"Illiustrated with over 60 tables and figures, Microbiology of Well Biofouling addresses the events that cause deterioration in all types of wells. The book also discusses the generation of mass that can interfere with the physical functioning of a well in the field. With this guide, the reader will understand the phenomena of biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydraulic transmissivity that can be linked to microbial events. The author introduces practical approaches to the evaluation of these effects, including standard and novel methodologies. He covers the advances in the technology over the last twenty years.

Published nearly ten years ago, the first edition of Practical Atlas for Bacterial Identification broke new ground with the wealth of detail and breadth of information it provided. The second edition is poised to do the same. Differing fundamentally from the first edition, this book begins by introducing the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in the product whether it be water, gas, oil, or even air. It presents a new classification system for bacterial communities based upon their effect and activities, and not their composition.The book represents a radical departure from the classical reductionist identification of bacteria dominated by genetic and biochemical analyses of separated strains. The author takes a holistic approach based on form, function, and habitat of communities (consorms) of bacteria in real environments. He uses factors related to the oxidation-reduction potential at the site where the consorm is active and the viscosity of the bound water within that consorm to position their community structures within a two-dimensional bacteriological positioning system (BPS) that then allows the functional role to be defined. This book has an overarching ability to define bacterial activities as consorms in a very effective and applied manner useful to an applied audience involved in bacterial challenges.Organized for ease of use, the book allows readers to start with the symptom, uncover the bacterial activities, and then indentify the communities distinctly enough to allow management and control practices that minimize the damage. The broad spectrum approach, new to this edition, lumps compatible bacteria together into a relatively harmonious consortia that share a common primary purpose. It gives a big picture view of the role of bacteria not as single strains but collectively as communities and uses this information to provide key answe

Begins by introducing the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in the product whether it be water, gas, oil, or even air. This book presents a fresh classification system for bacterial communities based upon their effect and activities, and not their composition.

Addresses the events that cause deterioration in various types of wells. This book discusses the generation of mass that can interfere with the physical functioning of a well in the field. It helps to understand the phenomena of biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydraulic transmissivity that can be linked to microbial events.

Addressing the microbiological events that can occur in groundwaters, this book covers biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydraulic transmissivity that can be linked to microbial events. It emphasizes the form in which microbial events occur, how activities are focused, and how production characteristics are affected.
