- Summary
- Chapter

Keywords:
- fouling and antifouling in industries – power stations, desalination plants;
- good plant design - method of control fouling;
- microbial fouling communities and microbial slimes;
- colonial bryozoans - forming colonies on screens, culverts and cooling towers;
- barnacles - sessile crustaceans on hard surface in sea water;
- mussels - initial colonisers influencing subsequent development;
- large quantities of organisms - increasing head loss across pumps, reducing water flow;
- mussel fouling - prevalent in marine cooling water culverts;
- heat treatment - killing organisms in vicinity of discharge;
- biofouling threats - minimised by good design and construction
