Overview
The AS-Bioscope is a portable instrument that allows you to measure and record important parameters of the wastewater treatment process at many different points in a number of treatment works.
This data can then be uploaded to a PC database that can be used to print reports and will keep track of changes over time.
By dipping the AS-Bioscope into the liquor in a wastewater treatment tank and taking a sample you can measure the liquor temperature, DO, OUR, SOUR and % settlement.
Biodegradation Rate
Aerobic biological treatment plants operate by mixing biodegradable feed and activated sludge bacteria together in the presence of air to clean the influent flow.
This process is known as biodegradation, and optimum processing conditions for this process depend on managing the bacterial population, influent composition and flows as well as the aeration supply.
Effective biodegradation activity profiling can assist the plant manager to optimise operating conditions, microbiology and cost of running the treatment works.
The AS-Bioscope has been designed to provide the plant operator with information of biodegradation profiling, dissolved oxygen levels, temperature levels and sludge settlement characteristics.
