Preparing for the Canadian Coal Mining Effluent Regulations (CMERs) Coming in 2026

2nd October 2025

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is expected to introduce the Coal Mining Effluent Regulations (CMERs) in 2026. The CMERs will specify national water effluent quality limits for selenium, nitrate, and total suspended solids (TSS), alongside new monitoring and reporting requirements. These regulations will apply to both existing and new coal mines across Canada.

WHY SELENIUM AND NITRATE MATTER IN COAL MINING WATER

Selenium and nitrate removal in mining wastewater are now top priorities for coal operators. Selenium and nitrate can be released through coal deposits and processing operations, with contaminants often carried in run-off into groundwater. This in turn creates a potential risk to receiving waters and their aquatic ecosystems. Alongside selenium and nitrate, total suspended solids (TSS) will also be regulated under the CMERs, adding further compliance requirements for operators.

The CMERs will increase compliance pressure on operators to achieve reliable, verifiable performance at consistently low concentrations, a critical step both to protect aquatic ecosystems and to safeguard mining operations from regulatory and reputational risk.

PROVEN TREATMENT PATHWAYS

For more than a decade, Envirogen has been developing and operating treatment solutions for coal mining water. These technologies are proven in the field internationally and are directly applicable to Canadian coal mining operations. They are designed to meet stringent discharge limits under challenging, variable conditions.

 

Biological Fluidized Bed Reactors (FBRs) for selenium and nitrate:

  • Proven reduction of selenium to low micrograms per litre (µg/L) and nitrate to less than 0.1 milligrams per litre (mg/L), to meet the strictest effluent requirements.
  • Faster treatment with shorter residence time compared to other biological systems.
  • Reliable performance that adapts to variations in feed flow and composition.
  • Modular, all-weather designs with built-in protection to suit challenging site conditions.

 

Regenerable Ion Exchange (IX) for mining water treatment:

  • High-efficiency removal of selenium and nitrate to low micrograms per litre (µg/L) and less than 0.1 milligrams per litre (mg/L), respectively, to meet the strictest effluent requirements.
  • Staggered bed approach extends resin life and reduces regeneration frequency and salt usage.
  • Flexible operation, continuous or intermittent, with no decline in performance.
  • Prepackaged in a containerized unit or skidded to be placed in a building, minimizing installation costs.

DESIGNING FOR COMPLIANCE, RESILIENCE, AND LIFECYCLE COST

Each site presents different geology, flows, and seasonal variability. Choosing between FBR and IX (or deploying them in series) depends on influent quality, flow-profile, footprint constraints, power and reagent availability, and operator preference. Envirogen applies a life cycle cost approach to balance capital and operating costs while safeguarding long-term compliance and uptime.

DATA, MONITORING, AND REPORTING

With the upcoming coal mining effluent regulations in Canada expected to include monitoring and record-keeping requirements, reliable instrumentation and data management are as important as the process design.

GETTING READY FOR CMERS

Canadian mines preparing for the CMERs should review current water quality, assess risk from variability and storm events, evaluate treatment options against discharge targets, and plan for data and reporting workflows. Envirogen supports desktop assessments, pilot testing, and phased deployment to de-risk full-scale implementation.

California’s 2025 Safe Drinking Water Plan: Why Regenerable Ion Exchange Matters More Than Ever

22nd August 2025

The draft 2025 Safe Drinking Water Plan has now been issued – and it reaffirms what many communities and water agencies across California already know. Tackling groundwater contamination, particularly from hexavalent chromium (Cr-6) and nitrate in drinking water, remains a top priority.

Published every five years, the plan provides a strategic blueprint for maintaining and improving California’s drinking water quality. The State Water Resources Control Board held a public workshop on July 15 in Sacramento to present the plan and gather stakeholder input, with the written comment period open through to the end of August 2025. For utilities, regulators, and engineering consultants, this draft is more than a policy update – it’s a clear signal to act.

NITRATE AND CR-6 IN DRINKING WATER: STILL A WIDESPREAD AND URGENT CONCERN

The 2025 plan highlights persistent challenges with naturally occurring groundwater contaminants, including arsenic, nitrate contamination in California, and Cr-6 in drinking water – particularly in disadvantaged and rural communities. Nitrate contamination in California and regulation has a been a long-term concern, while Cr-6 in drinking water continues to pose serious compliance challenges, especially following the adoption of California’s final Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) in 2024.

