Two UBC scientists have
developed a bacteria-based
sewage treatment process that’s
a North American first:

It’s chemical-free, en-
vironmentally safe and it could
prove to be the new line of
defence against lake pollution.

Using techniques pioneered in
South Africa, civil engineering
head Bill Oldham and research
associate Fred Koch: have suc-
cessfully adapted the advanced
wastewater treatment process
for municipal sewage to
Canada’s colder climate. -

It removes nitrogen and
phosphorus, | two” potentialy
damaging substances. using
bacteria that occur naturally in
the waste.

In conventional sewage treat-
ment processes, phosphorus
and nitrogen escape into lakes
and rivers to feed growing algae
populations.

The algae are then gonsumed
by. bacteria in a cycle that even-
tually uses up oxygen In the lake
causing natural lifeforms to die.
