Overview

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.

Respirometry

Respirometry of activated sludge is an important tool in wastewater treatment and Strathkelvin Instruments have developed a robust instrument with simple operating procedures and advanced Windows-based software.

The StrathtoxTM respirometer is extremely simple to operate with test results and tables that are easily understood by anyone with basic wastewater treatment skills.
