The groundwater that St. John the Baptist Parish in southern Louisiana supplies to residents has been high in organic material and color. Options available for rapid and accurate microbiological water testing are very limited. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy transfer molecule for all living cells on Earth and therefore its measur...

In this study, it was shown that proactive biological monitoring using advanced ATP was able to guide mitigation strategies and optimize design modifications for improved plant operation and water quality. Design changes were made to lower microbial content and enhance biostability resulting in better chlorine residual maintanence. The operational ...

Implementation of biological monitoring effectively reducing fouling and cleaning events which reduced cost and provided greater stability....
