Abstract
Power plant supply waters which have been processed through combinations of softening steps, sand filters and demineralizer beds can deliver microbial populations to components downstream of the treatment train. Although water chemistries remain within plant specifications, the sessile bacterial populations can remain high. Constant low levels of these organisms can be delivered to demineralized water storage and ultimately to plant systems and contribute to, or increase the potential for, MIC.
