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.
Easily upgrade your industrial wastewater lagoon to achieve high-strength ammonia removal
Simple, fixed-film treatment system can give a significant boost to the microbial population in a lagoon to improve high strength ammonia removal.
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.
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.
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.
FCM funding can help with pilot testing of BioCord® Reactors and ClariPhos® rare earth coagulant
Pilot tests of these innovative technologies are eligible for grant funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) through its Municipal Green Fund.
Ammonia discharge limits are tightening up for Canadian mines. Be ready with a BioCord system
By June 1, 2021 metal and diamond mines in Canada will need to comply with a new lower discharge limit for unionized ammonia.
