There have been over 20 different filament "types" classified by morphology and staining characteristics found in wastewater facilities experiencing operational problems.
Although filaments present in low amounts are beneficial for floc formation and good settling properties of activated sludge, when conditions favor their growth to excessive levels they can cause hazardous operational conditions such as sludge bulking and foaming that can become expensive and time-consuming to recover from.
In many cases, identification of the overabundant filament(s) will provide information on the conditions that encouraged the rapid growth and elucidate the best method for control of any issues caused by the filament(s).
Filament Identification Services
- Microscopic Examination
- Note the size and shape of floc particles and/or clumps of microorganisms
- Note abundance and type of higher zoological lifeforms
- Bright field wet mount slide preparation stained with crytal violet
- Bright field Gram stain slide preparation
- Based on the microscopic examination, filaments are identified by characteristics observed such as cell shape, size, septa shape and size, presence or absence of a sheath with or without attached growth, and Gram stain results.
 
021N taking advantage of an unbalanced system or toxicity; Beggiatola caused by high sulfide. The only filament that "swims."
Polysaccharide Estimation Services
India Ink Stain (a subjective estimation of polysaccharide levels).
Quick in vitro analysis to determine what products can break down or limit quantities of excreted polysaccharides.
Quick colorimetric analysis of ammonia and phosphate offered upon request.
Case Studies
Customers with Midge Flies are loving our AQUABAC XT (see below). It is USEPA certified ( 1-888-757-9577).
