Wastewater Biomass Analysis
Without a doubt, microbes are the hardest workers in any biological wastewater treatment process. The types of filamentous bacteria, flocs and higher life forms that we see down our microscope can give a good early indication of your plant conditions, settling and compliance. This can save operational time and budget, improve compliance and reduce foaming.
Our Standard Report examines the bugs and floc types present in your system. It includes photos and a short discussion of potential issues.
Routine Monitoring helps with early identification and correction of issues in your WWTP before settling, compliance and/or dewatering deterioration becomes apparent on-site. Regular samples receive a discounted rate.
Our Troubleshooting Service combines the microscopic investigation with a review of your plant and operating parameters by our experienced wastewater process team. Our staff have managed, operated and commissioned WWTPs in NZ and overseas. Our aim is to optimise your current system and we can also recommend process improvements.
The University of Auckland has been investigating processes such as improving dewaterability, decreasing cake solids and chemical use, and breakdown of organic contaminants. They now want to partner with the wastewater treatment industry through long term Research Projects involving data collected from a range of WWTPs.