In California’s Central Valley, nitrate levels have exceeded public health thresholds in numerous small water systems, placing communities at risk of long-term exposure. Prolonged ingestion of nitrate-contaminated water is associated with serious health outcomes, including methemoglobinemia (“blue baby syndrome”) and potential links to certain cancers. According to the California Division of Drinking Water, the current nitrate MCL is 10 mg/L as nitrogen, placing increasing pressure on small and rural systems to implement robust treatment strategies.

REAL PROJECTS DEMONSTRATE LONG-TERM POTENTIAL

In Southern California, mobile home park systems such as Quiet Oaks are already using modular regenerable IX platforms to treat nitrate – real project examples showing how small community systems are addressing regional groundwater issues.

Many systems still rely on short-term fixes or conventional single-pass ion exchange, which can result in high operating costs, significant waste generation, and frequent resin replacement. A different approach is needed – one that’s built for long-term sustainability and lower lifecycle cost (LCC).

Containerized MinX Regen IX ion exchange system treating nitrate and chromium in small community drinking water supply in California.

A containerized Envirogen MinX regenerable ion exchange (regen IX) system installed to support uninterrupted and safe water supply for smaller communities, such as those in California.

NOT ALL ION EXCHANGE IS EQUAL: WHY REGENERABLE IX IS DIFFERENT

Envirogen’s regen IX (regenerable ion exchange) solution – delivered through our modular MinX or SimPACK platforms – is specifically engineered for the treatment of nitrate removal from groundwater and hexavalent chromium regulation in California. Unlike traditional single-use IX systems, regen IX is a closed-loop system designed for high efficiency, reduced waste, and lower total cost of ownership.

Key advantages of regenerable IX over conventional IX:

  • Regenerable resin beds: Eliminates frequent resin replacement and reduces hazardous waste
  • On-site regeneration: No need for off-site handling or transport
  • Lower lifecycle costs: Fewer consumables, less waste, and longer service intervals
  • Proven regulatory compliance: Consistently delivers nitrate-N <10 mg/L and Cr-6 levels <10 µg/L
  • Modular and scalable: The MinX and SimPACK systems are ideal for small and mid-sized utilities

This makes regenerable IX a standout solution for communities seeking reliable, compliant, and cost-effective ion exchange for groundwater treatment – particularly in response to California’s existing and newly adopted chromium MCL regulations.

ALIGNED WITH CALIFORNIA’S SAFE DRINKING WATER GOALS

Envirogen’s regenerable IX technology supports multiple focus areas outlined in the 2025 plan:

Plan focus area
Envirogen solution
Improve water quality in small and underserved communities
Modular MinX units tailored for lower flows, while modular SimPACK units are effective for mid-level flowrates
Reduce long-term costs and environmental impacts
Regenerable IX with reduced chemical and waste footprint
Support safe drinking water act compliance
Demonstrated performance to meet nitrate and Cr-6 MCLs with full system support
Enable smarter operations and asset tracking
Remote telemetry, data logging, and system diagnostics

TIME TO ACT

The draft plan reinforces what’s at stake – and provides a platform for shaping California’s safe drinking water strategy. But for many utilities, compliance deadlines are fast approaching.

If your team is evaluating treatment solutions in the face of increasing regulatory pressure or aging infrastructure, Envirogen’s regen IX approach is already proven and regulator-accepted – successfully deployed across numerous municipal applications in California.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE MINX AND SIMPACK REGENERABLE IX SOLUTIONS

Envirogen’s MinX and SimPACK platform is available in both regenerable and single-pass configurations – offering flexibility depending on your water quality goals, site conditions, and operational constraints. Designed for long-term nitrate removal from groundwater and to support compliance with hexavalent chromium regulation in California, our regenerable IX systems are field proven to reduce lifecycle costs and minimise waste, while still delivering reliable performance in groundwater and drinking water applications.

Regenerable IX is also a proven option for industrial water treatment in California, supporting operations that require scalable, low-waste solutions for nitrate and Cr-6 removal under evolving regulatory requirements.

