What to do when your lagoon’s effluent TSS is higher than the influent TSS
ARTICLE What to do when your lagoon’s effluent TSS is higher than the influent TSS What’s happening in a wastewater lagoon when the TSS of the effluent is higher than the TSS of the influent? And more importantly, how does an operator fix it? Excess sludge accumulation is often the cause of high effluent TSS […]
Bishop Water joins Chedoke Creek cleanup
ARTICLE Bishop Water joins Chedoke Creek cleanup Bishop Water will be joining a team of environmental remediation specialists, that includes Milestone Environmental Contracting Inc. and ECO Technologies Ltd., to complete the targeted dredging of Chedoke Creek in Hamilton, Ontario. The project, scheduled to start late this summer, aims to remove over 10,000 cubic metres of […]
How to remove more phosphorus with less coagulant
ARTICLE How to remove more phosphorus with less coagulant How can a wastewater treatment plant improve phosphorus removal while reducing the amount of coagulant it’s using? The answer: switch to a coagulant that forms a strong, preferential bond with phosphorus. Here’s why that works. Conventional aluminum- or iron-based coagulants don’t form a strong bond with […]
ClariPhos® receives ECA for phosphorus removal, enabling pilot testing throughout Ontario
Bishop Water now has an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) for our ClariPhos® Rare Earth Coagulant, which means we can simplify the process to temporarily replace conventional coagulants and demonstrate the impressive phosphorus removal abilities of this product at wastewater plants throughout Ontario.
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 […]
ClariPhos® coagulant improves UV disinfection for Ontario WWTP
After switching to ClariPhos® Rare Earth Coagulant to evaluate its ability to improve phosphorus removal, operators at an Ontario WWTP noticed that UV disinfection also experienced a big boost. It turns out that better settling in the clarifier led to higher UV transmittance in the effluent, and a significant improvement in UV disinfection.
The advantages of low-energy, high-performance Geotube dewatering for biosolids management
Spinning, squeezing, solar drying, there are many ways to dewater sludge from treatment plants and produce stabilized biosolids that are ready for land application or disposal. Selecting the best approach often considers several factors, including the speed at which dewatering must be completed, the space that’s available at the treatment plant to accommodate the process, and capital and operating costs.
