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.
Assessment Of N2O Emissions In A Partial Denitrification Process Using Rope-Type Biofilm Media
As the wastewater industry intensifies its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, understanding nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) generation in emerging treatment technologies is critical. This study investigates Nâ‚‚O emissions in a partial denitrification (PDN) process using rope-type fixed-film biofilm media (BioCordâ„¢ Reactors) developed by Bishop Water.
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.
Improving year-round nutrient removal to extend the life of a wastewater lagoon
A municipal wastewater lagoon faced ongoing challenges with nutrient removal, leading to potential regulatory risks and high maintenance demands. This case study details how BioCord’s fixed-film reactors were installed to improve nitrogen and phosphorus reduction, ultimately enhancing the lagoon’s operational efficiency and compliance.
