Wastewater Biomass Analysis

Wastewater Biomass Analysis (filamentous bacteria)

EMSL Test Code: M654

Do you encounter problems with your wastewater treatment systems such as foaming, sliming or bulking flocs that are difficult to settle or dewater? It is very important to perform the microscopic biomass analyses of a wastewater treatment system and understand the organisms, including higher life forms and filamentous bacteria. The detailed wastewater biomass analysis will indicate the mechanisms behind the flocs, including low DO, Low F/M, low pH, low nutrients, septicity, and grease and oil.
