Fastidious bacteria in potable water
2004
Vasiljevic, B. | Grasic, S.(JKP 'Vodovod', Krusevac (Serbia and Montenegro))
Advancement in microbiology reveals new potentially pathogenic water borne microorganisms. Because of inconvenient water works, World Health Organization and legislators necessarily standardize guidelines and codes for potable water examination. Water works with safe water treatments and distribution systems obey the rules of routine control, and that is why they do not recognize more sophisticated sides of microbiological water quality. From that point of view, poorly studied slow growing chemoorganotrophic bacteria resistent to environmental conditions are interesting.

The paper presents the results of a pilot study of the combined process of ozonation and filtration through biologically activated carbon to remove residual organic matter in the process of drinking water production. It was established that the application of these procedures resulted in the removal in average of 74% PB, 50% TOC, 60% of total aldehydes, and 54% PFTHM, the result being a consequence of the adsorption/biosorption processes involved.
