Download or read book Water Well Rehabilitation written by Neil Mansuy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well rehabilitation techniques have been the focus of major advancements in recent times. Environmental engineers can keep pace with those changes with the book Water Well Rehabilitation. Written from a microbiological viewpoint, the text outlines proven solutions to production problems in all types of wells. That perspective frequently yields new ideas and concepts, contrary to prevalent thoughts in mainstream literature on the subject. This is especially true in discussion of iron related bacterial sources, and details concerning unsafe bacterial samples and the contamination of wells.

Download or read book Best Practice Guide on the Control of Iron and Manganese in Water Supply written by Adam Postawa and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Best Practice Guide on the Control of Iron and Manganese in Water Supply is one of a series produced by the International Water Association’s Specialist Group on Metals and Related Substances in Drinking Water. Iron and manganese are often found in soft upland water sources associated with natural organic matter and are also commonly found in the groundwater abstracted from confined and unconfined aquifers. The presence of iron and manganese in water is one of the most frequent reasons for customers’ complaint due to aesthetic issues (yellow, brown and black or stains on laundry and plumbing fixtures). These two metals can be removed fairly readily by physico-chemical treatment. The municipal treatment systems deployed derive benefit from their larger scale, particularly in relation to control, but the processes used are less suitable for the numerous small supplies that are the most common water supplies throughout Europe, especially in rural areas. One important source of iron in drinking water is from old corroded cast-iron water mains, historically the material used most commonly in supply networks. Replacement and refurbishment is very expensive and the major challenge is how best to prioritize available expenditure. The purpose for this Best Practice Guide on the Control of Iron and Manganese in Water Supply is to give readers the broad view of a problem based on state-of-the-art compilation of the range of scientific, engineering, regulatory and operational issues concerned with the control of iron and manganese in drinking water. The Guide is of interest to water utility practitioners, health agencies and policy makers, as well as students on civil engineering and environmental engineering courses. Authors: Dr Adam Postawa, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environment Protection, Krakow, Poland and Dr Colin R Hayes, University of Swansea, UK, Chair of IWA Specialist Group on Metals and Related Substances in Drinking Water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of articles published in this eBook represent different facets of the interactions between pathogens and their host concerning the battle for iron. Pathogens have developed different strategies to acquire iron from their host. These include the production of siderophores, heme acquisition and ferrous iron uptake.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biofouling refers to the accumulation of biofilm and biogenic precipitates on wetted surfaces and is one of the major problems associated with groundwater production. Groundwaters rich in ferrous iron (Fe(II)) are particularly susceptible to biofouling due to the low energetic yield of Fe(II) oxidation, which forces ironoxidizing bacteria to convert large quantities of soluble Fe(II) to insoluble ferric iron (Fe(III)) to sustain growth. Bacteria-specific viruses, known as bacteriophages or phages, are particularly promising for biofilm control given their specificity and ability to spread from one host cell to another. Phage therapy for biofilm control has been most successful with pure cultures and low-diversity bacterial communities. However, the applicability of phages to control mixed bacterial communities, in particular those of groundwater supply wells, remains largely unexplored. To assess whether phages constitute an effective alternative to treat well biofouling, the microbial communities of two biofouled wells were interrogated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Potential key species of iron bacteria (FeB) were identified and enriched by repeated subculturing in vii Modified Wolfe and Winogradsky media. Mixed phage suspensions were extracted by filtration from activated sludge, and this suspension was enriched against bacterial enrichment cultures developed from well water inocula. Batch tests showed a decrease in cell density and an impairment in iron redox cycling on well enrichment cultures when exposed to phage suspensions. Future work includes testing the phage suspensions against mixed biofilms of FeB, characterizing the specificity of these phage suspensions, and evaluating the impact of the phage on iron redox cycling under other culture conditions. Overall, this work is a first step toward a sustainable rehabilitation approach for biofouled wells.

Download or read book Nano Antimicrobials written by Nicola Cioffi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-26 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a high demand for antimicrobials for the treatment of new and emerging microbial diseases. In particular, microbes developing multidrug resistance have created a pressing need to search for a new generation of antimicrobial agents, which are effective, safe and can be used for the cure of multidrug-resistant microbial infections. Nano-antimicrobials offer effective solutions for these challenges; the details of these new technologies are presented here. The book includes chapters by an international team of experts. Chemical, physical, electrochemical, photochemical and mechanical methods of synthesis are covered. Moreover, biological synthesis using microbes, an option that is both eco-friendly and economically viable, is presented. The antimicrobial potential of different nanoparticles is also covered, bioactivity mechanisms are elaborated on, and several applications are reviewed in separate sections. Lastly, the toxicology of nano-antimicrobials is briefly assessed.

Download or read book Water Wells Monitoring Maintenance Rehabilitation written by P. Howsam and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-08-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, boreholes and tubewells operate inefficiently or have been abandoned. Diagnosis of the problems requires hydrogeological and operational information, which is often not available because appropriate monitoring has not taken place. Guidelines on cost effective monitoring and maintenance need to be established; information on successful rehabilitation techniques is needed. This book forms the proceedings of a conference organised to exchange practical experience and scientific knowledge on these aspects of water wells.
