Anaerobic bacteria are bacteria that do not live or grow in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion is a complex biochemical reaction carried out in a number of steps by several types of micro-organisms that require little or no oxygen to live. One of the advantages of using anaerobic wastewater treatment is that it produces between five and ten times less sludge than aerobic processes. The main drawback is that it requires a much more stringent control process.
At Respirtek, we are a contract lab specializing in respirometric analysis. Process improvement and design, in addition to the best respirometric analysts available in this country, are our strong points. Send us a soil or water sample from the site and we will be able to tell you within a few days of lab work if naturally occurring microbes will work for you. We use a NASA spin-off technology that is used in developing communication with microbes. We are talking about the evolving science of respirometric technology, a real time monitoring of microbial behavior. Whether it is natural attenuation or full-scale bioremediation involving groundwater, soil testing or other environmental matrices, we can assist you.
