This cost translates to about $50.00/ person / year Recent advancements in microbial control use what nature has evolved2, to remove biofilm and biofilm sediment complexes from the sewer pipes. This removes the cause of sewage odour generation and thus infrastructure corrosion. Any reduction in odorous sulfides arriving at the sewage treatment plant will reduce the oxygen demand required to convert sulfides to sulfates. In the case of extended aeration plants, this will save energy and thus greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, removing biofilm and sediments from the sewer pipes, will improve their hydraulic efficiency, reduce pumping energy and thus greenhouse gas emissions. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Most sewage odour results from sulfate reduction. Sulfate reduction occurs in the biological slime layer (biofilm) on the sewer pipe walls, or in the sludge silt deposits (biofilm / sediment complexes), on the pipe invert3, 4 (Figure 1).
