Innovative Option for Reducing Sewer Surcharges

If it’s been difficult to justify the cost of pretreating your industrial wastewater, there is now a viable option for reducing sewer surcharge fees. Baswood’s BioViper™ is a cost effective alternative if your BOD loads are too low for anaerobic treatment, and aerobic treatment is too costly due to its high energy needs and solids production.

The BioViper™ is specifically designed to handle high-strength industrial waste streams, such as those from food & beverage processing, without the downsides of other types of aerobic and anaerobic treatment. A typical system requires only 1,500 ft2 of space and can process up to 100,000 gallons per day of wastewater. The highly efficient BioViper™ system requires minimal infrastructure, low operational energy demand, and operates virtually odor free, a critical benefit within confined facility limits.

Baswood’s patented technology ensures accelerated and more effective BOD reduction—up to 80% in beverage and dairy process waste without additional pretreatment processes. What makes this a significant advancement in wastewater treatment is the BioViper’s™ ability to rapidly respond to fluctuating waste loads, and do so without the use of costly chemicals. The system maintains effective performance while it adjusts to changing feed rates, loads, and waste streams.
