In contrast, the coliphage method is a simple, rapid, economical, and reliable method that has been used as an additional indicator of potential pathogens whereby coliform numbers present in natural waters can be estimated within 6–24 h. In this pilot‐scale study, besides demonstrating that the 6‐h coliphage test may be used to evaluate sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treatment efficiency (up to 9… Show more
