METHOD FOR PREDICTING ABUNDANCE OF SPECIFIC MICROORGANISM IN SLUDGE AT SOME TIME POINT IN FUTURE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method whereby, when biological discharged water treatment equipment is newly started up, a suitable acclimatization period and an optimal load of the biological discharged water treatment equipment are predicted and the start-up of the biological discharged water treatment equipment is smoothly promoted. PSOLUTION: The method is for predicting the abundance of a specific microorganism in sludge at a some time point in future in biological discharged water treatment equipment for decomposing a processing object substance in discharged water. The method includes a measurement step for measuring the abundance of the specific microorganism in sludge at plural time points by using a real time PCR method, a calculation step for calculating a specific growth rate of the specific microorganism based on the abundance of the specific microorganism at plural time points, and a prediction step for predicting the abundance of the specific microorganism at a some time point in future based on the specific growth rate.
