Industrial Biofouling

Industrial Biofouling discusses the the challenges--and to a lesser extent, the benefits--of biofilms on industrial processing surfaces. It addresses the operating problems caused by establishment and growth of microorganisms, thereby enabling effective equipment design and operation that minimizes biofouling. - Discusses the chemical and physical control of biofilm growth, with coverage of dosing techniques, equipment cleaning, and cost management
- Presents methods for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of control techniques
- Incorporates explicit figures and diagrams to aid in understanding
