Lab Services:

 

 

Filamentous Identification Lab Service. One reason to identify filaments is to determine the filaments characteristics and then determine the type present.  If the type is found out, a root cause can usually be associated with a particular filament.  If the cause is known, then a correction can be made to alleviate problems. Chlorination is only a quick fix.  Without process changes, filaments will grow back after chlorination.

Wastewater Biomass Analyses and Cooling Tower Analyses also available

 

Training Materials:

 

 

Training is an integral part of any job. Not everyone is at the same level of training. Many people want beginning concepts and basics. Some need technical information or troubleshooting. Some want equipment, technology or process information.

We have developed a full set of Basic training, Advanced training, Filamentous Identification the Easy Way as well as custom training CD's Manuals. We also provide hands-on training classes and soon will have an Online "E-University".

 

Audits and Consulting:

 

At Environmental Leverage® Inc., we have a team of experienced individuals who come into your plant with a fresh pair of eyes.  The system is checked from influent to effluent.  System optimization, equipment efficiency and operational excellence are key components explored. Key Benefits Equipment efficiency Total Cost of Operation reductions Reliability and safety

An onsite audit is conducted to examine system parameters, process controls, and current monitor and control procedures. A physical walk-through is conducted, process flow diagrams are examined, previous design criteria are examined and current standard operating procedures are evaluated along with data logs.

These photomicrographs were taken from a wastewater sample.  Most of the objectives used were 100x, 400x and 1000x.

Notice how when you go from low power to a higher magnification, more details jump out. Do not be afraid to go up to a higher magnification, even 1000x!

We hope you like the new look of our Bug of the Month Gallery.

We kept the same organisms we had from the past, we just updated some of the pages with newer and better photos wherever possible.

 

You can hit play on the album selector and let the program run, and sit back and enjoy the photos, or you can pick one photo at a time with the next, back or pause button if you want more time.

 

Since each gallery can only hold so many photographs, we have broken down the Galleries by year. Please click on the links below to access each years Gallery.
If you are interested to see more photos or Videos of each of these organisms and others like them, you might want to consider purchasing our training materials.
