Objective STUDY OF MICROBIAL POLLUTION IN CLOSED INDUSTRIAL COOLING SYSTEMS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL COVER TWO TOPICS: DEVELOPMENTS OF "QUICK-RESPONSE" INSTRUMENTAL METHODS FOR MEASURING: - TOTAL MICROBIAL BIOMASS VIA ATP MEASURING TECHNIQUES OR OTHER SPECIFIC BIOCHEMICAL INDICATORS IN CASE OF VERY HIGH LEVELS OF POLLUTANTS; - DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODS USING CULTURES IN LIQUID MEDIUM WITH INSTRUMENTAL DETECTION OF ELECTROCHEMICALLY DETECTABLE METABOLITES, - SPECIFIC MICROBIAL BIOMASS (COLIFORMS AND E. COLI) USING THE ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION METHOD OF WILKINS. STUDY OF THE MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION OF WATER IN CLOSED INDUSTRIAL COOLING SYSTEMS: - TO SOLVE TYPICAL CASES IN THE FOLLOWING INDUSTRIES: PULP AND PAPER, CHEMICAL AND AGRO-ALIMENTARY INDUSTRIES, METALLURGY; - TO IDENTIFY THE PROCESSES OF MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION; - TO STUDY PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE SOLUTIONS IN DEFINING THE EXTENT OF THE USE OF INORGANIC AND ORGANIC BIOCIDS AND AN OPTIMAL STRATEGY FOR THEIR USE TO SOLVE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS.
