Biowater’s wastewater treatment system upgrades lagoon to exceed permit limits in ¼ of the space
New stricter ammonia limits and cold weather nitrification are two of the many issues that hinder a lagoon based wastewater treatment system. In an area where the seasonal temperatures are low it is impossible to nitrify in the lagoons. Biowater’s system handles both of these issues with ease and is less expensive than other retrofit solutions - <$1 per gallon to treat wastewater. A ...

Source water key to bacterial water safety in remote Northern Australia
In the wet-dry topics of Australia, drinking water in remote communities is often sourced from groundwater bores. The geochemistry of that groundwater impacts the occurrence of opportunistic pathogens in the drinking water supply, researchers now report in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases. Many aquifers in the tropics of Northern Australia are shallow and contain naturally high levels of iron, ...

Ozone vs. Chlorine for water disinfection
Ozone and chlorine have very similar disinfectant properties. However, their uses today differ due to the environmental consciousness of our society. For several reasons, Ozone systems are still uncommon in much of the world. On the other hand, chlorine continues to be used disinfectant in every region of the world. As ozone is more reliable, easier to use, and safer to operate, it has gained ...

Ultrasonic impact on algae and other Aquatic Life Forms
A Technical Explanation The Hydro BioScience® Quattro-DB® and Mezzo-DB™ devices emit ultrasonic frequencies (i.e. above human hearing capability) that cause simply constructed forms of algae to vibrate at their natural frequency. Matching that frequency causes critical structural resonance to occur, much like playing the natural frequency of a crystal glass back to the glass that ...

Why Improve The Water Quality In District Heating Systems?
Demineralization and deaeration of district heating makeup water have for many years been a privilege for only a few major district heating companies. Lately, it has become possible for smaller and middle-sized district heating companies to benefit from new technologies to produce salt and oxygen-free district heating water. Why Is It Important To Remove Salts And Oxygen In District Heating ...
