MORPHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF A MULTISPECIES BIOFILM ON A106 GB INDUSTRY-FINISHED STEEL USED FROM HEAT EXCHANGERS

Morphological Evaluation of a Multispecies Biofilm on A106 Gb Industry-finished Steel Used from Heat Exchangers

Biofouling in heat exchangers is a challenge in industry leading to efficiency and maintenance losses.A 3.4 % of the global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013, estimated the global cost of corrosion to be US$ 2.5 x 1012.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the stages of multispecies biofilm formation on finished steel surfaces with emphasis o
