Sludge Volume Index
Parameter
Ratio between the volume of settled sludge and total suspended solids (SVI).
Method
Measurement of setlled volume and divided by TSS content.
Application
Indicates settleability.
Visual assessment of non-organics
Parameter
Determination of non-organic compounds in samples.
Method
Manual detection and selection.
Application
Preliminary test to quantify non-organic impurities in waste samples.
Selection test
Parameter
Fraction analysis in samples.
Method
Manual determination of different fractions in a sample, including <5mm, plastics, textiles, inerts and the organic fraction.
Application
Used to quantify non-organic impurities in waste samples.
