Rialto Partners With BDP EnviroTech to Showcase Wastewater Treatment Innovation With Biological Double Efficiency Process

City of Rialto Showcases Innovative Wastewater Treatment Technology

On October 1, 2024, the City of Rialto, in partnership with BDP EnviroTech and a $1.56 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC), will showcase the results of the Biological Double Efficiency Process (BDP), an innovative wastewater treatment technology developed by BDP EnviroTech. This cutting-edge technology will showcase how it has demonstrated significant improvements in energy efficiency and water conservation compared to traditional wastewater treatment methods.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

• Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
• Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
• Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
• Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
• Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

The demonstration project, partially funded by a $370,000 grant from the State Water Resources Control Board, incorporated BDP EnviroTech’s proprietary process along with Nano-Bubble technologies. Together, an experiment located in Rialto’s Wastewater Treatment Plant separate from the Plant’s normal operations over the past year has provided the potential for a high-efficiency, cost-effective solution for treating wastewater.

Key Features of the BDP Wastewater Treatment Technology

1. Significant improvements in energy efficiency
2. Water conservation
3. Utilization of Nano-Bubble technologies
4. High-efficiency and cost-effective solution

Mayor Deborah Robertson expressed her support, stating, “Thanks to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, I was instrumental in getting a resolution passed that establishes the importance of water in our environmental strategy. A subsequent nine-page resolution adopted during the annual General Assembly of SCAG recognized water as an essential element in land use, housing, and sustainable community planning.”

Event Details

• Date: October 1st, 2024
• Time: 10:00 a.m.
• Location: Rialto Unified School District’s STEM Center, 324 N. Palm Avenue, Rialto, CA

The results of the Rialto project will be presented during a public event on October 1st, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at the Rialto Unified School District’s STEM Center. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the technology’s impact and enjoy light brunch refreshments provided by the STEM Center’s Bistro.
