Biological Evaluation
Tetra Tech RTW has extensive knowledge of biological
wastewater treatment, respirometry
studies and filamentous microorganism
identification to identify problem areas and suggest process changes
to optimize performance. Biological consulting is provided on-site to assure
that existing conditions are thoroughly understood before recommendations
are made. Respirometry studies
are used to define the biodegradability/toxicity of influent constituents
and to identify problem influent materials and required treatment times
for various constituents and highly biodegradable substances. Filamentous
microorganism identification is used to identify treatment plant problems
and suggest process modifications to gain control of the system. Our Olympus
BX-40 phase-contrast microscope with 35 mm and TV cameras provides excellent
identification capabilities as well as picture recording capabilities.
Tetra Tech RTW's staff includes nationally known experts
in process microbiology, emphasizing system biology. We can:
- Identify filamentous microorganisms and nutrient deficiencies
- Implement nitrification or denitrification and change process sludge quality
- Use microscopic examination, floc analysis, respiration rates, mass balances and oxidation/ reduction potential as tools to help you gain control of your system
