When a water sample is analysed for microbial load, parameters such as TPC (Total Plate Count) or TVC (Total Viable Count) indicate the overall bacterial population but do not differentiate the type of bacteria present. To understand biological activity in the water body, it is critical to distinguish aerobic versus anaerobic bacterial populations, as this directly influences natural sludge reduction and nutrient cycling, particularly phosphorus removal.
The availability of dissolved oxygen (DO) in water, typically around 20.5% in equilibrium with atmospheric oxygen, is influenced by the water’s structural and biochemical state. Water with high sludge content tends to exhibit poor mixing and reduced coherence at a microscopic level, which can limit oxygen diffusion and inhibit aerobic microbial activity. By contrast, structured or coherent water facilitates better oxygen availability, similar to natural phenomena observed in lake ice formation, where freezing promotes organized water matrices and enhances DO distribution upon thawing.
Grander Water Revitalisation is a water treatment system designed to enhance water coherence and support aerobic biological processes. The system applies a physical structuring process that promotes a more coherent water matrix, resulting in:
Enhanced alignment of water molecules, improving diffusion dynamics.
Increased effective dissolved oxygen availability throughout the water body.
Encouragement of aerobic microbial proliferation, which naturally accelerates sludge decomposition.
Demonstrated improvement in sludge reduction efficiency, with field observations reporting up to 91% enhancement in biological sediment breakdown.
In summary, Grander Water Revitalisation supports water quality by improving microstructural coherence, enhancing DO dynamics, and promoting natural aerobic processes, thereby assisting in sustainable sludge and nutrient management without chemical additives.
