Abstract
In any industrial process it is necessary to maintain efficiency so that production costs are kept to a minimum and the profits of the organisation are made as high as possible. Earlier discussions have demonstrated the problems associated with the accumulation of biofilms on surfaces, and the techniques that are available to reduce or overcome the associated operating problems.
