Drinking water and wastewater operations must contend with cellular colonies — biofilms. This book provides the first, in-depth assessment of current and experimental methods for studying biofilms, both in sample form and insitu. It reveals how sensors, microscopy, lasers, and calorimetry can obtain data on morphology and metabolism of biofilms. This techniques are applied to the practical problems confronting environmental engineers — control of corrosion and biofouling and the improvement of the performance of fixed-film bioreactors in wastewater treatment.
