respirometry

RespirTek has the nation's foremost experts in the field of respirometry on our staff. We are versatile enough to handle one sample a year to as many as you require each day. Respirometry can be used for a variety of applications including but not limited to: Biodegradation studies, Industrial waste treatability testing, Biomass activity tests, Kinetic measurements, Performance evaluations, Compost and soil reactions, and Research applications.

Testing protocols include the use of respirometers for monitoring biological reactions, such as: Selection of appropriate treatment technology, Biological processes, Physical chemical processes, Combined physical chemical processes, Comparison of anaerobic and aerobic processes for municipal and industrial waste treatment, Assessing treatability of organic and inorganic wastes, Assessing anaerobic/aerobic bio- degradation of specific organic chemicals, Assessing treatability of inorganic wastes, Design and operation of laboratory- scale and on-site pilot plants, Measurement of kinetic parameters, Evaluation of existing treatment plants with view toward optimization of performance, and Assessment of process failures. Whether it is natural attenuation or full-scale bioremediation involving groundwater, soil testing or other environmental matrices, we can assist you.
