Overview

The SB101 Split Beaker can be used with our StrathtoxTM to determine the respiration inhibition of both carbonaceous and nitrifying bacteria within the same sample activated sludge.

To use the split flask, add activated sludge to both sides of the beaker and then add allylthiourea (ATU) on one side. The ATU kills the nitrifying bacteria, which allows a determination to be made on the impact of the nitrifying bacteria on the overall health of the plant.

Wastewater treatment is a costly activity and even though a plant may be compliant, optimising these costs is a key driver for all types of business.

Traditional M&E methods can only go so far, whereas using the science of microbiology allows plant operators to focus on the key element in secondary wastewater treatment process, that is, the bacteria that biodegrade the wastewaters feed to them.

StrathtoxTM provides an innovative method of determining how healthy your bacteria are, whether they are inhibited or not, the level of nitrification in your plant, the air they need and the key factors that will allow you to further optimise the costs of operating your plant.
