Biofouling detection methods that are widely applicable and useful across disciplines: a mini-review
, 2021 Biofouling, or the build-up of microorganisms in a biofilm at the solid-water or water-air interface, is an interdisciplinary problem. Biofouling causes various issues including clogging systems, contaminating devices, and creating infections that are ...

Biofouling in Industrial Water Systems, Membrane Biofouling: Assessment and Reduction Strategies
, 2023 Membrane biofouling is the accumulation of microorganisms onto the membrane surface and into the membrane pores, and is deliberated as an Achilles heel of membrane processes.

Reverse osmosis membrane biofouling: causes, consequences and countermeasures
npj Clean Water, 2022 Biofouling has been referred to as “the Achilles heel” of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology; the main cause being polyamide RO membranes lack of chlorine tolerance. Biofouling increases the operating cost of water treatment by increasing RO system

Biofouling in water systems [PDF]
Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 1997 The paper describes the mechanisms in the development of biofouling layers (initial surface conditioning, microbial transport and attachment, mass transfer of nutrients to the biofilm surface and through the microbial layer, cell metabolism, and detachment of cells and of larger parts of the biofilm) and summarizes the effects of several factors on the

Barnacles and Biofouling [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2012 Biofouling, the attachment and growth of organisms on submerged, man-made surfaces, has plagued ship operators for at least 2500 years. Accumulation of biofouling, including barnacles and other sessile marine invertebrates, increases the frictional resistance of ships' hulls, resulting in an increase in power and in fuel consumption required to make ...
