Wastewater
Treatment
Efficient wastewater processes are
highly dependent on cultivating and maintaining a strong biological
community which will break down and consume waste. As most wastewater
plant managers and operators know, when the biological community
is disrupted by toxins, chemicals, undissolved solids, fats,
oils or greases, the breakdown does not take place as it should.
That means the wastewater process is no longer working to full
capability, if at all, and it means trouble and extra expense
in energy and clean-up.
Benefits, such as demineralization, elimination of hydrogen
sulfide and volatile fatty acid odours, increased reproduction
of facultative anaerobes, carbon oxidation, nitrification, denitrification,
dissolved oxygen, coagulation, flocculation, settleability,reduced
BOD5, COD, TSS, TKN, TP, TPH and sludge volume index may all
be found with beneficial bacteria biologicals or through efficient
mechanical technologies or both.
Acadian Aquatic Systems , along with our network of partners,
can provide scaleable solutions for commercial and municipal
clients from design to system implementation and product selection
and supply.

Municipal & Commercial Wastewater Treatment Formula
Dry powdered blend with a 5.2 billion cfu/gram
bacterial count. A cost effective bacterial additive for municipal
and wastewater treatment plants. The wastewater treatment formula
is a blend of naturally occurring organisms that attack the source
- waste - as it enters the municipality system, preventing solids/sludge
accumulation at pump stations, in sewer lines, and improving the
plant efficiency. Plants decrease malodorous environment with
improved BOD and efficient removal of solids.
APPLICATIONS : Wastewater
Treatment Plants Composting Facilities Leachates and Dumps
Food Processing Plants Winery Holding Tanks Lift Stations
Oxidation Ditches Activated Sludge Lagoons
Municipal wastewater plants face the constant challenge
of combating solids, sludge, malodors, organic buildup, and grease.
These can be defined as undesirable levels of BOD, H2S, TSS, FOG,
and poor DO stability. Municipalities face these challenges due
to older, outdated facilities, which are over the designed capacity,
along with a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial
waste streams. The quick fix attempt of using chemicals or manual
labor as wastewater treatment measures can be costly and inefficient.
Targeted Coumpounds : Phenols, Cellulose Material, Sludge Volume,
Hydrogen Sulfide Odors, Proteins, High BOD, Ammonia, Foaming,
Surfactants, Soaps, Starch, FOGs, BTEX, Chemicals

Custom Microbial
Products
Contaminated Site Remediation
These highly concentrated, microbial solutions are suitable
for all weights of petroleum hydrocarbons on sites including
hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons including solvents
and other volatile organic compounds (such as trichloroethane,
trichloroethene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes,
BTEX ) and fuels such as diesel or gasoline. Based on our
microbes' complex metabolic pathways they are thereby able
to degrade complex hydrocarbon chains.
Food Processing Operations
Customized products for the food industry are designed to
rapidly biodegrade unwanted wastewater components such as
fat, oil, BOD5 , COD, TSS, TDS, TKN and other related organics.
Lakes, Ponds and Lagoons
Concentrated products are designed to degrade organic materials
that collect in large bodies of water causing odours and
algae. They are also used to treat wastewater systems, animal
waste, septic tanks and seasonal/ portable toilets.
MICROBIAL LINE
These microbial products are highly concentrated, naturally
occuring marine micro-organisms that rapidly biodegrade
organic wastes and grease, turning them into harmless water
and carbon dioxide, and also control odour. Food processors
(meat, poultry, dairy, oil and grain) use Bluewater Environmental
Inc.'s microbial products to maintain efficient activity
in wastewater treatment systems and waste lagoons and to
control odour. At food service facilities and restaurants,
our microbial products control odours and prevent problems
in grease traps, pipes and drain lines.
The utilization of these facultative microbes for the treatment
of hydrocarbon components in Soil, Groundwater or Lagoons
will successfully degrade petroleum hydrocarbon contaminant
such as BTEX, PHC F1-F4, and chlorinated petroleum hydrocarbons
such as PCE, TCE, and DCE. Rapid degradation can take place
in both the microbial Anaerobic or Aerobic phases. These
microbial solutions have been, and are, providing successful
treatment in major Petroleum and Petrochemical Process Plants
in Canada.

