Abstract
Biofilms are omnipresent in industrial cooling water circuits and frequently lead to technical and economic problems. Yet, methods to remove biofilms may be inefficient, due to the EPS layer, which provides a protective layer against penetration of disinfectants. In combination with stricter legislation and increased environmental awareness, this has opened the search for alternative strategies to control biofilms in cooling water systems.
