This powerpoint presentation provides the following overview of the project:
many of the solutions and problems in environmental
management have developed from black box
models;
new technologies have enabled us to investigate
the fundamentals of these processes;
a number of recent findings illustrate the potential
of this approach;
this requires us to re-think our processes and re-evaluate
our solutions; and,
there are implications for a wide range of
industries including water. Implications for the water industry include:
new insights are producing new
technologies for water, these are in
part being driven by the needs of the
industry, such as:
lower operating costs;
lower capital costs;
increased regulation;
new technology adoption; incremental changes are getting harder to
achieve;
many technologies are mature, even
membranes!;
linear thinking is not an option; and, the next phase of technologies will come
from outside the traditional water industry. Topics covered include: impact of bacteria; biofilm properties; biofilm development, the microcolony
model; biofilm management and dispersal; novel biofilm control strategy; quorum sensing blockers; granules, specialized
biofilms; applications of biotechnology; nanotechnology; pathogens -
new insights, rapid detection and
new control measures; and, making nano materials into
macroprocesses. Includes figures.
