Gill G. Geesey 4/15/1994 Search this book Introduces the concept of biofilms and biological and chemical heterogeneity within biofilmsDiscusses how heterogeneity relates to localized reactions on surfaces and how it influences localized corrosionCompares biocide efficacy in suspended and attached microbial populations and covers the importance of using biofilms when establishing proper control strategiesDescribes new techniques to monitor biofilm-related phenomena on industrial surfaces
Biofouling and Biocorrosion in Industrial Water Systems presents the state-of-the-science on biofilm processes that relate to fouling corrosion of surfaces used in industrial systems. The book explores engineering and scientific approaches to the characterization and control of biofilm processes, and it introduces new developments in the analysis and understanding of microbial processes. Several chapters have been devoted to examining the new concept of biological and chemical heterogeneity in microbial biofilms and how this has altered the way biofilm behavior. is modeled.
