Biofilm growth and hydraulic conditions in sewers
Résumé
Coupons have been set in three sewers (Nantes, Nancy) in order to monitor the biofilm development on the walls depending upon flow conditions. The biofilm development is assessed via opacity and dry weight measurements. The data are discussed in function of the duration of immersion into the wastewater. The number of days of immersion is calculated from the position of the coupon and the water height which is continuously monitored near the coupons.
