Marine benthic organisms and their rapid growth in successional stages pose widespread
challenges in macrofouling, causing operational issues for industrial plants and facilities …

Fouling of heat exchangers (HEs) has become a major concern across the industrial sector.
Fouling is an omnipresent phenomenon but is particularly prevalent in the dairy, oil, and …

The present study introduces an alternating electric field device that can effectively inhibit
the growth of scale on industrial heat exchangers. The 5–70 V voltage and alternating …

The adhesion of organisms to surfaces is an event that occurs in natural and artificial
systems and is commonly known as bio-encrustation. The elimination of biofouling through …

In the past two decades, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has had massive infrastructure projects
development to meet the increasing demand for public services and foster socioeconomic …

Biofilm is a significant cause for membrane fouling. Antibacterial-coated surfaces can inhibit
biofilm formation by killing bacteria. In this study, polyethersulfone (PES) microfiltration …

Despite many years of research, the current-carrying friction interface still strongly depends
on the lubricating film between the friction pairs, because this film can reduce the probability …

The present study evaluated biofilm growth in AISI 316L stainless steel tubes for seawater-
cooled exchanger-condensers that had four different arithmetic mean surface roughness …

Thermal desalination evaporation of high-salt wastewater has been widely used in industry
because of the proposed concept of 'zero liquid discharge'. However, due to the high content …

Biofouling is an undesirable phenomenon in heat exchangers, which adheres slowly and
progressively to the inner surface of the tubes, results in a reduction of the heat transfer, and …
