Biofilm growth and the related changes in the physical properties of a porous medium: 1. Experimental investigation
Stewart W. Taylor,Peter R. Jaffé +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation was conducted to quantify the permeability reduction caused by enhanced biological growth in a porous medium, and the results showed that a limit on the amount of porosity reduction exists, having a magnitude of 5 × 10−4 in the present study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm growth and the related changes in the physical properties of a porous medium: 2. Permeability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a cut-and-random-rejoin-type model of the medium and showed that the porosity reduction for a given volume of biomass is greatest when the porous medium has uniform pore sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substrate and biomass transport in a porous medium
Stewart W. Taylor,Peter R. Jaffé +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model describing the transport of substrate and biomass in porous media is formulated which accounts for the transport, growth and decay of biomass suspended in the water phase and attached to the solid matrix as a biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm growth and the related changes in the physical properties of a porous medium. 3. Dispersivity and model verification.
Stewart W. Taylor,Peter R. Jaffé +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the change in dispersivity resulting from the growth of a biofilm in a porous medium is derived from an existing model of dispersivity and a cut-and-random-rejoin-type model of the pore geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced in-situ biodegradation and aquifer permeability reduction
Stewart W. Taylor,Peter R. Jaffé +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model describing the enhanced in-situ biodegradation of an organic substrate in ground water is presented, which simulates the transport and aerobic utilization of substrate and oxygen; changes in porous media properties as a result of biofilm growth; and biofilm shearing and filtration.
