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.

Our version of "Filamentous Identification for Dummies"!!!

We have had tons of people ask us to train them on how to perform a Filamentous Identification. After seeing thousands of sample, you start to learn a few tricks.
Remember, the most important part in performing the filamentous identification is in learning which process changes to make to the plant based upon the analyses.   Getting every single filament in the sample with the "correct" filamentous identification is not as important as figuring out what is wrong with the plant.  What is going on  that is making the filaments grow out of control, how to fix it and run the plant the most efficiently is really what is critical!  We have a few tricks up our sleeve that can make it a bit easier to decide what is wrong, which filaments are present and more importantly, how to fix the plant long term!!!

case histories

 

There are Case Histories with plant photos, troubleshooting, causes and controls of the filaments present, photomicrographs and how to fix and optimize the plant.  Sample Case History

 

cell shapes

There are numerous training programs from our two day hands on training class for Filamentous Identification

 

type 021n

Each Filament has its own section, with tons of photos, training materials, identifying characteristics, troubleshooting and causes and controls.

See a PDF example sheet with Type 021N

 

using the microscope

There is a section on how to use the microscope, sample collection and preparation, stains, how to take photomicrographs, lighting, storage, graphing and correlations.

 

Filamentous Bacteria Causes and Controls

It is one thing to learn an individual filament and the characteristics. Unfortunately the filaments do not play by the rules in real life and many times there are more than one type of filament in a plant. Grouping Filaments-This section shows you how to group filaments, find common causes and controls quickly and easily!

 

How to troubleshoot a plant in order to make it run more efficiently and also how to make your life easier to run the plant is really the whole goal of the training! This is not high school or college and you get an A+ if you score the correct results on the filamentous identification. The whole purpose of doing the analyses is to find out how to make your plant work better, cheaper and easier!

 

We developed a guide to understanding the terms for using the microscope as one of the most powerful tools you can have to run your "Bug Factory" because that is in reality what a wastewater treatment plant is!
