Biofouling is a costly problem, and it is encountered in a wide
spectrum of technical systems, ranging from the shipping industry,
power industry, water purification, automobile industry, paint and
pharmaceuticals, to the microelectronics and food industries. Micro-
and macroorganisms attach to surfaces and accumulate there, forming
biofilms that cause interferences 鈥?a fundamentally natural process.
Usually, a medical paradigm is applied: kill biofilms and the problem
is solved. This leads to excessive biocide use. However, the success of
this strategy is very limited; furthermore it leads to equipment damage
and environmental pollution. Simply trying to kill the fouling
organisms is clearly not seen as a successful strategy while cleaning
is put forward as much more important. In this book, strategies to
prevent adhesion, to mitigate the extent and effects of biofouling, and
to detect and remove fouling layers are presented. Holistic approaches
to the fouling process are elaborated, taking into account options such
as nutrient limitation, repellent and easy-to-clean surfaces for
fouling layer limitation, and replacing biocides with more
environmentally friendly methods 鈥?in other words: learning how to live
with fouling biofilms without suffering the damage they can do.
