What's inside

17Ammonia

Low DO, low alkalinity, foam, septic tanks, start-up, shock loads

7Nitrate

No anoxic tank, recycle rate, carbon, rising sludge

6Phosphate

PAC or ferric, pH drops, batch plants, sludge build-up

5Other issues

Lab vs test kit, operators, power cuts, plants that still fail

Questions it answers

  • Our DO is high. Why is ammonia still failing?
  • The pH keeps dropping. What do we add, and where?
  • The plant passed for months, then failed. What changed?
  • Chlorine killed our bacteria. How do we restart?
  • Ammonia passes but nitrate fails. Why?
  • How fast should the recycle pump run?
  • Sludge is floating in the clarifier. What do we do?
  • Phosphate passes at the clarifier but fails at the outlet. Why?

Who it's for

STP operators who run the plant every day and need to know what to do when a reading goes wrong.

Pollution Control Officers who get the call when the DENR result fails.

Owners and facility managers who want to understand what is happening in their own tanks.

Already failing?

Send us your last lab result and your incoming ammonia, if you have it. We'll tell you which part of your plant is failing. No charge for that conversation.
