Studies to reduce biofouling on metal surfaces of abstraction intakes

Abstract

Biofouling is one of the main problems of water industry enterprises; many scientific developments are associated with the prevention of biofouling. It is one of the factors of pollution, a decrease in productivity, and also contributes to the occurrence of serious accidents at abstraction intakes (herein after AI). Scientists dealing with corrosion issues in Russia and research to determine the effectiveness of modern methods that reduce corrosion of metal surfaces have found that the nature of the basic cause of corrosion damage is the formation of material destruction products on the inner surface of the metal due to individual components in waste water. This article presents the results of the microbiological composition analysis.
