A review of microbial corrosion in reclaimed water pipelines: challenges and mitigation strategies

Abstract With the continuous development and expansion of water reclamation reuse market, it is vital to ensure quality safety stability over entire system. Because reclaimed distinct from that drinking water, likely deteriorate, even after advanced treatment, during distribution transport. This review identifies common microbial corrosion in pipelines end use applications (e.g. industrial cooling system) dominant corrosive microorganisms water. The mechanism affecting factors on are discussed depth. Moreover, this study also proposes possible strategies for dealing with pipeline corrosion, including control assimilable organic carbon content via coagulation filtration processes as well disinfection technologies inactivation. great novelty provide a comprehensive overview application point out future directions towards sustainable long-lasting reuse.
