Reduction of pathogenic microorganisms to to acceptable health risk levels is a principle aim of water recycling plant. Pathogen analysis require skill and time (> 24 hr). Due to the continuous nature of water supply, the 24 hr lag between sample and result is inadequate to prevent distribution of potentially contaminated water. MBRs must be validated to.