Emerging Contaminant 1,4 Dioxane Treated with Envirogen Fluidized Bed Reactor

19th August 2025

The US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) (Omaha District) and The United States Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), in conjunction with Jacobs Engineering Group (Jacobs) and Bhate Environmental Associates, Inc., have contracted Envirogen Technologies to design, build, and install an active water treatment system to treat 1,4 Dioxane at an Air Force Base in Tennessee. The award of a contract for this remediation system is for a full-scale demonstration unit, following successful bench-scale testing of the site water.

The specific site was contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) from metalworking operations that contained 1,4-Dioxane. Envirogen, in collaboration with Jacobs, has designed an aerobic cometabolic biological treatment (CBT) system based on Envirogen’s proven and proprietary fluidized bed reactor technology (FBR). The CBT system utilizes propane to feed and grow a specially selected microbial biomass on the FBR media. These microbes consume the propane and subsequently produce enzymes that cometabolically degrade the target compound of 1,4 Dioxane.

In collaboration with the Biotechnology Development and Applications Group at APTIM, the results of microcosm and bench-scale testing indicate the ability of the system to reduce 1,4-Dioxane concentrations to low ug/L (ppb) levels at hydraulic residence times less than 45 minutes.

A full-scale system has been funded as a demonstration unit and is expected to be operational in 2021. If successful, this system will become a permanent addition to the existing groundwater treatment plant, demonstrating the FBR as a cost-effective treatment technology for low-concentrations of 1,4-Dioxane in groundwater.

1,4-Dioxane is a persistent contaminant in groundwater, commonly encountered at contaminated sites with a history of solvent use, often impacting nearby supply wells. The USEPA classifies 1,4-Dioxane as a suspected carcinogen. While Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) such as UV light-hydrogen peroxide, or ozone-hydrogen peroxide have been used to destroy the harmful contaminant, these technologies tend to be energy cost-intensive and/or have inherent safety risks. Other technologies, such as resin adsorption and liquid phase granular activated carbon come with the higher costs for replacing or regenerating the treatment media and can be subject to breakthrough/noncompliance if not monitored regularly. Biological treatment has great promise as a less expensive, more reliable, and sustainable treatment technology for 1,4-Dioxane.

Envirogen FBR Systems: How does a fluidized bed reactor work?

Envirogen is an industry leader in the use of bioreactor technology, with over 40 FBR systems installed worldwide and several projects under development. The Envirogen fluidized bed reactor design is a proprietary biological water treatment system deployed to remove organics or oxyanions (i.e., nitrate, selenium, perchlorate) from water.

Envirogen’s Regenerable IX System Treats San Fernando Well 3 to Drinking Water Quality

24th October 2024

Will further reduce dependence on costly imported water

Envirogen has recently completed commissioning of its regenerable ion exchange (IX) treatment system – SimPACK – for the City of San Fernando (CA) to provide drinking water from its Well 3, where the groundwater’s nitrate levels are above the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for potable water.

The City is utilizing the Envirogen SimPACK system to remove nitrate to a level at or below 80% of the MCL (8 mg/L nitrate-N).

System redundancy

The SimPACK technology is a multi-bed design operated in a staggered mode process. The staggered bed is Envirogen’s N+3 method, which allows seven of the ten filter vessels within the system to be online, while two vessels are being regenerated and one vessel is in standby. The design provides system redundancy, as required by the California Water Resources Board (CWRB) Division of Drinking Water.

The result is continuous on-demand treatment, via the use of regenerable IX resins. The SimPACK unit automatically controls the flow of water for treatment, as well as regeneration and rinse cycles for exhausted bed vessels, in order to maintain a set number of beds for treatment of the target contaminant of nitrate.

Components include Envirogen FluxFlo bag filters for pre-filtration, bag filter housings to remove suspended solids greater than 5 microns, an engineered container to shelter the system from weather and tampering; and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) featuring Envirogen SimPACK control logic to minimize waste rates and salt consumption.

Successful treatment

Victor Meza, Water Operations Manager for the City of San Fernando stated:

We chose Envirogen based on the prior successful use of an Envirogen SimPACK treatment system for Well 7A. That system operated effectively for the past five years, which gave us confidence in the same technology being used at Well 3. Using Envirogen’s most advanced regenerable IX technology for nitrate treatment allows the city to continue to diversify its water source portfolio, while providing residents with the least expensive, treated potable water.

