The swimming pool filtration market (worth 3.2bn) currently lacks chemical-free alternatives despitecustomers’ demands of healthier, easier and cheaper solutions to pool water treatment. This project helps tofully realise the mass market potential for natural bio-filter based water treatment technology, throughinnovative and robust scientific research and development into aquatic pathogen behaviour and control usingbio-films. Project Objectives: Determine how our biofilms reduce levels of waterborne pathogens; ascertainwhether bio-films housed within a bio-filter allow re-introduction of pathogens in water; develop optimalhabitats & management of biofilms to maximise pathogen removal; & quantify pathogen survival rates on full-scale filtration models. The invaluable knowledge gained during the project will enable a set of optimisedoperational parameters (eg: optimal PH/ flow rates) and substrate properties (eg pore size, depth), whichmaximise the efficiency, repeatability and reliability of biofilm performance (w.r.t. pathogen control) for real-world conditions.

游泳池过滤市场(价值32亿美元)目前缺乏不含化学物质的替代品，尽管消费者要求更健康、更容易和更便宜的池水处理解决方案。该项目通过对水生病原体行为和使用生物膜控制的创新和强有力的科学研究和开发，帮助充分实现基于天然生物滤池的水处理技术的大众市场潜力。项目目标：确定我们的生物膜如何降低水中病原体的水平；确定生物滤池中的生物膜是否允许将病原体重新引入水中；开发最佳的生物膜栖息地和管理，以最大限度地去除病原体；以及在全尺寸过滤模型上量化病原体的存活率。在项目期间获得的宝贵知识将使一套优化的操作参数(例如：最佳PH值/流速)和基质特性(如孔径、深度)最大化，从而最大限度地提高生物膜性能的效率、重复性和可靠性(W.r.t.病原体控制)用于现实世界的条件。
