Biofilm growth and the related changes in the physical properties of a porous medium, 1. Experimental investigation
Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted to quantify the permeability reduction caused by enhanced biological growth in a porous medium. Studies were conducted using sand‐packed column reactors for which variations in piezometric head, substrate concentration, and biomass measured as organic carbon were monitored in space and time. Methanol was used as a growth substrate. Permeability reductions by factors of order 10−3 were observed. The data show that a limit on permeability reduction exists, having a magnitude of 5 × 10−4 in the present study. The limit on permeability reduction and the existence of high densities of bacteria in substrate depleted zones are explained with an open pore model. Permeability reduction was observed to correlate well with biomass density for values less than about 0.4 mg/cm3, and exhibited independence at higher densities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
