Activated Sludge Microscopy Testing Services
FromAqua Enviro
One of Aqua Enviro’s techniques for the initial assessment of the activated sludge process is microscopic examination. This test involves the visual assessment of biomass floc structure/size/shape, protozoa, metazoa and filamentous bacteria. Findings from the visual assessment our used to indicate the overall health of the plant, changes that may have occurred in the influent, process conditions (F/M, sludge age) and any problems that maybe occurring within the ASP (low dissolved oxygen, under/overloading, nutrient deficiency, toxicity)

Microscopy report will be produced which will assess:-
- Overall health of the Mixed liquor
- 30min settlement rate
- Floc integrity, size, shape and structure
- Filamentous bacteria species and abundance
- Protozoa and metazoa species and abundance
- Brief summary of observations and process conditions
- Potential treatment solutions for any areas of concern
