Ohio EPA selects ClariPhos; for evaluation in algal bloom reduction program
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected ClariPhos® rare earth coagulant for evaluation by its H2Ohio Technology Assessment Program (TAP), a state initiative to address harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Lake Erie.
Quality and quantity: How a BioCord frame delivers strength and value
Each metre of once-wispy BioCord can weigh as much as four kilograms when it’s fully populated with aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.
Bishop Solids Management Solution — Dewatering for all occasions
We’ve dewatered a lot of stuff over the years.
Everything from ordinary wastewater sludge and excess soil from construction sites, to noxious slurries containing really smelly organics, industrial process wastewater, and even low-level radioactive materials.
Find out how much you can save by switching to ClariPhos for phosphorus removal.
Treatment plants that are using rare earth coagulant report sludge reductions of up to 50%.
It’s curtains for BioCord!
Another install option for BioCord is the curtain design that enables BioCord to be installed in concrete or steel process tanks to enhance a conventional activated sludge process.
ClariPhos®: A less acidic coagulant that improves phosphorus removal and operator safety
ClariPhos® Rare Earth Coagulant can dramatically reduce or even eliminate pH swings caused by chemical phosphorus precipitation and help improve operator safety at the same time.
How to eliminate sewer surcharges with a simple, low-energy system
Pre-treatment of high-strength wastewater before discharging it to a municipal sewer can be challenging, especially if high levels of BOD, TSS and ammonia are present.
Potato processor treats and reuses wash water with simple, affordable dewatering system
High-TSS wash water can cause storage ponds to fill quickly with sediment and increases the risk of overflow. Learn how an Ontario-based grower used the Bishop Solids Management Solution to create a simple system that collects and consolidates solids while producing low-TSS filtrate that can be reused in the washing process.
Simplifying Arsenic Sludge Management At A Gold Mine
Arsenic-laden groundwater continually infiltrates the shafts of a gold mine in Western Canada. As it’s pumped out, an onsite treatment system removes the arsenic to produce effluent that can be safely released. But the system also produces large volumes of sludge—about 1,900 litres every 45 minutes. The sludge was a challenge for the site’s existing media filtration system and a faster, more reliable and more cost-effective solution was needed. Learn how the Bishop Solids Management Solution provided a simple, low-energy solution that achieves dewatering, filtration and containment in a single step.
Lagoon sludge removal provides affordable solution for algae and H2S issues
Sludge accumulation was thought to be causing significant operational challenges for the O’Leary Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The lagoons were experiencing serious blooms of blue-green algae during the summer months and exceedances of TSS, BOD and coliform bacteria in treated effluent. Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas, which was also attributed to the algae and sludge, was building up in a below-grade chamber that housed the plant’s UV disinfection system. Read the full case study to learn how our Bishop Solids Management Solution and Lagoon Cleanout Services helped solve the problem.
