Project description
Bacteria study in a Domestic Onsite Wastewater Treatment System.Associated parties
Flinders University, Taylex Australia Pty Ltd and Aerobic Tech Pty LtdAim
To understand the indicator and other bacteria present in Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems and the change in bacterial numbers through the treatment process stages. Assess the treatment and elimination of bacteria, prior to release to the environment. Understanding of Taylex’s treatment system Sampling of the Primary, Secondary, Aeration and Clarifier- Analyse the various bacteria strains present in the influent / liquid in each process / stage
- Analyse bacteria present
- Determine the effectiveness of bacteria elimination
- Determine bacteria still present following effluent.
- Assess the effectiveness of chlorine disinfection.
Summary
Provide a report on the bacteria within a Taylex domestic wastewater treatment system through the 5-stage treatment process, Primary, Secondary, Aeration, Clarification and Disinfection.
