EnBiorganic\u2019s EBS-Di system reduced COD by up to 50% in Canada\u2019s only zero liquid discharge pulp and paper industry facility.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp (MLMP)<\/span> runs the only pulp facility in Canada with zero liquid discharge. Rather than releasing its wastewater, the mill recycles enough water to fill 2.5 Olympic sized swimming pools every day. This positions the facility as a leader in water conservation in an industry facing demands to cut water usage and effluent output.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite its zero liquid discharge credentials, the mill struggled to maintain water quality during its reuse process. The water exhibited high chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels, green coloration, and persistent odors. These issues hindered the plant’s reuse process and compromised pulp quality \u2013 no one wants to write on green paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The MLMP team partnered with EnBiorganic and Isle\u2019s Trial Reservoir, seeking a solution to improve water quality and protect product integrity. Following unsuccessful attempts with traditional bioaugmentation, MLMP chose the EBS-Di treatment technology from EnBiorganic Technologies. The EBS-Di system generates and dispenses up to 720 liters of active state microbes adapted to wastewater. These proprietary, certified organic, common soil bacteria are both safe and effective for treating pulp and paper wastewater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The trial aimed to prove the system could reduce effluent chemical oxygen demand by at least 30% to <600 ppm. Two additional subjective objectives included reducing the water odor and the green water color for reuse in the production process.<\/span><\/p>\n The trial exceeded expectations, reducing chemical oxygen demand by 30% in 6 months and 50% in the last 6 weeks. This success led to a 3-year service agreement to continue using the system for water treatment and reuse.<\/span><\/p>\nBenef\u00edcios da abordagem\/inova\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/h5>\n
