Filamentous micro-organisms in industrial plants
Filamentous
bulking is still a serious problem in numerous industrial activated sludge
plants. During a
six year (1998-2004), EU sponsored research program about 80 filamentous
micro-organisms were observed in industrial sludges, many completely unknown so
far. The samples originated from 175 treatment plants, covering a wide range of
industrial sectors.
Every
month one of these filamentous organisms will be presented on this website in a
Pdf file. The information provided includes their morphological features, a
photo and, when available, which probes should be used for identification
through FISH, their nutritional requirements and control options. The complete
results are summarized on a CD-ROM entitled "Identification and control of
filamentous micro-organisms in industrial wastewater treatment plants (see 'our
products' for ordering info).
