Putting ecological invasion theories to the test: improving bioaugmentation of drinking water treatment systems for organic micropollutant removal KU Leuven
Biological treatment involving bioaugmentation has been proposed as a more sustainable alternative for physic-chemical treatment of intake groundwaters contaminated with organic micropollutants (OMPs) for drinking water production. A main bottle neck though is the inefficiency of bioaugmentation. Bioaugmentation merely involves an invasion process. In this project, ecological invasion theories are put to the test addressing two different ...
