University of Montreal

   In collaboration with ECO process & equipment inc., Ecole Polytechnique of the University of Montreal has been working for many years in developing several new biological processes to meet new challenges, particulary in the field of biological phosphorus removal from municipal and industrial effluents.

Ecole Polytechnique has primarily collaborated on the following projects:

• Biological phosphorus removal from a food industry effluent (cheese factory). This process, Bio-P-Sequencer^TM, utilizes two SBRs in series.
• Biological phosphorus removal within the OxiSequencer^TM process.This process has been developed particularly for small wastewater flows (5-500 m³/D).
• Reduction of pollutants from highly concentrated industrial effluents using very compact Sequenced BioTowers^TM packed with innovative fixed media.
• Homologation testing of the capacity of air diffusers in accordance with ASCE (1993) methodology.

Having worked closely on these projects with ECO PROCESS & EQUIPMENT inc., we would not hesitate to recommend t his enterprise for its resources as a reliable biological process designer, a competent equipment manufacturer and a skilled technology developer.

As a visiting professor from Mc Gill University I have been working on several research and development projects in the field of hydraulics related to new equipment and biological processes under development in ECO's laboratory. The major projects involved were:

• Development of Uniform Influent Distribution (UID™), capable of providing uniform distribution of wastewater at the bottom of a reactor within 10% tolerance while discharging at negligible velocities and headloss... so that the flow distribution does not disturb the settled biological solids covering the UID™ system.
• Development of a Dynamic Sequencing Batch Reactor system with much higher treatment and hydraulic capacities  than the conventional SBR system on the market today... using the Uniform Influent Distributor (UID™) technology developed previously.
• Development of more performing jet aeration system based on wetted material such as stainless steel.

My working experience with ECO has been very positive and was focussed on developing final products and technologies to improve the existing status of the environment market. ECO PROCESS & EQUIPMENT inc. enthusiastically and comprehensively collaborated with the high level of scientific rigor and practice developmental methodology required to ensure reliable and valuable new products and technologies could be commercialized in near future.

I would not hesitate to recommend ECO PROCESS & EQUIPMENT inc. for their services and products to design and manufacture modern SBR equipment and processes.
