Employing MBTs for Water Reuse and Corrosion Assessment

This brochure examines how MBTs can be leveraged to improve water quality and corrosion management programs. Results from QuantArray®-BGC, QuantArray®-Petro, and Microbial Source Tracking can inform water reuse practices in constructed wetlands and municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. Likewise, QuantArray®-MIC and next generation sequencing can provide important information for microbiologically influenced corrosion assessment.
