Biofilm of organic and inorganic substances and microorganisms which covers the surface wetted by sea water, constitutes the first stage of the biofouling growth and acts as a growth substratum for macrofouling.
Biofilm causes remarkable changes in the physico-chemical characteristics of the surfaces of passivable metals, affects their resistance to corrosion and is responsible for the decrease of efficiency of cooling circuits and heat exchangers.
Chlorination is a widely used chemical treatment to avoid growth of biofouling, nevertheless the lack of an efficient control of sea water chlorine concentration can be the cause of the ineffectiveness of the biocide treatments.
