¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Biological Activity Reaction Tests
¡¡¡¡A simple yet effective method for
monitoring the population size and/or
activity of specific groups or bacteria.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡Originally designed for the diagnosis of
biofouled wells ,BARTTM now has
many other applications, including:
¡¡¡¡¡¤Cooling Towers and Heat Exchangers,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Drinking-Water Well Drilling,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Farms and Private Wells,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Hazardous Waste Treatment Facilities,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Municipal Water Treatment (Drinking and
Waste waters)
¡¡¡¡¡¤Petroleum: Oil Field Drilling and
Refining,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Pools and Spas,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Power Plant Utilities,
¡¡¡¡¡¤Process Water (Manufacturing),
¡¡¡¡¡¤Pulp and Paper Plants.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡TYPES OF BARTTM TESTERS
¡¡¡¡With BARTTM ,you can monitor for Iron
Related Bacteria (IRB), Sulfate Reducing
Bacteria (SRB), and Heterotrophic Aerobic
Bacteria (HAB)-the three most important
agents involved in biofouling. These
bacteria can cause corrosion, clogging,
fouling of the water, and increased hygiene
risks, so it is important to have an easy
and accurate method of determining their
presence and level of activity.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡HOW THE BARTTM TEST WORKS
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¤EASY TO READ
¡¡¡¡¡¤CAN DO THE TESTS IN THE FIELD
¡¡¡¡¡¤GIVES BACTERIAL AGGRESSIVITY
¡¡¡¡EASY TO USE
¡¡¡¡The BARTTM tester requires no microscope,
no laboratory, no incubator!
The test is done at room temperature in your
office or treatment room, on a desk, shelf,
or in a cupboard and is viewed daily.
Different microorganisms like to grow at
various heights in a column of water to
which nutrients have been added. BARTTM
testers contain nutrients in the base of the
column and a ball. The ball restricts the
amount of oxygen entering the water column
so that aerobic organisms grow around the
ball and anerobic organisms grow deep down
in the water column. By changing the
nutrients in the base of the column
different organisms can be encouraged to
grow. BARTTM determines presence and
activity levels.
¡¡¡¡EASY TO ANALYZE
¡¡¡¡The time taken for a color change
(reaction) to occur gives a measure of the
population size and activity . A color
change occurs in the BARTTM tube as a result
of the oxygen gradient diffusing from the
bottom upward. The change of color indicates
a presence of bacteria within that sample.
Interpretation information is provided with
the kit.
¡¡¡¡THE TEST
¡¡¡¡Full instructions for the use of BARTTM
biodetectors are included with your
purchase. Each individual test consists of :
¡¡¡¡Test vial with media and BARTTM ball,
¡¡¡¡Outer tube for spill containment, odor
control, and disposal.
¡¡¡¡Each BARTTM test is color coded for quick
and easy recognition:
¡¡¡¡RED- Iron
related Bacteria - IRB - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡BLACK -
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria - SRB - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡BLUE-
Heterotrophic Aerobic Bacteria - HAB -
BARTTM
¡¡¡¡LIME GREEN-
Slime Forming Bacteria - SLYM - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡DARK GREEN-
Micro - Algae - ALGE - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡YELLOW-
Fluorescent Pseudomonas - FLOR - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡GREY- Denitrifying Bacteria - DN - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡WHITE - Nitrifying Bacteria - N - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡PURPLE- Acid
Producing Bacteria - APB - BARTTM
¡¡¡¡IN DEVELOPMENT
¡¡¡¡BART-READERTM - Computer Assisted BARTTM
system; an automated system to provide
enhanced information and also for extensive
BARTTM use.
¡¡¡¡COLI-BARTTM - A simple 24 hour test for
determining Total and Fecal Coliform
Bacteria.
¡¡¡¡BOD-BARTTM - An easy 24 hour test for BOD.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡DEFINE THE PROBLEM-IMPLEMENT THE
SOLUTION SIMPLE!
¡¡¡¡Establish control and management.
¡¡¡¡Only when the type and extent of the
bacteria is defined can proper treatment of
your problem begin. BARTTM testers are a
valuable tool for diagnosis and management.
They are simple to use, require no elaborate
or costly equipment, and no specialized
training. They are effective and affordable.
¡¡¡¡BARTTMS are also available in the more
economical laboratory format (LAB-BARTTM ).
¡¡¡¡Septic Waste and Sewage
¡¡¡¡The Tests
¡¡¡¡Sludge, nightsoil, septic wastes and
sewage all possess high organic loadings and
present both pollution and hygiene risks.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡Common Signs of Microbial Sewage &
Septic Problems
¡¡¡¡¡¤Failure to reduce BOD
¡¡¡¡¡¤Unacceptable odors
¡¡¡¡¡¤Equipment failure due to plugging or
corrosion
¡¡¡¡¡¤Erratic performance
¡¡¡¡Measure Aggressivity
¡¡¡¡The shorter the time to a positive test,
the more aggressive the bacteria are in the
sample. If future samples show a shorter
time lag ( getting faster ) - the bacteria
are becoming more aggressive. If the time
lag lengthens then the bacteria are becoming
less aggressive. Routine use of the BART
tests allows the use to determine how
aggressive the bacteria are. This then aids
to optimize the effciency of the plant.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡DN
¡¡¡¡Denitrifying Bacteria will breakdown
nitrates indicating its removal from the
wastewater.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡HAB
¡¡¡¡Heterotrophic Aerobic Bacteria dominate in
aerobic treatment systems. It gives an
indication of how efficient the aerobic
treatment is by the aggressivity of the
bacteria.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡SRB
¡¡¡¡Sulfate Reducing Bacteria create corrosion
risks due to the protection of Hydrogen
sulfide.
