Baswood BioViper wastewater pretreatment system begins operations at Dr Pepper Plant

In Texas, Baswood Corporation announced the start of full-scale operations of its BioViper biological pretreatment system at the Dr Pepper Snapple Group Houston bottling plant. Baswood describes their BioViper patented technology as an energy-efficient pretreatment solution that significantly lowers the biochemical oxygen demand in the bottling plant’s facility’s effluent.

Baswood’s technology was developed and patented by Paul Baskis, a microbiologist and inventor, who studied rivers and saw how bacteria worked in different aeration environments. Based on these studies, Mr. Baskis designed an innovative approach to wastewater treatment that replicated the processes that occur in a natural environment.
