ByIn-Situ Process based in Fort Collins, COLORADO (USA)
The way is now open for more widespread use of direct toxicity tests as a basis for toxicity-based consents. Samples of the industrial effluent are collected at source, for testing on the actual bacteria of the receiving activated sludge. The tests used are the Respiration Inhibition Test and the Nitrification Inhibition Test. Note that this approach mirrors that of the regulators of discharges to ...

Objective: Certain constituents of the test waste were know to be biodegradable but were suspected of being toxic to aerobic biological processes when present in high concentrations. The objective was then to determine how much waste could be added to an activated sludge process before toxic impacts would be ...

If industrial wastewater entering a treatment works contains toxic components the rate of biodegradation will be inhibited or stop completely. This can result in failed consents and will certainly give rise to operational problems. Visible indications include deflocculation, bulking and the appearance of filamentous bacteria. Sometimes, there are no visible effects. When the sludge bacteria are inhibited, there is the possibility of toxicity carryover in the effluent that is discharged to receiving waters. With ...

An alternative approach is to undertake toxicity reduction procedures, such as neutralisation or acid hydrolysis, in pilot-scale laboratory studies. The Respiration or the Nitrification Inhibition Test may be used for this. In the future, toxicity reduction may be stipulated by local authority, water company or publicly-owned treatment works prior to giving discharge consents. Toxicity reduction may be evaluated using toxicity ...

Lessons on chemistry, enzymes, water quality and more in the classroom or in the environment Our enzyme reagents and test kits are non-toxic and environmentally benign, meaning safe learning tools for your students, from elementary to graduate education. Our on-site nitrate test kits are especially great for beginners, as there is no necessary equipment required, and students can watch their samples turn pink from the nitrate. ...
ByNECi Superior Enzymes based in Lake Linden, MICHIGAN (USA)
METHOD: A seed culture from a full-scale anaerobic digester was placed in a number of 200 mL respirometer vessels. A synthetic wastewater having a 20,000 mg COD/L in a nutrient/ mineral/buffer solution was fed daily to each reaction vessel — along with various amounts of the cleaning agent The reactors were operated for a four day test period with measurement of gas production using a CHALLENGE ANR-200 anaerobic ...
