How do I know how old my sludge is ?

  • Have you looked under the microscope? MLSS is only a quantitative analyses and will only give you a number
  • By using the microscope, you can tell not only your sludge age, but the quality of your MLSS. Do you have filaments or floc?
  • Do you have amoebae or flagellates- then your system is probably young or recently got hit with a high BOD loading
  • Do you have worms and rotifers dominant? Then you may have an older sludge age.
  • If you do not have a microscope at your facility, contact our lab for help with your system and a Wastewater Biomass Analyses

How can I learn more about Bioaugmentation ?

  • Bacteria can come in many different sizes, shapes or formulations. There may be dry formulations, liquid, cubes or blocks. The reason they are made in different formulations is usually just for ease of application. General rule of thumb, dry products are almost always more concentrated and you get more of the bacterial formulation for your money instead of paying for liquid carrier. You must consider handling concerns and application though when choosing a product. Be careful about biological counts. Numbers are not as important as species type - check out our handouts on evaluation of biological products.

Your Wastewater Treatment Plant

Activated Sludge

Biological Wastewater

A wastewater treatment plan is a biological “bug” factory. You need to grow bacteria to successfully meet final effluent permits. There are no replacements for the biological activity. You can build more equipment, you can use all the chemicals you want, but basically, it comes down to how well you can grow bacteria!  So if you are running a “bug” factory, it would be a pretty good idea to check the status on your product – the bugs.
