Sewage treatment plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological environment. At present, the methods commonly used for sewage treatment can be summarized into physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods. The physical method is often applied as a pretreatment method to wastewater treatment; the chemical treatment method is a process in which a chemical agent such as alum is added to the wastewater to chemically react with the pollutant to form a harmless substance; The treatment of sewage is mainly based on the decomposition of microorganisms to convert the organic matter in the sewage into simple inorganic substances, so that the sewage can be purified. Compared with physical and chemical methods, microbial treatment has the advantages of economy and high efficiency, and can achieve harmlessness and resource utilization, so it has always occupied an important position.

In wastewater treatment, microbiological monitoring can not only analyze the pollution status and the basis of water quality testing, but also indicate the effectiveness of activated sludge. According to the biological characteristics of protozoa and their species, quantity and activity under different environmental conditions. Through the analysis of its composition and quantity, it gives useful information for the activated sludge treatment process.

For the monitoring of microorganisms in sewage treatment, the automatic colony counting analysis software, microscopic image analysis system software, algae intelligent identification counting software and zooplankton counting software in the M500 multi-function biomonitor can help to complete the target. Observation, counting, analysis and monitoring of bacteria, algae, protozoa, rotifers, crustaceans, etc. in the above sewage treatment.

1 application of bacterial detection

At present, the current national water quality standards mainly use total coliforms or fecal coliforms as biological indicators, and there are various pathogenic microorganisms in the sewage. For example: Salmonella, Shigella, mold, yeast, Toxoplasma, and the like. The amount of bacteria in the activated sludge is about 108 to 109 cells/mL. The most common dominant populations are: Alcaligenes, Bacillus, Flavobacterium, followed by Nocardia, nitrifying bacteria, Escherichia coli, and the like. In the detection of sewage bacteria, the main methods used are pouring method flat plate, coating method flat plate, filter film flat plate, air sedimentation flat plate and the like. The rapid colony counting software can support the above-mentioned various types of colony plates.

2 application of microbiological microscopy

In the sewage treatment plant laboratory, the microbiological microscopy project is one of the projects that have received increasing attention in recent years. The counting and observation of microorganisms, especially the observation of indicator microorganisms, is particularly important. Indicative microorganisms are microorganisms that are easy to microscopically observe in sewage treatment and have a good reflection of the state of activated sludge. Due to the different processes of the sewage treatment plant and the different raw materials of the incoming sewage, the dominant microorganisms in the various processes of each plant are also different. The microorganisms in the activated sludge are mainly bacteria, protozoa and algae, in addition to fungi and pathogens. Bacteria in microorganisms are the protagonists of the decomposition of organic matter, and secondly, protozoa also have a certain decomposition effect. The Fast Multi-Function Bio Monitor is equipped with a powerful microscopic image analysis system that helps users to observe and count microorganisms in sewage and activated sludge.

3 algae observation and counting application

With the intensification of human activities, industrial wastewater, domestic sewage and nutrient elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus have entered the water body in large quantities, leading to eutrophication of water bodies, causing algae, especially some planktonic algae, to multiply and form blooms or red tides. And human life has a serious impact [4] . Therefore, the role of algae in biological monitoring has received increasing attention. As a primary producer of ecosystems, algae has made great contributions to water quality monitoring and wastewater treatment. It can sensitively and accurately detect changes in the external environment. According to the characteristics of the species and quantity of aquatic algae, the pollution of water bodies can be judged. At the same time, in sewage treatment, algae can absorb and remove harmful substances in sewage and purify water.
