PROJECT NARRATIVE

After reviewing a proposed expansion to the South Bermuda Water Reclamation Facility, BioChem Technology, Inc. recommended that a BIOS be installed as part of the new process to provide control of the dissolved oxygen and internal recycle systems. The plant has realized the following benefits using the BIOS:

Greater plant stability
Improved nutrient removal
Lower energy usage
