New approaches to Marine Biofouling Control

International Journal on Applied Bio-Engineering, 2007
Biofouling control measures are dependant on the type of industry, type of industry, type of equipment, environment and the substratum. Cooling circuits of power plants invariably get fouled. Several biocides like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone & organic biocides are being tried for fouling control.

A Review on Machine Learning and Bioinformatics to Study Biofouling in Marine Renewable Energy Devices: Modeling, Performance Prediction, and Maintenance Planning

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Marine renewable energy (MRE) systems operate in harsh marine environments where long-term exposure to seawater leads to biofouling, resulting in increased surface roughness, hydrodynamic drag, added mass, structural loading, sensor degradation, and ...

Development and Field Testing of a Cavitation-Based Robotic Platform for Sustainable In-Water Hull Cleaning

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Biofouling on ship hulls significantly increases hydrodynamic drag, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, while also facilitating the spread of invasive species in regional and global waters, thereby threatening marine biodiversity.

Influence of Surface Topography on Marine Biofouling

, 2014
Marine biofouling, associated with the accumulation of marine colonizers on submerged surfaces, has been a longstanding problem. Among different surface properties, cell substrate interaction is strongly influenced by surface topographies. Therefore, in this work responses of representative marine fouling species were investigated in relation to ...

Marine Biofouling and Fisheries

Marine Biofouling and Fisheries
Marine biofouling occurs on the bottom of boats, fishing gear, nets and the surface of underwater construction materials, as well as on the surface of living and nonliving marine organisms. It causes great damage to marine and fisheries industries. This paper discusses some of the biology of marine biofouling organisms and the relationship between ...
