Biofouling refers to the buildup of plants, microorganisms, small animals or algae on surfaces like the hulls of submarines and ships, and parts of grates, water inlets and pipework. The degradation caused by biofouling compromises an item's ability to perform its primary function. A variety of ultraviolet equipment can be used that can detect and prevent accumulation of biofouling. The different strategies and methods for preventing and controlling biofouling include antifouling, coatings, ultrasonic antifouling and energy methods. Anti-fouling refers to the capability of especially designed materials, like biocides and non-toxic paints to prevent or eliminate biofouling. Biodispersants can be used in industrial processes to control the buildup of biofouling. Nontoxic strategies which prevent biofouling include usage of zwitterions and nano-engineered superhydrophobic surfaces for creating an ultra-low fouling surface. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the detection, prevention and control of biofouling. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this area of study.
