What kind of water requires the detection of coliform bacteria? Coliform bacteria need to be detected in multiple projects for drinking water and medical wastewater monitoring. For wastewater treatment work, we need to carry out enhanced disinfection to reduce the number of coliform bacteria in the wastewater, thereby providing an additional layer of safety for water quality!

What is the Entire Process of Wastewater Treatment Like?

Usually, it involves disinfection treatment for wastewater discharged from various enterprises (including medical wastewater) into the wastewater treatment plant. In medical wastewater, there is an indicator called “coliform bacteria”, and this indicator needs to be disinfected before it is discharged into the wastewater treatment plant. This is because many wastewater treatment plants do not have facilities to handle this indicator. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the water quality of each wastewater treatment plant meets the standard. Of course, in some special cases, such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the end of 2019, enhanced disinfection work needs to be carried out, with a higher frequency and an appropriate increase in volume. That is, on the basis of ensuring the stability of the wastewater treatment water quality, the disinfection intensity is further strengthened to reduce the number of coliform bacteria in the water. During this process, the staff must strictly ensure the smooth operation of the wastewater collection, transportation, treatment, and testing work procedures.

How can One Know if the Coliform Bacteria Indicator in the Water is Qualified?

This requires the use of the WECT-900 Coliform Bacteria Online Analyzer to test the coliform bacteria in the water. After detecting the number of coliform bacteria, a comparison is made to determine if it is qualified. Once qualified, it can be discharged!
