Are you looking for effective wastewater testing? Respirtek's Microcosm Studies, also referred to as Biofeasibility Studies, can determine contaminant degradation rates for as many different scenarios that you would like to try, all within our respirometric laboratory. In respirometry's infancy it offered a slightly more accurate oxygen uptake rate than the standard BOD bottle and O2 probe. With the adaptation and improvements several highly dedicated researchers and manufacturers added to the field, the sophistication has finally met with today's electronic and data management. Below is a short list of the practical uses for respirometric determinations that will provide the information necessary to optimize treatment, assess incoming loadings and save money at every application.
- Determine accurate charge/ loading costs to your Significant Industrial User (SIU)
- Natural attenuation of land applied sludge
- Determine Food to Microorganism Ratio
- Determine return sludge control
- Determine toxic additions damage to biomass and corrections options Homeland Defense & Domestic Security
Whether it is natural attenuation or full-scale bioremediation involving groundwater, soil testing or other environmental matrices, we can assist you.
