reduce or eliminate organic solids, sludge, and odors in wastewater treatment systems. Applied on a recurring schedule (typically once every 30 to 180 days depending on plant flow and goals) to break down BOD, TSS, ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus, with proven effectiveness in bringing lagoons back into compliance. Sold as a repeat-purchase treatment product to municipal wastewater plants and industrial lagoons.
• SCOUT Hydro Profiling System Sonar-based hydrographic survey system providing detailed contour profiling of lagoons, ponds, and lakes with color-enhanced depth delineation. Measures sludge volume and free water volume at multiple points, uses GPS and GLONASS for exact positioning, supports 3-D views, and delivers a color-enhanced profile within days of an onsite survey. Sold as a service/equipment bundle to operators quantifying sludge accumulation in wastewater and aquaculture water bodies.
• Model 2100 Galvanic DO Analyzer Continuous dissolved oxygen monitoring and control analyzer built around a rugged galvanic DO sensor, with a backlit display, 72-hour trending, digital and analog outputs, two control relays, and communication capabilities to integrate with data collection systems. Marketed as lower-maintenance than competitive sensors and resistant to poisoning by hydrogen sulfide in wastewater and aquaculture applications.
• Model 20 Galvanic DO Sensor Galvanic dissolved oxygen sensor with a pure platinum cathode that is incapable of being poisoned by hydrogen sulfide, making it suitable for continuous de-nitrification monitoring and aggressive pure liquid oxygen injection systems. Uses Teflon membranes that last over a year, lowering maintenance in harsh wastewater and aquaculture environments.
• Model SCM Sensor Cleaning Module Automatic sensor cleaning control module that maintains accuracy of DO sensors used in UNOX and MBR wastewater applications, enabling maintenance-free continuous monitoring in harsh environments.
