Control of biofilm

Primary way of control biofilm is disinfection using chlorine and monochloromines. But these chemicals induce toxicity if concentration increases.

It can be avoided by practicing some activities like

1. limiting residence time in collection systems

2. maintaining disinfectant residuals,

3. cleaning collection tank regularly and properly

4. using corrosion inhibitors such as phosphate-based inhibitors.
