Aim of the Webinar
The aim of the webinar is to give the participants an initial overview of the VIT® gene probe technology and its possible applications and to demonstrate the usefulness of microbiological wastewater monitoring. This is made possible by the following three main topics:
- LECTURE 1: Insights into the microbial biocenosis of wastewater
Why systematically analyze microorganisms? Why is the microscopic image not enough? Insights into the composition and functionality of the biocenosis in biological wastewater treatment plants. (Dr. Jiri Snaidr)
- LECTURE 2: The VIT® gene probe technology: How it works, advantages and possible applications
How does the VIT® gene probe technology work, what advantages does it offer and how can it be used? (Carolin Richly)
- LECTURE 3: With VIT® to a stable and sustainable wastewater treatment plant
In which fields of application is VIT® used to control biology? How does VIT® help to optimize the wastewater treatment plant? (Dr. Jiri Snaidr)
Current practical examples from biological and industrial wastewater treatment plants serve to illustrate the possible applications, in particular with the aims of preventing malfunctions, optimizing degradation processes, combating bulking and floating sludge and saving precipitants.
Role of the Wastewater Biocoenosis
Why Analyze the Microbiology of Wastewater?
Whether within nitrification, biological phosphate elimination or the control of bulking and floating sludge - the integration of systematic monitoring of microorganisms enables targeted action and provides information on the effectiveness of the measures taken. This avoids increased efforts to solve problems, reduces chemical quantities and the associated costs, and significantly increases the overall safety and degradation performance of the plant.
Especially in times when global supply chain problems lead to chemical bottlenecks and environmental conditions require a more sustainable approach, the search for innovative methods to make cleaning processes more efficient and comply with discharge values is particularly important. Microbiological wastewater monitoring has been a proven and sustainable solution for three decades.
