The variability of the ABR demonstrates the insensitivity of the MLSS as an indicator of living biomass concentration and suggests that opportunities for improvement exist in most facilities.
In fact, a wide range of opportunities present themselves by having the ability to easily and directly measure living biomass quantity, such as the ability to:
- Manage bioreactor inventory level
- Inprove biosolids settalibility
- Detect influent wastewater toxicity
- Monitor biomass in effluent
- Balance bioreactor throughputs
- Identify the source of process upsets
- Determine disinfection efficacy
With the ability to measure living biomass directly and without interference, wastewater treatment operators can unlock the potential of their bioreactor through the use of Luminultra’s QG21W test kits.
