What is the current research being carried out on biofouling which have practical industrial applications? Mainly to control macrofouling in cooling water systems. Any reference would be useful.
Industrial application of bio-fouling highlights the ways to eliminate fouling that reduces the efficiency of cooling towers, heat ex-changers, pipelines and control equipment.
Biofouling is considered a big problem in many fields. E.g. cooling towers, ship hulls, chip industry (ultra pure water systems), and in water treatment/desalination.
