The solution to a biological clogging problem is usually two-pronged:

• good filtration to remove the suspended biological materials, combined with
• chemigation with a biocide to further clean up the biological contaminants.

• Home
• Predicting clogging problems (II)
  • Surface waters (II-10)
    • Particulate problems (sands, silts, trash, etc.) (II-11)
    • Biological Clogging (slimes, algae, etc.)(II-30)
      • Prediction of hazard (II-31)
        • Solutions (II-32)
          • Biocide (II-33)
