MassDEP Approves Tidal Wave Water Mixer for Use in Massachusetts Drinking Water Tanks
We’re excited to announce that the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Drinking Water Program has officially approved the Big Wave Tidal Wave Water Mixer as a new technology for use in drinking water storage tanks across the state.
This approval presents a valuable opportunity for our Massachusetts clients seeking a cost-effective and highly efficient water mixing solution. Unlike conventional mixers, the Tidal Wave's active mixing technology rapidly breaks up stagnant water layers and eliminates issues like thermal stratification, residual stratification, and thermocline formation. It works by circulating cooler water from the bottom of the tank, helping to maintain consistent water temperature and stable chlorine or chloramine residuals.
CorrTech is the certified installer for Big Wave mixers, blowers, and chloramine boosting systems.

PRESS RELEASE: August 11, 2021
CorrTech Awarded Contract for Nautilus Pier, Groton, CT
CorrTech has been awarded a contract to design/build a cathodic protection system to protect the Nautilus Pier in Groton, CT. The Pier is home to the Nautilus Submarine, SSN-571.
The USS Nautilus was the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine and the first vessel to transit the North Pole. The Nautilus was decommissioned in 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982. The submarine is preserved at the US Navy Submarine Force Museum in Groton, CT, where visitors can tour the historic ship.
The cathodic protection system to be designed and built by CorrTech will protect the Nautilus Pier and sheet pile wall from corrosion by the use of sacrificial anodes. The cathodic protection system works in the marine environment to protect the steel from the effects of salt water corrosion.
CorrTech will be working under the Asturian Group to perform this work under its Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) with the Naval Submarine Base, New London-Groton, CT. The design work is underway, with construction scheduled to begin in November 2021
CorrTech is proud to partner with Asturian Group to help preserve this significant historic naval asset.
Visit Corrtech at MEGARUST 2021
MegaRust (Spetember 21-23, 2021) is conducted annually to provide a consolidated focus on Navy corrosion issues.
