Bacteriophages for Foam Control in Wastewater Processing

Grant number: LP120100304 | Funding period: 2012 - 2015

Completed

Abstract

This project will develop new strategies to reduce troublesome foaming at sewerage treatment plants in Australia. It will enable water authorities to prevent foaming events, increase wastewater treatment safety and efficiency, decrease environmental and human health impacts and aid recycling of urban and industrial wastewaters.
