After many year of process follow-up and troubleshooting in collaboration with wastewater treatment plant operators, MCR Process & Technology has developed a tool to assist operators in their daily tasks.
The STIRO-SETTLOMETER is a laboratory equipment inspired by the Standard Methods 2710C for the evaluation of the sludge settleability. From the laboratory results it is then possible to calculate the SSVI (stirred sludge volume index) and ZSV (zone settling velocity) and the SVI (sludge volume index). Comparing results using the STIRO-SETTLOMETER with the SVI test (without stirring) can reveal the importance of filamentous bridging on sludge settleability, a bad floc formation or the presence of a non-filamentous bulking.
Here is some additional downloadable information on the Stiro-settlometer. The files are in PDF format.
