Geotube® dewatering units 4000 feet underground at northern mining operation
Case study on the effectiveness of the Geotube® technology for dewatering the waste stream at a northern ontario mining opteration.
Township of North Glengarry chooses Geotube® technology for lagoon clean-out
The township of North Glengarry operates a four-lagoon cell system in the Village of Alexandria, Ontario for the management of sewage sludge. Many municipalities utilize lagoon systems across Ontario to manage sewage, however lagoons require maintenance and periodic sludge removal in order to operate effectively and efficiently on an ongoing basis.
City of Vaughan – Geotube® technology For storm pond cleaning
The City of Vaughan required sediment removal of three separate storm water management ponds. The city wanted to have a minimal impact on the surrounded communities and watercourses.
What’s that smell? Diagnosing springtime lagoon odours.
non-aerated lagoons, can experience benthal feedback—a process where the turbulence of the warming water stirs up the sludge blanket and releases hydrogen sulfide gas along with nutrients that have accumulated in the settled sludge.
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 […]

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 […]
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.
Operators traded wheelbarrows for Bishop Solids Management solution to reduce time and labour in sludge handling
It used to take almost a month to dewater the same volume of sludge that is now done in less than a day at the Meteghan Sewer Treatment Plant (STP) in the Municipality of Clare, Nova Scotia.
How a polymer dosing system can make or break your sludge dewatering process.
Polymer is the secret ingredient for maximizing dewatering and achieving high quality filtrate from the Geotube® containers in our Bishop Solids Management Solution. But selecting the right polymer is not enough to get the best results.
