GUELPH, ON, Dec. 14, 2020 /CNW/ – BIOREM Inc. (TSXV: BRM)
("Biorem" or "the Company") today announced a research project in
collaboration with the City of New
York to examine the efficacy of BIOREM's enhanced biological
processes for the mitigation of odours and hazardous air pollutants
from various wastewater treatment facilities under their operation.
A key component of the research and demonstration project will be
to look at the effectiveness of BIOREM's systems to reduce or
eliminate the transmission of bioaerosols from these emissions.
"With this ground-breaking research project, BIOREM will be
exploring how biological systems for air emissions control also
help to mitigate the release of bioaerosols from waste water
treatment processes," said Derek S.
Webb, CEO of BIOREM. "Bioaerosols have historically been a
potential concern for the release of Aspergillus Fumigatus and
Legionella microbes, and with the ongoing novel corona virus
outbreak, the requirement for controlling the release of these
emissions is increasing."
"In view of the current situation regarding the COVID-19
disease, the relevance of this research project could not be
over-stated," continued Derek S.
Webb, "Published studies have demonstrated the resilience of
the virus, which exhibits strong aerosol and surface
stability. The potential for transmission within these
facilities requires further study and we are proud to be
contributing to the advancement of this critical science."
BIOREM has designed a dual-stage biological system specifically
optimized to address the types of emissions anticipated from the
various processes. The unit has been constructed and delivered
to the first study location. The overall length of the research
project is expected to last for one year.
New York City is the largest
and most populous city in the United
States of America with almost 20 million people living in
the metropolitan statistical area. With a combined GDP of
$3 trillion, it would rank as the
8th largest economy in the world if it were a country.
The metropolitan area operates 14 waste water facilities, treating
over 1.3 billion gallons per day of raw sewage. Being the most
densely populated urban city in the
United States, residential encroachment on the treatment
infrastructure demands high performance solutions for
emissions.
