Introduction:
The introduction of new chemicals or changes in the dosage of existing products in your production can pose potential risks to biological treatment processes. Bacteria, whether aerobic or anaerobic, may be susceptible to the toxic or inhibitory effects of certain chemicals, leading to a significant loss of activity and potential malfunction of the biological treatment process.
Our solution:
To mitigate this risk, we offer advanced toxicity testing for activated sludge bacteria. This testing utilizes respirometry, following OECD and ASTM guidelines. The results are presented in a format that allows easy translation into the actual quantity of products used in real-world scenarios.
Key benefits:
Decision-Making Support:
Armed with this data, you can make informed decisions about the potential risks of using specific products in your treatment process. Over thirty customers have already utilized our services, testing more than 200 products before integrating them into their production.
