Scientist and engineers from across the globe gathered to discuss scaling and corrosion problems faced in water and wastewater systems. Scaling and corrosion are common process problems found in domestic, commercial and industrial applications where water or wastewaters are in contact with materials. The two subjects have often been covered in separate conferences even though solving a corrosion problem may leave a scaling issue. Water chemistry plays a major role in both material corrosion and scale formation and was an underlying theme in many of the conference sessions. Subjects covered include those common in the municipal production of water and the treatment of wastewater, from scaling by low-solubility salts such as calcium carbonate or struvite, and corrosion and biofouling of water distribution pipes, through to emerging topics such as fouling of membrane bioreactors by organic matter and the issue of copper corrosion in domestic households. From the many oral papers presented at the conference 33 have been selected following peer review, for these proceedings. Topics covered include: corrosion in water distribution systems; copper corrosion; biofouling; calcium carbonate scale formation; struvite scale formation; desalination and membrane fouling. With some of the worlds leading experts as authors highlighting the latest research results and their practical applications these proceedings constitute an overview of current knowledge in scaling and corrosion in water and wastewater systems.
