clean drinking water to thousands of municipalities. Extensively CFD modeled, scale modeled and
field-validated, the TMS dramatically improves storage tank water quality by eliminating short
circuiting and achieving complete mixing. The TMS is a green technology, requiring no outside
energy source or maintenance, resulting in major cost savings over a minimum 30-year life.
Tideflex® Engineers work with you to custom design the optimum TMS for your tank or reservoir,
along with a mixing and water age analysis to ensure complete mixing based on volume turnover.

Keeping
the Florida
Everglades
Grease-Free
for 24 Years
T
he primary goal of the Everglades ecosystem restoration
project is to improve water quality and to restore the
Everglades to its original flow while still preventing
flooding of populated areas. The comprehensive system captures
and treats this water in surface and underground storage aquifers
where it is stored until needed.
As part of the project, Thordon
SXL grease-free pump bearings were
specified by Florida State Water
Management and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for all its existing
vertical pumps and for any new
pumps ordered for pumping stations
in South Florida.
The original pumps were
equipped with greased bronze
bearings, but the residual grease
and its environmental impact were
inconsistent with the environmental focus of the project. As a
result, all existing vertical pumps would be converted to wa-
ter-lubricated bearings.
The dry start-up capability of Thordon’s SXL material was an
important consideration in this application as some pumps run
infrequently. Another critical factor was the balance between a
low operating coefficient of friction and abrasion resistance
compared to other materials.
Since 1994, Thordon has delivered hundreds of SXL bearings.
Many pumps have had the same bearings since they were first
installed and others, despite remaining in the accepted tolerance
range, were replaced during routine service. WW
