Validate treatment design under representative conditions

Technology selection carries material capital exposure when treatment performance is assumed rather than validated under representative operating conditions. Influent variability, scaling potential, and contaminant interactions can materially affect long-term reliability.

Our laboratory testing and modelling services quantify process response through bench-scale validation and calibrated simulation, informing equipment selection and defining design envelopes to improve technical accuracy and reduce downstream redesign.

Canada’s 1st Commercial-Scale moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) Treating Selenium and Nitrate at 520 gpm

Integrated Sustainability delivered Canada’s first commercial-scale moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system for selenium and nitrate removal from mine effluent. Full-service design, equipment supply, and field engineering supported a 520 gpm facility.

Performance Validation and Sludge Characterization During Reactor Start Up

Integrated Sustainability supported pre-commissioning and commissioning of a mine water moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). Biosolids monitoring and technical guidance supported compliant operation and long-term treatment optimization.

Feasibility Engineering and Cost Estimation for a 3,000 m3/d Mine Water Treatment Plant

Integrated Sustainability completed feasibility engineering and Class 4 cost estimating for a 3,000 m³/d mine water treatment plant. The design integrated HDS, ferric co-precipitation, MBBR treatment, sludge dewatering, and preconditioning options.

Mine Water Treatment Operations for a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) System

Integrated Sustainability assumed full operational responsibility for a water treatment plant 5 months into operation, optimizing moving bed biofilm reactor performance, closing commissioning gaps, and establishing reliable maintenance, operating, and reporting systems.

Best Achievable Technology Study for Selenium & Nitrate Removal Using Biological Treatment

Integrated Sustainability completed a Best Achievable Technology assessment for contact water containing elevated selenium and nitrate. The assessment screened over a dozen technologies and selected a biologically based treatment process for long-term compliance.

Groundwater Monitoring Standard Procedure Development

Integrated Sustainability finalized a groundwater monitoring procedure, standardizing trend evaluation, well classification, quality checks, and reporting requirements across monitored wells.

Ammonia and Nitrate Removal Using Biological Methods

Integrated Sustainability designed a mine water transfer and biological treatment system for ammonia and nitrate removal. Seasonal conveyance and discharge infrastructure minimized land disturbance while supporting reliable mine water management.

High Density Sludge and Biological Treatment Design for Metals and Nitrogen Control Permitting

Integrated Sustainability completed conceptual design of a mine water treatment plant for a Joint Permit Amendment Application, integrating metals removal, biological nitrogen treatment, and existing nanofiltration.

Water Treatment Plant Design to Support a Mines Act Permit Amendment

Integrated Sustainability designed a water treatment plant to support a Mines Act Permit Amendment for a gold project. The design integrated MBBR treatment and cold-season ammonia removal across three influent sources.

Lifecycle Accountability = Commercial Outcomes

Fragmented delivery weakens performance – so we built something different

Traditional models divide engineering, equipment, and integration across separate firms with competing priorities. Engineers sell hours. Equipment vendors sell their technology. Integration is left to make it all work (whether it fits or not).

The result is compromise. Higher costs, weaker environmental outcomes, and systems that don’t perform as intended. We built a different model that consolidates advisory, engineering, equipment fabrication, and operations together under one team to control performance and stand behind what we deliver.

sustain performance through unified operations, monitoring and data management

Over time, production rates fluctuate, influent chemistry shifts, regulatory thresholds tighten, infrastructure ages, and corporate reporting requirements evolve.

Sustained performance requires right-sized operations, a unified instrumentation and data architecture, and expert technical insight to consolidate asset diagnostics, maintenance, and compliance within a single operational framework.
