How Biofilms Form

Biofilms can cause a wide range of problems in building water systems, including cooling towers, decorative fountains, and domestic water. Problems include corrosion, fouling, reduced heat transfer, and contribute to Legionella growth. Effective biofilm control is key for safe, reliable, and efficient operation of water systems.

Good one, but I have a suggestion: the background music is too loud to hear the voice clear...

Biofilms are beneficial not harmful

[@chemaquamediainc]

Thank you for your input, Diaspora. Like most things in life, it all depends upon the circumstances. Biofilms on a metal surface within a piece of cooling equipment can lead to microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) that can shorten the equipment life and cause downtime, for example.

Do you think dental plaque is beneficial?

@@samuelbaldwin4104 dental plaque is not a biofilm
