Wastewater Treatment

We specialise in wastewater treatment instrumentation for activated sludge plants. With decades of experience with dissolved oxygen measurement, we offer a range of products and services for wastewater respirometry and toxicity testing.

Wastewater Treatment Products

Testing Services

Send your wastewater samples for expert analysis at our fully equipped laboratory. Our team of scientists will provide a full, expert analysis on your samples and compile a scientific report for your records.

All our tests are performed on our laboratory instrument, the StrathtoxTM, using activated sludge from a local municipal wastewater treatment plant.

Strathkelvin Instruments offers this service for customers who do not wish to carry out the tests themselves, either because they do not have the facilities or they need the results independently verified.

Please contact us for prices. All of our work is carried out to our stringent quality control standards, with all results explained.

ASP-Con

The ASP-Con, short for Activated Sludge Plant Controller, is a multi-parameter instrument by Strathkelvin Instruments that provides automated measurements of the activated sludge process in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), including dissolved oxygen levels, ammonium concentration, pH and many more.

Additionally, by measuring the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) of bacteria in real-time, the ASP-Con can provide indicators of bacterial activity through respirometry.

By significantly improving the visibility of operating conditions, the ASP-Con allows operators to improve their control of WWTPs on a dynamic basis, improving compliance and reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

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.
