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.

Geotube® shoreline system protects historic New Jersey lighthouse
Over the past several decades, the shoreline around the East Point Lighthouse has receded continually, posing a major threat to the more-than-170-year-old landmark.
Are you ready for a better coagulant for phosphorus removal?
New ClariPhos® rare-earth coagulant is a proven solution to hit phosphorus levels as low as 0.07 mg/L in treated effluent and reduce sludge production by as much as 50% in the process.
