9729389 Rittmann This is an award to provide support for conduct of a specialized international conference sponsored by the International Association on Water Quality on the ecology of biofilms. Cosponsors include the Societe Lyonnaise des Eaux, the Waterways Experiment Station of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The conference will address the structure and function of biofilms in processes of significance in environmental engineering practice. These include aerobic and anaerobic fixed film and suspended growth reactors, water treatment processes, water distribution systems, wastewater transport conduits, contaminated soil, surfaces fouled by contact with water and corrosion of materials in contact with water. This award will be used to support travel and other costs for participation of three internationally distinguished experts in biofilms in the conduct of this conference. Results of this conference are expected to provide insights into the structure and function of biofilms that will improve the engineering design and operation of processes using biologically active films adhering to solid surfaces or formed in suspended growth bioreactors. Results are also expected to provide knowledge that can be used in dealing with biofouling of water conduction systems, cooling towers and other surfaces that are in contact with water. ***

9729389 Rittmann这是一个奖项，以支持由国际水质协会主办的生物膜生态学专业国际会议的进行。 共同赞助者包括里昂水务公司、美国陆军工程兵团水道实验站和美国环境保护局。 会议将讨论在环境工程实践中具有重要意义的过程中生物膜的结构和功能。 这些包括需氧和厌氧固定膜和悬浮生长反应器、水处理工艺、配水系统、废水输送管道、受污染的土壤、因与水接触而污染的表面以及与水接触的材料的腐蚀。 该奖项将用于支持三位国际知名生物膜专家参加本次会议的差旅费和其他费用。 本次会议的结果预计将提供深入了解生物膜的结构和功能，这将改善工程设计和操作的过程中使用生物活性膜粘附到固体表面或形成悬浮生长生物反应器。 研究结果还有望提供可用于处理水传导系统、冷却塔和其他与水接触的表面的生物污垢的知识。 ***
