Microbial Monitoring in Seawater Desalination—How ATP Analysis Can Improve Desalination Processes

Abstract

Challenge: Microbes in seawater can cause problems throughout the desalination process. Microbial monitoring is important to reduce risks, but most existing methods are either too slow or do not provide useful, actionable data.

Solution: ATP analysis is fast and provides informative data that allow immediate corrective actions and process improvements.
