   Abstract : The anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) is a wastewater treatment process that has shown effective for the treatment of industrial wastewaters. As the AnMBBR is a biofilm process, nutrients, products, etc. must be transported through the biofilm. The thickness of the biofilm may, therefore, impact the process. READ MORE

3. 2. Biofilm growth in strong electric fields

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för bioteknologi (BIO)

   Author : Janne Eriksson; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Bacterial surface associated communities, so called biofilms, located on the inside of drinking water distribution pipes, are believed to be responsible for lowering the drinking water quality by releasing bacteria into the water stream. As there were some indications that a strong electric field along the pipes inner walls could deter and possibly kill bacteria trying to adhere to the surface, it was the aim of this thesis to investigate that effect and its possible application in tap water.
