What is the suitable speed and time to concentrate the bacteria in wastewater?

28 October 2018 1 943 Report

Hello everyone,

I need suggestions for the suitable condition to centrifuge the wastewater without damaging cells of enteric bacteria such as Salmonella, LIsteria, or Campylobacter?

Thank you in advance
