Seeing what other tests can’t: How EPCOR used ATP monitoring to strengthen drinking water operations
For drinking water utilities, keeping biologically stable water all the way to the customer’s tap is a daily challenge. Even with strong treatment processes, changes in temperature, flow, or stagnation can trigger microbial regrowth inside the distribution system. Traditionally, operators have relied on heterotrophic plate counts (HPCs) and disinfectant residuals to flag issues, but these […]

Am I missing something? A look into the dangers of viable but nonculturable cells (VBNC)
For over a century, lab technicians for water treatment facilities have turned to culturable plate counts as their main weapon in quantifying the bacterial count for a system.
Why won’t total microbial content decrease after UV treatment?
Compared to chlorine, which destroys the cell membrane, UV treatment is a physical process where UV light mutates and/or degrades DNA and RNA in bacterial and viral cells.
