Measurement of Biodegradable Organic Matter With Biofilm Reactors

Abstract

Validates an immobilized biofilm reactor method capable of measuring BOM concentrations in drinking water in two hours. Also determines the precision, bias, detection limit, and temporal variability of the reactors. Compares reactors to other assays of BOM. Published in 1996.
