Are they getting paid by the hour to clean the water? If so, the company will go broke... it'll take them forever to clean up 1 cm^3...

The first rotifer looked like it was either dead or sleeping, and the second was moving around like it was trapped & frantically trying to escape & couldn't. Wow. Interesting.

This video is awesome. I am a process engineer who has recently been asked to take charge of our ETP. It treats coke plant effluent- coke as in coke ovens. Looks like it is in a mess. Can anyone help in training me?

sure is, it stacks de flocculated stuff way to high!

@ripariaorg Are you a process engineer at a plant?

Thank you su much

The bacteria in the background is Thiothrix (filamentous sulfur-accumulating bacteria). The bukling was a consequence of nutrient disbalance and lack of oxygen in aeration tank.

I'll have to disagree. Filamentous bulking is a pain in the ass.
im just curious... but is that stringy stuff hair? or something else?

The stringy stuff are filamentous bacteria (Thiothrix sp.), if abundant, they cause bulking and problems during the technological process
