Aqua Enviro utilise three main techniques for assessing feedstocks for aerobic treatment. With these being carbonaceous and nitrification inhibition testing, Zahn Wellens / EMPA RBCOD assessment and laboratory trials using sequence batch reactors.
The Zahn Wellens test is usually the 2nd stage of assessment, comprising of a batch test whereby a known quantity of test material is added to a continually mixed and aerated vessel, containing seed sludge from a suitable activated sludge process. COD degradation is recorded over the 28 day test period.
A report of results will be produced which will show:-
1kg or 1L of test material is required for the testing, for a quotation or general query please contact our Laboratory Manager Andy burgess by tel 01924 242 255 or email andyburgess@aquaenviro.co.uk
