How do I know if the Archaea is doing its job?
Success is gauged on both qualitative and quantitative results. Qualitative results include items such as: physically measuring reductions in sludge, physical characteristics of the sludge, activity on the surface of the lagoon (eruptions, bubbling and foam), odor reduction, and changes in water clarity. The quantitative results are based upon laboratory analysis, and depending upon the type of application, the tests conducted vary. Laboratory testing is normally conducted on a quarterly basis.
