Imaging particle analysis system

Fluid Imaging Technologies has introduced a new patent-pending application for its dynamic imaging particle analysis system, FlowCAM®. A WWTP in Augusta, Ga., used the instrument to monitor methanogens in its anaerobic digestion process to find a correlation with methane production. The effectiveness of this process is determined by the methanogen population, and improving it could lead to increased production and cost reductions. The study showed there may be a correlation between the bacilli-shaped microorganisms imaged by FlowCAM and methane production. The basic morphology and frequency of testing through this image analysis allows for effective population dynamic studies.
