societeTCB™ Total Control

biological wastewater treatment

How and Where is this product used?

Total Control for Biological Wastewater Treatment (TCBT) products are designed for wastewater treatment facilities. TCB can be used to obtain information on biomass concentration and health at any location, including:

  1. Aerobic Reactors
  2. Anaerobic Reactors
  3. Activated Sludge
  4. Disinfection Systems
  1. Selector (Anoxic) Reactors
  2. Bioreactor Effluent / Decant
  3. Clarifier Effluent
  4. Process Influent

What do the results mean?

ATP is a critical component to all life on Earth. TCB products measure Total and Extracellular ATP separately to gain direct knowledge of active biomass energy (cATPT), health (BSIT), and active biomass solids (ABRT). Use the results to improve process performance by managing process variables to optimize biomass concentration and health.

Detection Range

TCB test kits are optimized to detect Biomass Energy Levels between 1.0 to 20,000 ng ATP/mL, Biomass Stress Levels between 0 to 100 %, and Active Biomass Ratios between 0 to 100 % using standard procedures.
