Sionix Corp. reported on its Crown Maple-Madava Farms Maple Syrup Project in Dutchess County, New York. Sionix furnished a proprietary Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system and an Ultra-Violet treatment unit (UV) to Madava Farms under a lease agreement in 2012.

The objective of the test installation was to prove the benefits of adding Sionix technology to the Madava Farms' maple syrup process, already the most advanced maple syrup production facility in the country. Sionix personnel installed the equipment and worked closely with the Madava team from the beginning of the syruping season in February 2013, fine tuning operating parameters, performing extensive product and process analysis and training Madava personnel to operate and maintain the equipment. The Madava team operated the DAF and UV units, successfully treating maple sap until the end of the season in April 2013.
