desinfection of biofilms - how to (Mar/03/2009 )
Most of this thread seems to be speaking about biofilms as if they were a singular entity. I know next to nothing about biofilms, but I can certainly envision scenarios where low turbulence could result in more massive biofilms -- a biofilm favoring anaerobes, for example.

Well, like you allready told me: I have both lab and industrial experience. None of the treatments mentioned (nor salt) is reliable to disinfect biofilms. The critical target is what is usually a polysaccharide matrix and biocides don't penetrate.
However further research will be done and some of the results were "interesting" for the future research.
check your pm for more info.
@josse, do check the file I attached. Its another text on influence of turbulence in biofilmformation. It gives a nice explenation on the hydronamic effect on the biofilm.
