(a)

To achieve the target log10 reduction with a high certainty, the simulation with the predictive model was targeted one additional log10 reduction (i.e. to achieve the indicated 1 log10 reduction, the P/t combinations predicted by the model of Santillana Farakos and Zwietering (2011) to cause 2 log10 reductions are indicated in the table).
