CSO Technik appointed distributors for the Biocube biofilter range.
Following the acquisition of Biocube by Biorem Technologies of Canada in July 2005, CSO Technik has been appointed as UK distributors of the system.
The Biocube system, the result of a $2 million Investment programme, is a unique highly efficient modular biofilter system for smaller airflows and therefore broadens the range of Biofilter solutions available from Biorem and CSO Technik.
Biocube, from their base in Victor NY, USA, have installed over 300 systems worldwide.
The Biocube system is suitable for airflow ranges between 20 – 17,000m3/hr and offers removal rates for Hydrogen Sulphide greater than 99% for average concentrations up to 600ppm and occasional spikes of 1000ppm.
The patented media is compost based combining nutrients, adsorbents and PH inhibitors for effective removal and long life span of 3-5 years.
The Biocube system consists of a series of modular 360mm deep trays manufactured from HDPE with 316 stainless steel fittings. The design of the trays allows them to be stacked vertically ensuring a small footprint and eliminates media compaction. Each tray has inbuilt air plenums to ensure even distribution of the polluted airflow and has a polyurethane inner core to maintain the optimum temperature for odour removal efficiency whatever the external temperature.
The system has minimal maintenance requirements of less than 8 hours per annum.
“The addition of the ‘Biocube’ product will further enhance the wide range of odour control technologies available from CSO Technik and strengthen our position as a key solutions provider,” says Colin Froud, CEO, CSO Technik Ltd.
The first Terminodour odour abatement system for the Middle East has been ordered for a Ministry of Works contract in Bahrain in the Persian Gulf.
CSO's contract is for the supply and commissioning of a Terminodour ionisation system to treat the odours from a new pumping station in ISA town.
CSO Technik have partnered with PMG Technical Services to provide a complete range of odour abatement systems.
The range of odour solutions now offered encompasses both dry and wet scrubbing technologies for a wide range of applications within the wastewater sector and general industry.
Vacflush system selected for Toledo, Ohio.
CSO have recently been awarded the contract to supply a 6 lane Vacflush system for the River Road SSO elimination project in Toledo Ohio, USA. The Storm water storage tank is 223ft (68m) Long x 120ft (37m) wide. The no man entry benefits of the Vacflush system are becoming widely accepted in the US with numerous projects in various stages of completion.
Canadian first for Vacflush storm tank cleaning system.
The Greater Vancouver Regional District opted for CSO's Vacflush system to clean its new 43M (141ft) diameter storm tank and a 1.5m (5ft) sewer trench in Cloverdale, BC. This is CSO Technik's first Vacflush contract in Canada. The equipment is already on site and installation is planned for completion prior to the end of 2005.
European Patent awarded for Pump Action Screen (PAS).
CSO Technik CEO Colin Froud conceived the PAS and over 50 screens are now in service in the wastewater industry. The PAS is a mechanical CSO screen with no moving parts other than a submersible pump making it extremely cost effective and user friendly. CSO Technik partner Biogest AG of Germany, who assisted in the product development, manufactures and distributes the screen in mainland Europe and CSO Technik look after the UK and the rest of the world.
