Thoroughly enjoyed the @IWAHQ Biofilms 2022 Conference – Processes in Biofilms, Fundamentals to Applications in December. It was great to present my @CivilSheffield research on biofilm monitoring within drinking water systems.

@parsons_simon @sheffielduni @scottish_water Thank you Simon.

[Fran Pick @fran_pick]

Here is my #IWAPoster entitled “Why Manage Assimilable Organic Carbon Within Drinking Water?” in collaboration with @sheffielduni & @scottish_water. My poster highlights the link between organic carbon & the microbiology of drinking water. All comments and questions are welcome!

[Fran Pick @fran_pick]

@IWAUKYWP @sheffielduni @scottish_water The AOC fraction of organics is small, representing 0.1-8.5 % of DOC, & is made up of low molecular weight organics. However, it’s really important to measure AOC as it is the fraction of carbon most easily consumed by bacteria, facilitating microbial growth in drinking water.

Here is my #IWAPoster entitled “Assimilable Organic Carbon Cycling Within Drinking Water” in collaboration with @sheffielduni & @scottish_water. My poster highlights the interactions between AOC, biofilms and drinking water quality.

All comments & questions are welcome!

[Fran Pick @fran_pick]

@IWAUKYWP @sheffielduni @scottish_water Great question! Yes, total organic carbon (TOC) can be sub divided into different fractions of carbon which include dissolved organic carbon (DOC), biodegradable organic carbon (BDOC) and assimilable organic carbon (AOC).
