Funded Activity Summary

Causes of and Cures for Microbiological Foams in Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plants. Little is known of the true diversity of the bacteria causing foaming in activated sludge systems, or why and how they cause these foams. This application seeks funds for an interdisciplinary approach to address these issues, involving input from microbiologists and surface chemists and physicists. Molecular techniques will be used to determine precisely the foaming bacterial communities and their physiology, while their surface chemistry and organisation will be studied to understand the mechanisms involved in foaming with the intention of developing control strategies for this global problem suitable for large scale application.
