Canadian ethanol plant’s wastewater treatment system gets 98% removal
In Canada, Miranda Water Technologies Inc. recently announced the successful completion of an industrial wastewater treatment pilot at Kawartha Ethanol’s facility in Havelock, Ontario. The project used Miranda’s MC200 Miracell® Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) system as part of Kawartha Ethanol’s broader waste-stream recovery initiative, achieving greater than 98% removal of targeted contaminants under the tested operating conditions. Based on these results, Kawartha Ethanol has agreed to purchase the MC200 Miracell® RBC system, together with additional Miranda treatment technologies designed to further enhance the overall treatment process.
The project marks Miranda’s first deployment of its Miracell® RBC technology in the North American specialized industrial wastewater market, expanding the application of the technology to high-strength biological treatment. The final solution will combine biological treatment with additional Miranda filtration and treatment technologies to address the specific characteristics of Kawartha Ethanol’s industrial waste stream.
