Turbidity and Suspended Solids

The Turbidity test uses a specially calibrated plastic tube. Test kit SP 304 includes a tube graduated at 30 to 500 turbidity units.

The Royal Commission Standards for Effluents recommend that the suspended solids content of sewage effluent should not be more than 30 mg/l.

Temperature

Effluent discharge should always be close to ambient temperatures.

Coliforms

The coliform test is carried out by taking a sample of your sewage effluent and adding Sodium Thiosulphate and readycult. Once thoroughly shaken, you incubate the sample for 24 hours and 35°C.
You then check for a colour change in the effluent sample, a change to blue/green indicates a presence of coliforms. Log result as present or absent.

Bacterial Plates

Take a small 1ml effluent sample and place it on the bacterial plate. Incubate the sample at 35°C for 48 hours and simply count the number of red colonies on the plates surface. You are looking for a result less than 100/250 CFU/ml depending on the vessel.

Free Chlorine

Take a sample of your sewage effluent, add a crushed DPD 1 tablet and comparing the sample effluent against the chlorine comparator disc.

Permanganate
Value (PV)

The Permanganate Value test is a test for indicating the general quality of final effluents as to its acceptability for discharge.
PV of 0-10 = Excellent
PV of 10-20 = Satisfactory
PV of 20-30 = Dubious
PV of over 30 = Unsatisfactor

PH test

The pH test is carried out with a Universal pH test tablet and a comparator wheel. The pH of final effluents should also fall within the 6 to 8.

Bacterial Plates

To convert the Permanganate Value (PV) for domestic sewage and effluent to probable BOD, COD and TOC values multiply by the following factors.
The probable BOD can be calculated from the result of the turbidity test using the following formula:
Probable BOD = Turbidity/2 + 5;
The Royal Commission Standard for Effluents recommends a BOD value of not more than 20 mg/l.
