Facility Security

SDI's Microtox® technology is designed:

• to ensure no surprises,
• provide preventative value by identifying 'difficult to treat' incoming waste streams,
• and to assist in problem diagnostics at wastewater, industrial and municipal facilities

In addition, the Microtox® technology is an ASTM Standard Method for determining toxicity of aqueous wastes before and after biological treatment. So trust in Microtox® and reduce the potential of permit violations due to discharging non-conforming treated effluent.

Level of Expertise

Since 1979, wastewater treatment plants have used Microtox® Acute Toxicity Test results to:

• help assure compliance with NPDES toxicity limits
• measure toxicity in influent streams
• determine treatment efficiency in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants
• monitor treatment processes from the raw influent to final effluent

And due to this advanced and evolving technology, Microtox® is easy to use and requires minimal training for an experienced analyst. In addition, SDI provides onsite training.
