Webinar on demand | Seeing what MLSS can’t: Measuring living biomass with ATP

Part one of a two-part webinar series. Find part two here.

Traditional process control parameters like MLSS and MLVSS don’t always reveal changes in microbial activity before process performance is affected.

In this on-demand webinar, learn how municipal wastewater utilities are using Cellular ATP as a rapid indicator of living biomass in conventional activated sludge, Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) and Enhanced Biological Nutrient Removal (EBNR) processes.

Built around the themes of measure and act, this session explores how ATP complements traditional process control parameters, providing earlier insight into biological performance and enabling more informed operational decisions.

Through practical applications and real-world case studies, learn how utilities are using near real-time measurements of active biomass to:

  • Establish baselines and monitor changes in living biomass
  • Optimize solids inventory
  • Improve biological nutrient removal
  • Identify process upsets earlier
  • Maintain stable treatment performance
  • Make more proactive operational decisions

Who should watch

This webinar is designed for wastewater treatment plant operators, chief and lead operators, operations supervisors, process control specialists, process engineers, plant managers and utility operations managers.

Ideal for professionals responsible for

  • Activated sludge process optimization
  • Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR/EBNR)
  • Solids inventory management
  • Meeting ammonia, nitrogen and phosphorus limits
  • Responding to shock loads and industrial influent variability
  • Improving settling performance and reducing bulking
  • Lowering aeration energy consumption
  • Reducing biosolids production
  • Using data to make proactive operational decisions
