“…In other circumstances, the majority of the algae was removed by an average liquid velocity as low as 1.6 x 1 0 4m s-1. Hence, while fluid forces alone will not control microbial film, the evidence suggests that an appropriate selection or treatment of surface, control of ionic strength of the environment and a satisfactory fluid (Nordin et aL, 1967). References on curves relate to Table 6 velocity might result in a situation in which microorganisms will, or will not, adhere to the surface.…”
