Wastewater Monitoring Series, Part 1: Identifying the Gaps in Conventional Biomass Test Methods in Wastewater
Biological wastewater treatment systems require living biomass to remove biodegradable contaminants from wastewater. Effective treatment is directly dependent on the concentration of healthy biomass. It stands to reason that having an easy method to directly measure the quantity and quality of living biomass would be tremendously beneficial to the operation of biological wastewater treatment ...

Efficacy of measuring cellular ATP levels to determine the inactivation of pulsed UV treated
Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts suspended in waterThis constitutes the first study to report on the use of a novel approach to determine inactivation in PUV-irradiated Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts suspended in water based on the measurement of cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration. This study also compares the efficiency of a novel ATP assay to that of using the combined in vitro HCT-8 cell culture – quantitative ...

What’s a Luminometer? And Why Should You Care?
If you’re in the business of managing a water system – whether drinking water, wastewater or water used for industrial purposes – a luminometer can make your job easier. Luminometers have been used in labs for decades, helping to provide easily interpreted answers to molecular questions. The technology is proven and reliable, and – when it comes to water – ...

Preventative control of legionella through real-time bioburden testing
Abstract: Of the 485,000 annual cases of pneumonia-like sickness in the USA, approximately 15% are attributed to Legionnaire’s Disease. This typically results in health care costs of over $600 million (1, 2, 3). For the most part, these incidents can be prevented through effective monitoring and treatment. Since Legionella thrive within microbial biofilms and host organisms, an effective ...

Activated sludge optimization using ATP in pulp and paper industry
The activated sludge process is an old technology, but still the most commonly used one for treatment of wastewater. Despite the wide spread usage the technology still suffers from instability (Tandoi et al. 2006) and high operating cost. Activated sludge processes often carry a large solids inventory. Managing the total inventory without interference is the key component of the optimization ...

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 ...
