Business Wire
Basin Water, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWTR) unveiled its newly acquired line of
Envirogen environmental treatment products at WEFTEC 2008. In the
area of water treatment, Envirogen products include fluidized-bed
bioreactors, membrane bioreactors and suspended carrier reactor
systems. For odor and VOC control applications, Envirogen products
include modular and built-in-place systems for a wide range of air
flow rates, as well as its BioTower bioscrubber technology for
small-footprint applications. Common features of Envirogen products
are the low lifecyle costs these systems provide as well as
predictable, reliable environmental performance. With over 200
installations in municipal and industrial wastewater, groundwater
remediation and odor control/VOC air applications across the United
States today, Envirogen products have a track record of proven
performance. These systems will be backed by Basin Water�s
technology+services business model that combines proprietary or
specialized technologies with long-term relationships built through
performance-based service agreements to deliver worry-free
environmental solutions with lowest lifecycle costs. According to
Mike Stark, President & CEO of Basin Water, Envirogen products
are an ideal addition to a Basin Water technology portfolio that
focuses on lowest lifecycle cost solutions in environmental
applications. �By their very nature, biological treatment systems
have the potential to offer the lowest cost treatment alternatives
in the applications they serve. What is unique about the Envirogen
line � and the team that has developed and implemented these
solutions over the past fifteen years � is the ability to handle
small to very large volumes of either water or air, and to target
high concentration, difficult to remove contaminants, leading to a
high quality effluent,� he said. �At Basin Water, we feel that,
combined with our technology+services approach to solutions
development, these systems provide a new opportunity for industry,
municipalities and the consulting engineer to improve environmental
performance at the lowest cost possible,� he added. Biological
Water Treatment Envirogen bioreactor systems are designed to handle
a broad range of contaminants, flow rates and contaminant
concentrations. On the high-flow end of the spectrum, Envirogen
fluidized-bed bioreactors feature a fixed-film reactor column that
fosters the growth of microorganisms on a hydraulically fluidized
bed of media. The fluidized media can provide a biomass inventory
of up to 15,000 mg/L � allowing the treatment of high flow rates
and relatively high contaminant loadings. Using different reactor
designs, media and contact times Envirogen treatment systems can be
specified to deliver cost-effective, high-quality effluent across a
wide range of organic compounds and hydraulic loads, with a small
footprint and a minimal generation of biosludge. Primary
applications for this technology have been groundwater remediation
and nitrate removal in wastewater treatment from industry, but we
are entering a time when contaminant removal to produce drinking
water, municipal wastewater nutrient load reduction (nitrate
removal) and the potential to treat oil & gas production waters
present new opportunities for putting the technology to work.
Envirogen membrane bioreactor systems combine the benefits of a
suspended growth reactor with the solids separation capability of
an ultra - or microfilter membrane unit. The membrane bioreactor
systems are particularly well-suited to wastewater or groundwater
streams with difficult to treat organics, high contaminant
concentrations, highly variable influent compositions or for sites
where system footprint is a concern. Envirogen membrane bioreactor
applications today include batch chemical plant effluents, landfill
leachate, chlorinated solvents in manufacturing wastewaters,
publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) with space restrictions,
phosphorous control, and wastewater from pharmaceutical
intermediate manufacture and the food and beverage industries. All
of these applications take advantage of the fast system startup,
limited operator requirements and low lifecycle costs of
Envirogen�s membrane bioreactor technology. Envirogen suspended
carrier reactor systems are integrated, fixed-film moving bed
activated sludge biological systems for the treatment of municipal
and industrial wastewaters. These systems are particularly well
suited for retrofit applications in activated sludge biotreatment
installations that are operating at or exceeding design capacity.
These systems offer the benefits of low capital, installation, and
operating costs and can increase system capacity by as much as
100%, while at the same time, improving removal of contaminants
such as nitrogen. They have a �net zero� effect on labor and plant
real estate requirements. Cost-effective Odor and VOC Control Basin
Water�s Envirogen biofilters use naturally occurring microorganisms
to treat air containing odorous substances such as reduced sulfur
compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Microorganisms
reside on the surface of the biofilter media and only require
irrigation water and small quantities of nutrient (for some
applications). Microorganisms consume the odorous contaminants for
energy and, in the process, cleanse the air - providing
cost-effective odor and VOC control. Envirogen odor and VOC control
systems include modular package biofilters (P-Series and H-Series)
for small air flow rate applications, built-in-place (BIP)
biofilter systems for larger airflow rate applications and BioTower
bioscrubbers for space-limited applications. Envirogen odor and VOC
control systems offer long media life and low power consumption -
meaning low lifecycle costs for an installation. Media types are
matched to the treatment challenge and can include inorganic
mineral-based media, foam-based media and an organic media composed
of aged bark product. The systems are built from modular,
standardized components that can be pre-assembled or quickly
installed in place. One of the major advantages of biofiltration in
odor and VOC control applications is the fact that chemical storage
is not required � minimizing exposure to the public and employees.
According to Dave Enegess, Basin Water�s Vice President for
Envirogen Products, the time has come for the Envirogen line of
environmental treatment products to step into the limelight. �These
biological systems deliver outstanding treatment performance in a
very cost-effective manner � by harnessing a natural process. Our
systems have a proven track record of performance in a number of
very difficult installations. And we think these are the types of
solutions that municipalities and manufacturing facilities are
looking for right now. We�re looking forward to taking this
technology to market in combination with the strong management team
and the element of service provided by Basin Water,� he added.
