Abstract

Enterobacteria disposed of in natural waters survive for a long time. Environmental engineers need to know their survival kinetics, for the determination of which there are at present various formulae. These, however, are of limited validity: experience has shown that the results of calculations of this type may lack predictive accuracy. A parameter, which has not been adequately taken into account up to now, is the effect of the dilution of sewage on bacterial survival kinetics. The investigation of the effect of dilution forms the object of the present research, with the aim of demonstrating the importance of this parameter to the accuracy of the results of the relevant calculations.
