Noncontact Measurement of Marine Biofouling Roughness

Marine Technology and SNAME News, 2004
The energy loss caused by biofouling is costing the marine operations millions of dollars because of lack of complete understanding of their roughness characteristics. Marine biofouling roughness is generally randomly distributed in space, and also varies in shape and texture.

A Biochemical Mechanism for Marine Biofouling

OCEANS 81, 1981
Microbial communities form rapidly on all surfaces exposed to seawater. Microbial fouling is related to a number of problems in marine technology. Corrosion of metal structures in the ocean is affected by microbial films. In addition, microbial fouling induces the settlement of macrofouling organisms.

Biofouling in Marine and Offshore

Offshore Technology Conference, 2013
Abstract This presentation will provide an introduction into internationally and nationally regulated biofouling issues. The risk for spread of invasive aquatic species (IAS) via fouling from ship's hulls / other under water structures or ballast water is being focused upon more and more.

Prevention of marine biofouling using natural compounds from marine organisms

2000
All surfaces that are submerged in the sea rapidly become covered by a biofilm. This process, called biofouling, has substantial economic consequences. Paints containing tri-butyl-tin (TBT) and copper compounds are used to protect marine structures by reducing biofouling. However, these compounds have damaging effects on the marine environment, as they

Biofouling of Several Marine Diesel Fuels

2011
Abstract : The US Navy is facing exposure to new fuels that may behave differently in the marine environment, in comparison with high sulfur diesel. This laboratory work has investigated the effects of biofouling and seawater exposure to high sulfur diesel, ultralow sulfur diesel, synthetic diesel, biodiesel, and hydrotreated renewable diesel fuels ...

Marine biofouling: a sticky problem.

Biologist (London, England), 2002
Organisms that colonise underwater surfaces, such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae, use a diverse array of biological 'glues' to provide both temporary and more permanent adhesion. The practical consequence of colonisation by these organisms is biofouling - something that has plagued mariners for years - causing increased drag and, in extreme ...

Marine Biofouling of Synthetic and Metallic Screens

OCEANS 81, 1981
Biofouling of meshes can create serious problems in seawater intake or discharge systems, and in aquacultural applications, by reducing water flow and increasing drag forces and pressure drops. Biofouling tests on a number of different meshes in the size range of 1/4 to 1 1/2 in.

Marine Biofouling on Fish Farms and Its Remediation

2004
The fish farming industry suffers significantly from the effects of biofouling. The fouling of cages and netting, which is costly to remove, is detrimental to fish health and yield and can cause equipment failure. With rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry, coupled with the tightening of legislation on the use of antifouling biocides, the ...
