Bioelectronic system of monitoring the quality of gas emissions of a wastewater sludge incineration plant

Summary

In 2010 the Russian Academy of Sciences Research and Development Centre for Environmental Safety in St. Petersburg (RASRDCES) under the contract with GUP St. Petersburg Vodokanal developed and commissioned a bioelectronic system of monitoring gas emissions of the incineration plant where the sludge from the South-West wastewater treatment facilities was subject to incineration. As a result an indigenous biological monitoring station was developed and commissioned that was based on the long-term real-time monitoring of the functional status of the biological indicators, i. e. pulmonary shellfish – Achatina fulica and Achatina achatina giant African snails. The station provides for continuous in-process monitoring the dynamics of gas emissions of the wastewater sludge incineration plant with the help of the bioelectronic system based on the developed in RASRDCES noninvasive methods of monitoring the functional status of the shellfish that is acting as a biological indicator.
