Abstract

The biofouling prevention methods is a new research area. This paper presents a study of biofilm evolution (microbiota) on different surfaces, monitoring different parameters. For this research, the tests are achieved on samples as naval steel painted with different antifouling paints, and liquid wood samples introduced into the dynamic marine water system. The main parameters observed during the test are water temperature and flow. The microfouling samples are observed under the epifluorescence microscopy and quantification of biofilm using specific software. Using MATLAB software, we develop the prediction methods for biofouling prevention using the environmental parameter. The test system use the two boxes placed on the different higher, using an acquisition card the sensors data is sent to the computer for analysis.
