Monitoring Microbial Health at Every Level
Microscopic Analysis Testing
Microscopy offers a window into the biological and physical makeup of your wastewater. By analyzing a sample under the microscope, we provide direct insights that help diagnose and correct issues before they escalate. EnviroZyme’s expert lab team evaluates:
- Floc structure – Size, shape, and density all impact settling, coagulation, and flocculation efficiency
- Larger, spherical flocs improve clarification and treatment
- Irregular or small flocs may indicate performance issues
- Filamentous bacteria – Presence and type of filaments affect sludge bulking and foam potential
- Knowing the exact type supports targeted treatment strategies
- Higher life forms – Protozoa, rotifers, and metazoans are key indicators of effluent health
- Overabundance or absence can signal imbalance or toxicity
- Diversity often correlates with ecosystem stability
- Bulk water quality – Free-living bacteria and inert materials (sand, silt, clay)
- Helps assess contamination risks, solids loading, and treatment impact

Causes and Cures for 6 Common Types of Foaming in Water Resource Recovery
Foaming is a pervasive problem that can occur in aeration tanks, secondary clarifiers, and anaerobic digesters. The consequences of foaming range from inconvenient to downright dangerous, making it crucial to prevent or otherwise correct foaming as efficiently as possible.
8 Must-Take Steps to Rectify Elevated Ammonia in Effluent
Permit effluent limits for ammonia are becoming more stringent, making its removal one of the most important and most difficult processes to maintain in water resource recovery.
Understanding the Impact of Filaments in Wastewater Treatment Plants
Filamentous bacteria grow in long thread-like strands in which cells do not separate from each other after cell division and grow in the form of filaments. Filaments can dominate in wastewater treatment systems, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