Costly imported water

Dr. Todd Webster, Vice President, Envirogen, comments, “Envirogen has been pleased to collaborate with the City of San Fernando to bring our latest regenerable ion exchange nitrate treatment system to full, permitted operation by the State of California. It allows the City to continue to treat nitrate-impacted groundwater effectively and further minimize dependence on costly imported water.”

Looking ahead

Envirogen will continue to assist the City of San Fernando with continual maintenance through a service contract for both wells 3 and 7A treatment systems.

Envirogen awarded contract to provide treated, safe drinking water for a mobile home park in California

10th October 2024

Envirogen has been awarded a contract to install a MinX Regenerable Ion Exchange (IX) groundwater treatment system at a mobile home park in California. The purpose of the MinX System is to produce safe drinking water from groundwater polluted by selenium and arsenic at levels that exceed local drinking water standards. Envirogen was appointed in March 2024 to treat the park’s groundwater resource to less than 80% of the State of California drinking water maximum contaminant levels (MCLs).

The treatment system processes water from more than one well and will be fully installed and commissioned by the end of 2024, with the target to provide drinking water to the park community by early 2025.

“Ultimately, the life-cycle costs for the MinX regenerable IX unit were shown to be the best option for the client,” says Dr. Todd Webster, Vice President, Envirogen.

MinX technology was developed by Envirogen to meet challenges presented by groundwater containing multiple contaminants, variable water treatment volume and start-up/shut-down type operations. Its proprietary multi-bed ion exchange configuration allows it to lower operating costs by processing higher water volumes than traditional IX systems, without compromising on water quality.

The design enables quick installation and very low waste rates, and includes remote monitoring and communications for rapid, effective response by field service technicians.

Reliable and robust

Dr Webster comments, “California groundwater resources continue to be impacted by potentially toxic metals such as arsenic and selenium. Property owners dependent on groundwater for their water requirements are turning to effective technological solutions to provide potable water to their residents.

“The Envirogen MinX Regenerable IX unit is such a solution. Its efficient treatment technology provides a remedy that’s reliable, robust and has the lowest life-cycle treatment costs. Above all, and in this case, it will ensure an uninterrupted and safe water supply for the park residents.”

Prior to the award of the contract, Envirogen performed extensive option engineering for the client, reviewing multiple potential treatment options to produce potable water at the park as cost-effectively as possible.

Important step

A park spokesman said:

The award of the new groundwater selenium/arsenic treatment plant to Envirogen is a very welcome and important step for the park. After an extensive evaluation of treatment options with Envirogen, management is very confident that the Envirogen MinX ion exchange system delivers both the best value and best performance technology. Speed of delivery is crucial, with the design and construction of the facility being underway in Q1, 2024 for completion later this year. The award is critically important for us to supply a safe supply of water to residents for years to come.

Envirogen wins £1m+ contract to provide demineralised water for new Energy from Waste (EfW) plant in Glasgow (UK)

3rd September 2024

Envirogen has been awarded a £1m+ contract by Fortum Glasgow Limited to demineralise water for the boilers at its new South Clyde Energy Centre (SCEC) in Glasgow. This EfW sector project will be achieved by using two of Envirogen’s compact Eco MultiPro units, complemented by pre-treatment and polishing vessels.

The contract will provide the ultrapure water quality needed to generate 45 megawatts electric (Mwe) of lower carbon electricity from residual, non-recyclable household waste; enough to power the equivalent of around 70,000 homes every year.

And by incinerating household waste to heat the boilers, the plant will prevent up to 350,000 tonnes of household waste going to landfill annually – the equivalent of the waste arising from some 380,000 households. It will therefore meet the Scottish government’s new landfill measure to ban biodegradable municipal waste going to landfill from December 31st 2025 onwards.

