Disruptive Measures in Wastewater Treatment, 2017PEERS

Conventional wisdom/knowledge has taken us so far in our efforts to treat wastewater and biosolids. Adding more dissolved oxygen and monitoring F/M ratio isn’t going to cut it in the future of decreased energy resources, limited numbers of skilled operators, and more challenging effluent quality requirements. This discussion looks at disruptive wastewater treatment measurement. Moving from standard microscopic methods to tools like DNA and ATP provide methods to focus on the biological system and not just the physical/chemical plant. Using advances in DNA sequencing to identify unique microbial species and to quantify populations provides operators with knowledge needed to monitor and troubleshoot treatment plant problems. Examples are provided where the use of this technology was utilized to solve real-world problems in the paper industry.
