Unlock the full potential of your wastewater system with the Microanalysis & Filament Origins Test from Aquafix. Designed for municipal and industrial facilities, this comprehensive wastewater testing service goes beyond surface-level analysis. It identifies not only operational issues like bulking, foaming, and poor settling, but also uncovers the root causes behind them. With rapid turnaround and expert interpretation, this test delivers actionable insights that help facilities maintain optimal performance and regulatory compliance.
In just 48 hours, operators receive a detailed report featuring precise filament identification, EPS identification, and a full breakdown of floc structure, sludge age, and higher lifeforms. Our in-house microbiologists analyze the mixed liquor sample to assess biomass quality, track early signs of toxicity, and detect any imbalances affecting system performance. This data helps wastewater professionals troubleshoot ongoing problems and implement preventative treatments that protect wastewater bugs and keep biological systems thriving.
This test is especially valuable for upset recovery, long-term health monitoring, and facilities that want to improve settling, reduce solids carryover, or maintain a healthy, balanced microbial population. Whether you’re trying to track treatment progress or diagnose a recurring issue, the Microanalysis & Filament Origins Test is your frontline tool for strategic wastewater troubleshooting.
Aquafix’s testing process is straightforward and fast. Simply send in a sample of your mixed liquor and receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report with recommendations tailored to your unique system.
