Novel Non-Invasive Detection Of Thin Film Biofilm And Classification Of Deposits Using Machine Learning, Sachin Davis Aug 2023

Novel Non-Invasive Detection Of Thin Film Biofilm And Classification Of Deposits Using Machine Learning, Sachin Davis

Theses and Dissertations

Clean, safe, readily available water is vital for public health, irrespective of whether it is used for drinking, domestic use, food production, or recreational purposes. Globally, around two billion people use feces-contaminated water sources, which poses a high risk to the safety of drinking water due to the high probability of water contamination. Microbial-influenced corrosion is a significant problem in several industries, including but not limited to wastewater treatment, drinking water distribution systems, food industries, power plants, paper industries, and chemical manufacturing facilities. The presence of microorganisms causes around 70% of the corrosion in gas transmission pipelines, and corrosion accounts …

Theses and Dissertations

Biofilms are formed when a group of cells of microorganisms stick to each other and often on a surface. The development of biofilm has been a major issue in many fields (medical field, food, chemical, and water industry are a few such fields). In the medical field alone, biofilm infections have reportedly cost over five billion USD in additional healthcare expenses. The food industry usually halts the operation of its plant eight hours, every day to ensure that their equipment and transportation channels are clean and free from any biofilm presence. Similarly, the water and chemical industry need to ensure …
