Holding the line: How Geotube® shoreline protection is standing strong in Little Shemogue
Facing severe coastal erosion and storm damage, homeowners in Little Shemogue, New Brunswick became the first in the province to install a Geotube® Shoreline Protection system. The solution provides long-term erosion control, withstands extreme weather, and supports a more natural, accessible shoreline compared to traditional riprap.
When evaluating lagoon upgrades, choosing semi-passive treatment technology = active savings
Communities can significantly improve lagoon treatment capacity and cold-weather performance without expanding footprint or building complex mechanical plants. BioCord® Reactors provide a semi-passive, low-energy upgrade that enhances biological treatment, reduces capital costs, and allows existing staff to operate the lagoon with minimal change.
BioCord® Reactors demonstrate partial denitrification process and mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions
New research presented at the 2025 WEAO Technical Symposium highlights BioCord® Reactors’ ability to optimize partial denitrification (PDN) for nitrite accumulation while significantly reducing nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. By fine-tuning factors like carbon source and COD:N ratios, this study advances sustainable nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment.
BioCord’s phased installation balances wastewater treatment with community growth and budgets
Bishop Water’s innovative wastewater treatment solutions enable growing communities to manage increased demand sustainably, ensuring compliance and scalability with cost-effective, modular systems.

The cold reality of nitrification. Why aerating a lagoon may not improve winter ammonia removal
Installing or increasing aeration in a wastewater lagoon is a common strategy to improve nitrification and ammonia removal.
BioCord® Reactor installation underway in Gift Lake Metis Settlement
BioCord® Reactors are being installed in Northern Alberta, marking a significant milestone in a project to improve cold-weather performance for the lagoon system serving the Gift Lake Metis Settlement.
Future proofing your lagoon with BioCord Reactors
You’ve probably heard of future proofing for things like communication networks, buildings, and energy infrastructure, but what about wastewater treatment lagoons?
