A practical, hands-on guide to using the microscope to analyze
activated sludge in wastewater treatment
The microscope provides the wastewater treatment plant operator with a special tool for process control and troubleshooting of the activated sludge process. The operator can "read" the organisms and use them as "bioindicators" to determine if operational conditions are acceptable or not acceptable. Written for plant operators and technicians and avoiding unnecessary technical jargon, Microscopic Examination of the Activated Sludge Process explores and explains:

techniques
- Directions for preparing and applying microbiological stains
and immobilizing agents and techniques for preparing wet mounts and
smears
- How to identify various types of organisms, including: floc
particles and foam; protozoa; rotifers; worms and worm-like
organisms; crustaceans; filamentous organisms; and algae and
