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 …

Interfacial materials with special wettability have become a burgeoning research area in
materials science in the past decade. The unique surface properties of materials and …

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods
of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial …

The biological clogging of natural porous media, often in conjunction with physical or
chemical clogging, is encountered under a wide range of conditions. Wastewater disposal …

Densities of fixed bacterial biomass were measured on different pipe materials (PVC, PE,
cemented steel, asbestos-cement, cemented cast iron, tarred steel and grey iron) incubated …

The effects of pipe materials on biofilm formation potential (BFP) and microbial communities
in biofilms were analyzed. Pipe coupons made of six different materials (CU, copper; CP …

In this project we studied the microbiological quality of soft pipeline deposits removed from
drinking water distribution networks during mechanical cleaning. Drinking water and deposit …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the necessity of measuring both assimilable
organic carbon (AOC) and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) as indicators of …

The formation of biofilm on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE) and stainless steel
surfaces was studied in bank infiltrated and chemically purified waters without (control …

Biofilms affect the lives of all of us, growing as they do for example on our teeth (as plaque),
on catheters and medical implants in our bodies, on our boats and ships, in food processing …
