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?
The journey to select, design and install a BioCord condominium for bacteria in a far north lagoon
Every wastewater plant can experience washout—a condition where high hydraulic loading causes microorganisms to be flushed out of a treatment cell at a faster rate than they can be replenished.
Is your lagoon suffering from washout?
Every wastewater plant can experience washout—a condition where high hydraulic loading causes microorganisms to be flushed out of a treatment cell at a faster rate than they can be replenished.
Innovative, low-energy treatment to remove contaminants from process wastewater and ML/ARD
Case studies as presented at the 2022 Tailings and Mine Waste Conference.
Robust cold-weather performance and lower cost make BioCord™ ideal choice for lagoon upgrade in Northern Alberta
Bishop BioCord™ Reactors have been chosen for a unique demonstration project to improve cold-weather biological treatment and effluent quality of the wastewater lagoons serving the Gift Lake Metis Settlement in Northern Alberta.
Crafting a simple, affordable system to treat brewery wastewater and avoid sewer surcharges
TECHNICAL PAPER Sewer surcharges can significantly impact the bottom line for breweries and other food and beverage processors. Adding an onsite wastewater treatment plant is one way to reduce sewer surcharges, but many options are costly, complex, and require a significant amount of space, which can make it tough to decide whether to install a […]
BioCord™ pilot system demonstrates MDMER ammonia compliance for Canadian gold mine
Low-energy, fixed-film BioCord system could improve ammonia removal for the onsite wastewater lagoon system and help the mine maintain compliance with the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulation (MDMER).
BioCord Reactors achieve 99% ammonia removal using far less energy than MBBR
R&D efforts for BioCord™ Reactors focus significantly on optimizing its fine-bubble aeration system and low-energy compressors to provide the best possible oxygen transfer and ammonia removal rates, while using less energy than MBBR.