Bioremediation is a technology that uses naturally occurring microorganisms
to degrade hazardous organic substances into less toxic or non-toxic
compounds such as carbon dioxide and water. The use of biological
processes for the treatment and/or remediation of wastes are established
methods for reducing the impact of both industrial and municipal
pollutants on the environment. In any biological process, from
septic systems to large-scale treatment plants, the fundamental
component is bacteria. As such, effective management of the existing
biological population is essential to the proper operation of
these systems.
Bioremediation can be divided into two categories: intrinsic and
augmented.
Intrinsic remediation relies on bacteria that are already present
in the soil to consume contaminants. This technique involves stimulating
bacteria to consume the target contaminants with an electron acceptor
- either oxygen, sulphate or nitrate - and a mix of nutrients
to support bacterial metabolism.
Augmented biorernediation or bioaugmentation utilizes a consortia
of bacteria that are selected for their ability to degrade specific
contaminants. The bacteria are introduced into the contaminated
area and their metabolism is supported with added nutrients and
electron acceptors.
Bioaugmentation provides a much faster clean-up than intrinsic
bioremediation. Adding large populations of proven hydrocarbon
degrading bacteria greatly accelerates the bioremediation process.
Conversely, intrinsic bioremediation req uires a substantial lag
period for the indigenous bacteria to buildup a population that
is capable of degrading contaminants to acceptable levels. This
degradation is accomplished through in-situ (in place) or ex-situ
(off site) bioremediation techniques.
In order to achieve accelerated or super-degradation of organic
compounds there must be at least 1,000,000 hydrocarbon-degrading
bacteria present per gram of contaminant. Once a site is pre-screened
and it's determined that our technology is suitable for that site,
it is a virtual guarantee of a quick and successful clean-up.
The following are some typical contaminants that can be treated:
APPLICATIONS:
Oil
Gasoline
PCBs
BTEX
Diesel
Paraffin
Asphaltenes
Pesticides
Herbicides
Fungicides
APPLICATIONS:
Landfills
Compost
Transfer Stations
Bins

Wastewater Lagoons
Meat Processing
SOLID
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Nuisance odours are a common problem in solid waste management.
Microbial bacteria eliminates odours by influencing the microbiology
of the decomposing waste in the substrate. The presence of microbes
with non-odourous by-products is increased while the presence
of microbes with odourous by-products is decreased. Microbial
propagated facultative bacteria aggressively continue the decomposition
process of organic matter while simultaneously eliminating the
odour producing mechanism. Microbial bacteria can be applied to
solid waste as a surface contact treatment or incorporated directly
into the odour causing substrate.

Aeration
Aeration supply for leachate ponds, stormwater
retention ponds, catch basins, compost basins, agricultural
and irrigation basins and ponds. We can supply turn-key systems
for aeration and deicing as well as a range of natural bacterial
blends to assist in achieving discharge parameters for oil
and gas, pulp and paper as well as composting and waste processing
facilities. Natural remedial beneficial bacteria for muck
reduction, BOD reduction, algae control, cyanobacteria control,
nutritent reduction, hydro-carbon clean-up and general basin
remediations. Experience with the mining and oil industry
as well as private companies such as composting companies,
opil and gas, and meat processing firms.
Wastewater aeration is a key componant in the industrial process
of stormwater, wastewater and leachate. Aeration systems are
custom designed and can use surface aerators or a myriad of
diffusers from tubes, disc, assemblies or pipes. Every application
is different and requires a unique approach to aerating.
There are also a number of different treatment products and
systems to deal with FOG (fat, oil and grease), hydro-carbons
and oil treatment and spills and food process waste. A number
of proprietary bacterial products are available in Canada
to safely restore and maintain wastewater basins. Ammonia
reduction and phosphorous reduction are common issues we deal
with.
Odors and algae can be dealt with using mechanical and biological
systems. In some basins, depending on influent and effluent
restrictions, an aeration or mixing process will suffice,
but increased efficiency can be gained by also using the proper
bacterial product, or enzyme or combination.
