Fouling Organisms
• Fouling of ships results in increased resistance to movement
through water, reducing the efficiency, lowering of speed,
increasing fuel consumption and leading to wear and tear of
engine.
• The efficiency of underwater sound equipments fitted on to
commercial and naval vessels is also affected as result of
the accumulation of fouling organisms.
• Pipes are used to convey salt water in ships, industrial
plants, oil refineries, nuclear power plants and aquaria
become clogged and the flow is interrupted by the growth
of these organisms inside the pipe.
