Improving the Performance of Activated Sludge Systems — An Operator’s Perspective
It is generally accepted that aerobic biological treatment systems are robust and stable to the extent that eight key growth pressures are controlled: Organic Loading (BOD or COD) Dissolved Oxygen Temperature pH Nutrients Retention Time Inhibitory or toxic compounds...
Alternative Carbon Source Comparison Case Study
In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), bacteria need a constant biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) loading source to sustain their population. Periods of low loading could negatively affect bacteria and lead to a low population, resulting in insufficient biological...
Respirometry, a Valuable Tool
EBS often uses respirometry as a valuable tool when evaluating client wastewater treatment systems and programs. Respirometers are versatile instruments that allow us to assess the treatability of a wastewater sample by measuring the respiration rate of aerobic or...
Treatability White Paper
Process Chemical Inhibition Assessment Introduction Environmental Business Specialists, LLC (EBS) was contracted to perform an inhibition assessment to determine if a test substance (TS) in the client’s wastewater would cause problems for the local publicly owned...
Methods for Assessing Wastewater Lagoon Performance
EBS, recently presented at the 2019 AL/MS Water Jam on “Methods for Assessing Wastewater Lagoon Performance.” The presentation addressed ways to identify and troubleshoot issues that may arise in your wastewater treatment system.
Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) Used to Conduct Hydrographic Surveys
EBS uses an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) to conduct Hydrographic Surveys in different bodies of water from clean to wastewater. The USV is equipped with a single beam echo sounder optimized for shallow water hydrographic surveying and a dual-frequency transducer....
