Regulatory compliance guides the testing performed within most wastewater facilities to help understand the process of the plant affects the final effluent stream being released into a sewer system, a secondary treatment system, river or other body of water.
Applications:
- Trace metals in influent and effluent
- Toxicity of influent and effluent
- BOD on WWTP discharge
Modern Water offers the Microtox technology for assessing industrial pre-treatment, ensuring process control and maintaining discharge permit compliance.
The test methods are suitable for characterising the toxicity of trucked waste, influent and effluent. Microtox is a useful predictor in treatment strategy for incoming waste streams.
