(author)Phosphate limitation has been suggested as a preventive method against biofilms. P-limited feed water was studied as a preventive strategy against biofouling in cooling towers (CTs). Three pilot-scale open recirculating CTs were operated in parallel for five weeks. RO permeate was fed to the CTs (1) without supplementation (reference), (2)...journal article 2020

El Chakhtoura, J. (author), Saikaly, Pascal E. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Vrouwenvelder, J.S. (author)We sampled the tap water of seven unique, full-scale drinking water distribution systems at different locations as well as the corresponding treatment plant effluents to evaluate the impact of distribution and the potential presence of a core drinking water microbiome. The water was also sampled during network flushing to examine its effect on...journal article 2018

Prest, E.I.E.D. (author), Weissbrodt, D.G. (author), Hammes, F (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Vrouwenvelder, J.S. (author)Large seasonal variations in microbial drinking water quality can occur in distribution networks, but are often not taken into account when evaluating results from short-term water sampling campaigns. Temporal dynamics in bacterial community characteristics were investigated during a two-year drinking water monitoring campaign in a full-scale...journal article 2016
