The testing method comprises obtaining a difference between: a sedimentation amount when a given period of time has elapsed after an activated sludge mixed liquid collected from the aeration tank and water having a higher dissolved oxygen concentration than the activated sludge mixed liquid are poured into the same container and mixed together; and a sedimentation amount when a period of time equal to the given period of time has elapsed after the activated sludge mixed liquid collected from the aeration tank and water having a lower dissolved oxygen concentration than the activated sludge mixed liquid are poured into the same container and mixed together.

A system and method of managing water in an evaporative cooling system includes one or a combination of three components. A first component is to purify incoming water to the target quality. A second component is to purify condenser loop water to the target quality. The choice of the technology may depend on the site specific environmental conditions determining the quality of the recirculated condenser water and may include (but not limited to) filtration allowing for meeting target quality parameters, such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, etc. A third component is to provide protection for the condenser loop hardware, preventing or reducing rate of corrosion, fouling, and scaling by adding chemicals to water in the system. The choice of the chemistry will depend on the site specific environmental and other system operating conditions

A method for treating domestic sewage includes: preliminarily treating the domestic sewage through a grating and a grit chamber, so as to remove large-particle solids in the domestic sewage; and subjecting the domestic sewage after the preliminary treatment to circulating anaerobic-oxic treatment in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). In the oxic treatment process, microorganisms oxidize nitrogen in the sewage into nitrite or nitrate. Under anaerobic conditions, denitrifying bacteria in the microorganisms reduce the nitrate, releasing molecular nitrogen or nitrous oxide. In the present invention, the MBR is filled with a quinone-based hollow fiber membrane. During the microbial denitrification, the quinone acts as an electron transfer carrier to participate in the denitrification to promote the reduction of the nitrate (nitrite), increasing the denitrification rate under anaerobic conditions, and achieving the purpose of efficient denitrification.
