摘要：

Cooling water is essential in many industries, including power generation, chemical manufacture and petroleum refineries. Biofilm formation on heat exchanger surfaces reduces heat transfer efficiency; in order to maintain cooling water effectiveness it is necessary to eliminate or reduce the incidence of biofilm growth. Techniques available include physical methods and chemical addition. The paper discusses how the environmental impact of mitigation may be reduced, and draws attention to the cost penalties involved.
