Presented on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Biofilm development in water systems can create problems ranging from corrosion and losses in production, to degraded water quality and increased likelihood for harmful organisms to exist. Recent advances in technology allow a closer look and better understanding of the way biofilms form, the way they behave, and how best to control them. This session highlights some of the tools available for identifying and monitoring biofilms and discusses how effective evaluation can guide cleaning and disinfection efforts.
