The importance of material properties, nutrient load and shear stress on biofilm formation

Inorganic and biological fouling reduce the performance of heat exchangers leading to frequent process interruptions for equipment cleaning. In order to identify the key parameters affecting bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, different surfaces and different nutrient loads were tested under s...
