Biological stability of drinking water refers to the concept of providing consumers with
drinking water of same microbial quality at the tap as produced at the water treatment facility …

The use of biologically activated carbon (BAC) in drinking water purification is reviewed. In
the past BAC is seen mostly as a polishing treatment. However, BAC has the potential to …

This review paper serves to describe the composition and activity of a biologically active
carbon (BAC) biofilm used in water purification. An analysis of several physical–chemical …

More stringent regulations on drinking water quality as well as an increased focus on
emerging contaminants has favored the development of alternative technologies to the …

Biodegradable organic matter (BOM), found in all surface waters, is a challenge for drinking
water utilities because it can lead to distribution system bio-regrowth, react to form …

Indigenous bacteria are essential for the performance of drinking water biofilters, yet this
biological component remains poorly characterized. In the present study we followed biofilm …

Biofilter is one of the most important separation processes that can be employed to remove
organic pollutants from air, water, and wastewater. Even though, it has been used over a …

Many factors could account for the good performance of coal‐based GAC biofilters,
including the quantity of biomass attached to the media. A phospholipid analytical technique …

Under normal operation conditions, granular activated carbon (GAC) employed in drinking
water treatment plants (DWTPs) for natural organic matter (NOM) removal can be colonised …

The authors review key parameters and engineering variables influencing biological
filtration and identify areas requiring further research. Biological filtration, an important …
