The talk encompasses:

-        A brief history of bacteria and epidemiology

-        An overview of: temperature, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ultraviolet light and copper silver ionisation systems to control bacteria

-        Merits and limitations of each method

System design considerations for each method.

Understanding Water Filtration

Comparing and contrasting commonly practised methods of filtration in water distribution networks.

The talk explains how particulates get into water and the negative impacts they can have in water networks. It covers a range of different methods of filtration, explaining how they work, when they should be considered, and how they should be designed into buildings.
