Many desalination plants still struggle to control biological fouling in seawater reverse
osmosis (SWRO) systems as there are no standard methods to monitor this type of fouling …

The bacterial growth potential is important to understand and manage bacterial regrowth-
related water quality concerns. Bacterial growth potential depends on growth …

The performance of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes involves
complex interactions between water chemistries and properties of the membrane as …

The use of traditional drinking water microbial quality monitoring methods, including
heterotrophic plate counts (HPCs) and total coliform counts, are not only laborious and time …

abstract The use of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to monitor bacterial growth potential of
seawater is currently not possible as ATP cannot be accurately measured at low …

Even a cursory perusal of any analytical journal will demonstrate the increasing important of
trace and ultra-trace analysis. And as instrumentation continues to develop, the definition of …

Seawater desalination is increasingly being used as a means to augment freshwater
supplies in regions with high water stress, and reverse osmosis is increasingly the …

Assimilable organic carbon (AOC) is one of the important parameters internationally
recognized to assess the biostability of water. Studies at home and abroad on the AOC …

Organic pollution is a major concern during drinking water treatment. Major challenges
attributed to organic pollution include the proliferation of pathogenic micro-organisms …

Membrane biofouling is a complicated process and can include both abiotic and biotic
fouling. The objective of this research was to determine the contribution of conditioning layer …
