Making award-winning sewage solutions even better
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Bishop Water is advancing its award-winning BioCord Reactor technology, aiming to further optimize wastewater treatment efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Bishop Water’s BioCord Reactor does an impressive job removing nutrients from wastewater. Each 2m x 2m x 2m unit is packed with media that creates lots of surface area for bacterial biofilms to grow on. Because bacteria are the real work horses of sewage treatment, [...]
Ontario’s Water Nexus: Bridging Academia, Enterprise, and Municipalities
Canada’s water utility sector came alive from November 12-15, as leaders from academia, enterprise, and municipalities converged at the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association's National Water and Wastewater Conference. This event, hosted at the Sheraton Fallsview in Niagara Falls, Ontario, aimed to bridge the gap between these three essential pillars in the pursuit of innovative solutions for water-related challenges. The conference provided a platform for dynamic discussions, inspiring stories of partnership, and a collective vision for the future of water [...]
Unlocking the powerful potential of sewers
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, USP Technologies Canada is refining their innovative "physical twin" model for sewer networks, aiming to optimize wastewater treatment processes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Beneath city streets run hundreds of kilometres of sewers. It’s easy to think of them simply as pipes, moving sewage from source to treatment plant. But there’s lots of activity that occurs along the way, thanks to bacteria in the biofilm that naturally develops along [...]
