6.2.2 Sampling

To ensure accurate system monitoring and the validity of laboratory test data, samples must be
collected as outlined below. These are only recommended guidelines. It is imperative that
scheduled testing protocols are performed in compliance with local regulatory agency
requirements. Composite samples of the MBR systems may need to be sent out to a certified
laboratory for testing, based on the local regulatory requirements.

* If MLVSS /MLSS ratio of a minimum of 0.7 is detected, MLVSS testing can be done
periodically, on an "as required" basis.
**The effluent should be routinely checked for any signs of problem. Normally, the effluent is
reasonably clear, colourless, and odourless. If the effluent becomes turbid, testing should be
carried out required.