Eco MultiPro selected due to Envirogen success in other EfW energy operations

Fortum decided on the Envirogen system because of Eco MultiPro’s success in other EfW energy operations, including:

The complete package from Envirogen comprises its Eco MultiPro based demineralised water system design, supply, installation, commissioning, training and extended warranty. Following commissioning, the plant will produce treated water quality of <0.2 Microsiemens/cm, and <20 ppb Silica at up to 30m3/hr flowrate, achieved by a flow from each unit of 15m3/hr.

Eco MultiPro is a skid-mounted reverse osmosis and electrodeionisation (RO-DI) water treatment system that delivers high purity water, with low operating costs, chemical free operation and a compact design to save space.

Envirogen will deliver the units and pretreatment solution by summer next year, install the equipment in the autumn of 2025 and commission it in January 2026.

Sustainable

Ilkka Toijala, Head of Fortum UK, comments,

Envirogen worked with our technical team to develop a solution that provides a plant capable of supplying reliable water in a time-efficient and cost-efficient manner, aligning with our sustainability objectives. That was helped by Envirogen having a long and proven track record in industrial water treatment.

Ilkka Toijala

Essential

Demineralised water will be essential for the trouble-free operation of the boilers and turbines.

Simon Radford, Head of Sales, Envirogen Group says, “Steam turbines are highly sensitive to corrosion and scale build-up. Scale-forming ions and suspended solids from mains water can deposit on turbine blades and within pipework, risking damage. Using demineralised water is absolutely crucial. Despite the steam cycle being a closed system, modern boilers still need a steady supply of demineralised water to compensate for inevitable losses due to steam leaks, blowdown and other operational processes.”

Eco MultiPro’s three-stage treatment

Heating water is energy-intensive, and scale formation reduces efficiency. Envirogen’s answer to that is the Eco MultiPro, with its three-stage membrane treatment process – reverse osmosis, gas transfer membranes and continuous electrodeionisation (CEDI). Together, these stages remove all scale-forming ions, ensuring optimal performance and low operating costs.

High quality, no hazardous chemicals

Radford comments, “We worked closely with the plant designer, AFRY, from an early stage to develop a membrane-based solution to match the sustainability needs of the plant. The membranes will allow Envirogen’s ‘state of the art’ MultiPro units to produce high quality demineralised water without having to resort to the use of hazardous chemicals on site.

”Overall, the robust, reliable design focuses on whole life operating costs for both utility and maintenance over a 30-year design life.”

Envirogen’s membranes are durable and long-lasting, and so deliver considerable cost savings because they need replacing less often. Additionally, the RO-CEDI skid requires no chemical regeneration, relying instead on a small amount of electricity to renew the membranes. The entire demineralisation process carries a much lower operating cost compared to a conventional resin-bed solution, especially as, in this case, it utilises electricity that is generated on-site.

Envirogen Presenting at the West Virginia Mine Drainage Task Force Symposium & 15th International Mine Water Association Congress

16th April 2024

Rob Loken, the VP of Sales Service and Products will be representing Envirogen at the Acid Mine Drainage active treatment solutions – including options and evaluation, at the West Virginia Mine Drainage Task Force Symposium & 15th International Mine Water Association Congress on the 21st to 26th of April, which is taking place in Morgantown, WV, USA. We are available at booth 10, so we can help you evaluate the treatment options best for you.

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) poses a significant threat to environmental health, particularly in regions with extensive mining activities. It results from the exposure of sulphide minerals to air and water, leading to the release of highly acidic and metal-laden runoff. This runoff not only harms aquatic ecosystems by lowering pH levels and increasing metal concentrations but also contaminates soil and groundwater, endangering plant life and human health.

AMD is a persistent issue and it’s essential to explore new innovations and solutions. Our booth will showcase cutting-edge technologies designed to revolutionize AMD treatment. We will be demonstrating how various treatment options have both advantages and disadvantages, and there are new and improved available technologies that may provide better treatment solutions rather than other, more novel options.

Join Rob Loken at the breakout session on Tuesday, April 23rd, from 10:15am to 11:55am, where he will be presenting on AMD active treatment solutions. Drawing from real-world AMD sites and testing, he will walk you through various treatment options, weighing both their pros and cons against feed water chemistry, for utmost transparency about the available technologies.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to discuss AMD treatment with us at Envirogen. Visit us at the WVTF IMWA , booth 10, so we can help you evaluate the treatment options best for you and the environment.
