Adaptation tipping points and opportunities for urban flood risk management
The effects of climate change are expected to increase the frequency and magnitude of floods, droughts and heat waves. An emerging method termed adaptation tipping point – opportunity (ATP-O) assesses a system's climate-incurred tipping points and uses opportunities arising from urban developments to introduce adaptation strategies while reducing investment costs. The objective of this ...

The Secret to Optimizing Solids Inventory in Wastewater Treatment Plants
A common problem in wastewater treatment plants in Australia is that generally they hold excessive amounts of solids. In fact this problem is common worldwide. However, LuminUltra’s 2nd Generation ATP. While traditional operating methods tend to rely on TSS and/or VSS measurements these often detect more than just living biomass. For example, TSS takes in to account living biomass, dead ...

Wastewater Monitoring Series, Part 2: The Use of 2nd Generation ATP Monitoring Systems
In October, we featured Part I of a three-part series on "Getting a Handle on Living Biomass in Wastewater Treatment." Here, we present Part II of the series which focuses on a revolutionary breakthrough technology that uses Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) for the measurement of total microbiological content in a given sample. Through years of successful research, development, and field ...

The Standard For Total Biomass Measurement in Metalworking Fluids
Metalworking fluids provide a warm and nutrient-rich environment for growth of bacteria and fungus. Once microbial growth is established it can contribute to the breakdown of the metal working fluid emulsion and consequently its ability to lubricate metallic surfaces. Microbes also lower the fluid's pH, leading to corrosion of tool parts and staining of wetted metal surfaces. Uncontrolled ...

Data center process water clean up - Case Study
The Problem : Super Computer Data Processing CPU Performance Loss Today’s Big Data reality depends on real world cooling efficiency. Even a super thin biofilm and/or deposits of any kind, cause real world cooling computer efficiency issues which cost real world dollars. AMSA, Inc. has set the standard for the last 23 years for the “smart”, or designed molecule approach for ...

Rapid quantification of bacteria and viruses in influent, settled water, activated sludge and effluent from a wastewater treatment plant using flow cytometry
As microbiological parameters are important in monitoring the correct operation of wastewater treatment plants and controlling the microbiological quality of wastewater, the abundances of total bacteria (including intact and damaged bacterial cells) and total viruses in wastewater were investigated using a combination of ultrasonication and flow cytometry. The comparisons between flow cytometry ...

Efficiency of peracetic acid in inactivating bacteria, viruses, and spores in water determined with ATP bioluminescence, quantitative PCR, and culture-based methods
The disinfection efficiency of peracetic acid (PAA) was investigated on three microbial types using three different methods (filtration-based ATP (adenosine-triphosphate) bioluminescence, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), culture-based method). Fecal indicator bacteria (Enterococcus faecium), virus indicator (male-specific (F+) coliphages (coliphages)), and protozoa ...
