Around the world, wastewater regulations are getting stricter. But meeting them isn’t always easy. Remote and rural municipalities lack the tax base to support needed upgrades and the higher operating costs that often accompany them. Attracting and retaining the staff to run complex systems can also be challenging. Meanwhile, urban areas often lack space to expand their facilities.

Bishop Water offers a simple solution. The Renfrew, Ontario company has developed the BioCord™ Reactor. These compact cubes provide an affordable, low-energy way to boost wastewater treatment capacity and nutrient-removal performance without expanding a facility’s footprint.

Today, BioCord™ Reactors are working their magic in communities across Canada — including the growing rural community of Limoges, Ontario, just east of Ottawa. Last fall, they added 60 units to their wastewater lagoons, more than doubling treatment capacity for less than half the cost of the next closest bidder — without expanding the lagoon’s footprint.
