Abstract
⺠The growth, if any, of biofilm in a periodically backwashed GAC filter was studied. ⺠Biofilm progressively grew as DOC was removed from feedwater and stabilised over time. ⺠The initial stratification of biomass densities over the filter disappeared with time. ⺠Growth of biofilm was balanced by the detachment of bacteria after backwashing. ⺠Minimal detachment of bacteria was found under non-backwashing operation.
