Changes in biofilm composition and microbial water quality in drinking water distribution systems by temperature increase induced through thermal energy recovery

Drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) have been thoroughly studied, but the concept of thermal energy recovery from DWDSs is very new and has been conceptualized in the past few years. Cold recovery results in a temperature increase of the drinking water. Its effects on drinking water quality and biofilm development are unclear. Hence, we...

The influence of solutes on the properties of aqueous solutions and the impact on gas production

The effect solutes have on the properties of solvents. The properties of pure solutions (with no solvent in it), a non-electrolyte solution and an electrolyte-solution are compared and discussed. Also a detailed information why these properties change.
