Wastewater treatment requires many different steps, at the end of which, harmless water is returned to the cycle. Microorganisms are relevant in various ways. In biological treatment, they are used as a complex ecosystem. This microbial ecosystem breaks down organic and inorganic pollutants for environmentally sound purified water.
Potentially pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater, on the other hand, pose an environmental risk; disinfection measures during treatment eliminate them. Knowledge of the exact number of all bacteria/microorganisms and their viability is important for the effective control of process steps. Only with this knowledge can the processes be controlled, monitored and ultimately optimized – for resource-saving and safe wastewater treatment.
The wastewater market faces a variety of challenges when it comes to ensuring stable and safe treatment processes. The reliable monitoring of biological treatment and disinfection processes, limited sensitivities of conventional detection methods, and a lack of standardization in process control necessitate targeted solutions.
This results in the following central challenges:
In order to optimize the processes, precise knowledge of the number and viability of the bacteria in the sample is required. Viability of the bacteria in the wastewater is necessary. Our solution delivers these insights within just 20 minutes. You will then know the exact number and viability of all bacteria in the wastewater, including viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria. This information is critical for assessing the stability of bacteria-dependent treatment processes, such as biological purification and filtration. In addition, it enables you to optimize and adjust disinfection dosing according to actual demand, ensuring efficient resource utilization and sustainable operation.
Thanks to the few, simple steps involved in our method and a software solution that automatically analyzes data and generates reports, objective, reliable results are available—without requiring any special prior knowledge.
In addition, you gain valuable insights into the composition (fingerprint) of your water microbiome, enabling you to detect changes in the microbial ecosystem—such as a shift in the balance of bacterial species and the resulting performance issues in the system—at an early stage. This allows you to monitor the biological treatment process and, if necessary, quickly adjust and optimize it. In this way, you can prevent inadequately treated water from entering the environment.
We provide precise, rapid and reliable microbiological quality control for demanding applications.
