Bookmark or Share- Fouling - WikipediaFouling is the accumulation of unwanted material on solid surfaces. The fouling materials can consist of either living organisms (biofouling, organic) or a non-living substance (inorganic). Fouling is usually distinguished from other surface-growth phenomena in that it occurs on a surface of a component, system, or plant performing a defined ...
- Fouling - an overview | ScienceDirect TopicsFouling is a membrane separation phenomenon resulting from several mechanisms: precipitation of sparingly soluble salts, adsorption, cake or gel formation, and pore blockage. Fouling is often divided into external and internal fouling, depending on where the foulant is deposited. The type of feedwater determines the severity of fouling.
- Understanding biofouling and contaminant accretion on submerged marine ...This review discusses fouling on marine surfaces, as well as delving into the processes that drives the formation of biotic and abiotic fouling, from initial submersion into the marine...
- Biofouling - WikipediaBiofouling or biological fouling is the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or small animals where it is not wanted on surfaces such as ship and submarine hulls, devices such as water inlets, pipework, grates, ponds, and rivers that cause degradation to the primary purpose of that item.
- Fouling - (Advanced Chemical Engineering Science) - FiveableFouling refers to the accumulation of unwanted material on solid surfaces, which can significantly affect the efficiency and performance of processes involving solid-fluid interactions. This phenomenon can lead to decreased heat transfer efficiency, increased pressure drop, and reduced flow rates in systems, impacting overall operational costs ...
