Wastewater

Wastewater treatment plants rely heavily on the microbial communities that drive processes like anaerobic digestion and activated sludge treatment. Monitoring these microbial communities is crucial for optimizing plant performance and maintaining system health. At Cmbio, we offer research and monitoring solutions that provide real-time insights into the microbiological health of wastewater treatment plants, enabling more efficient and sustainable management.

Our Expertise in Wastewater Microbiome Monitoring

We offer specialized services to help you track and optimize the microbial activity in wastewater treatment plants.

 

Subscription-Based LR 16S Sequencing

Our long-read 16S sequencing service provides continuous monitoring of wastewater treatment plants, with sequencing conducted every two weeks. The microbiome is the single best predictor of treatment plant health, allowing you to track microbial shifts that impact facility efficiency. Through our subscription model, clients receive regular insights into key microbial taxa and functions via an intuitive interactive app, where the most critical indicators of plant health are clearly highlighted. This tool is particularly suited for plants with anaerobic digesters or activated sludge systems.

AMR and Pathogens Surveillance and Monitoring

Wastewater can be a reservoir for pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. With our omics data you can track the presence and spread of AMR genes and pathogens in wastewater systems, providing data for risk management and regulatory compliance. By monitoring these elements, we help you identify potential health threats and maintain safer wastewater treatment operations.

Metabolomics for Pollutant Breakdown Monitoring

We can offer metabolomics panels to monitor the presence and breakdown of organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater. By analyzing microbial metabolic by-products, we help you understand pollutant removal processes to help optimize treatment strategies for the removal of harmful chemicals and environmental contaminants.

Source Tracking for Contaminants

In situations where microbial contamination is an issue, we offer source tracking services to identify the origins of microbial within wastewater streams. This can be used to locate sources of contamination and determine whether they are from industrial runoff, agriculture, or other inputs, helping to target interventions more effectively.
