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 Bugcount® Wastewater test kits.
