Biological Wastewater Treatment

Control your biomass... and save your money!

LuminUltra has developed the first and only commercial test kit able to accurately measure true living biomass activity and health in wastewater treatment! LuminUltra’s QuenchGone21 Wastewater (QG21W) test kit provides complete results within 5 minutes, allowing real-time assessment of bioreactor efficiency and stability.

The ability to always be aware and in control of biomass health allows you take preventative action sooner than ever before to prevent process upsets before they happen and minimize operating costs!

Use of QG21W provides wastewater treatment operators with the ability to:

• Measure and differentiate between living biomass, dead biomass, and inert solids.

• Measure biomass health through the Biomass Stress Index (BSI).

• Determine the percentage of active biomass in any bioreactor.

• Optimize oxygen, nutrients, and bioaugmentation products.

• Optimize treatment parameters and in doing so reduce operating costs.

• Prevent process upsets by detecting toxicity at any point in the system.

• Detect the onset of settling problems like bulking or deflocculation before it is too late.

QG21W provides the first line of defence against process upsets in any wastewater treatment facility. Any bioreactor type, any industry, aerobic or anaerobic! In conjunction with other routinely collected data, these results can become an invaluable component of a continuous improvement program. Improving process stability and efficiency can decrease operating costs and minimize additional capital costs!
