Service | Analysis
Econvert offers various analysis for customers who have a decrease in reactor performance or customers who want to test the degradability of their wastewater. These analysis can help to determine the problem of the decrease in reactor performance or to determine if the available wastewater is suitable for anaerobic wastewater treatment.

Anaerobic sludge activity analysis
- Determine the quality of anaerobic sludge
- Determine possible inhibition of the biomass
- Determine the sludge activity with different substrates
- Determine the average granular diameter, settling velocity and the quantity of floating sludge

Toxicity analysis
- Determine the inhibitory effect of wastewater or substrates on the anaerobic sludge
- Feeding the wastewater or substrate to good quality sludge during an anaerobic test
- Measuring the amount of produced methane and sludge activity

GC-MC analysis
- Indicate the type of inhibiting component(s) present in the wastewater or anaerobic sludge
- Wastewater or anaerobic sludge is extracted and analyzed using gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry
- Analysis focusses on the separation of volatile organic compounds

Anaerobic degradability analysis
- Determine if certain wastewater streams can be anaerobically degraded
- Determine the quantity of COD and percentage of COD that is anaerobically degradable
- Measuring the biogas production during anaerobic degradation
- Analyzing possible short-term toxic effects on anaerobic sludge
