We developed a on-line Respirometer that utilizes a patented principle of measuring O2 consumption in gaseous stage in the head space of the bioreactor instead of immersed dissolved O2 probes, utilized in most other designs. Although the advantages of measuring head space gas exchanges are numerous, the most important advantage is the separation of the O2 sensor from the aggressive media of sludge or wastewater and therefore, avoiding the sensor๏ฟฝs damage or contamination. Besides measuring O2 consumption, there is the possibility of measuring additional gases evolved from the wastewater or sludge such as CO2 and H2S. The principle of Respirometer is based on measuring the respiration of bacteria culture in the form of the fixed film attached to ceramic granules. This bacterial culture is alternatively exposed to clean water to measure background respiration and to waste water to measure the increase of O2 consumption due to available nutrients.
