Five Key Areas To Improve Your Wastewater System
Wastewater management is a multifaceted endeavor. Below are five critical areas that can significantly enhance your system's effectiveness. 1. Generating reliable laboratory data While it’s true what they say, “you can’t control what you don’t measure,” at...
The importance of Primary Clarification:
The importance of Primary Clarification and how it can impact Effluent BOD.
How Can EBS NitriFire Stabilize Nitrification Rates in the Winter?
Winter's colder temperatures bring a host of operational challenges for wastewater treatment facilities, particularly in the biological nitrification process. This crucial process is responsible for converting ammonia into nitrate and can be significantly impacted by...
Types of Organic Compounds In Industrial Wastewater
Testing for different categories of compounds in wastewater—such as readily biodegradable, slowly biodegradable, recalcitrant, and toxic compounds is crucial for several reasons related to environmental protection, wastewater treatment efficiency, and public health....
Free vs Bound Chemical Analysis
The return of healthy biological solids is essential to the performance of activated sludge systems. Along with concentrated biomass, inhibitory and toxic chemicals that can cause WET testing failures or treatment deficiencies may be returned to the system by being...
Flow Cytometry in Wastewater Treatment
Flow cytometry is a laser-based technology that rapidly analyzes a single cell or particle of interest using fluorescent nucleic acid stains. This powerful tool has been used in the medical field for decades to help advance the understanding of immunology, virology,...
