Real time biofouling monitor system

Page last modified

April 11 2024

The Biovision Monitor provides operators with a clear understanding of the levels of biofouling growth, to monitor in real-time the effectiveness of your biofouling treatment. If your current treatment is not effective, it will immediately reveal the presence of biofouling organisms.

The Biovision Monitor can be installed at critical spots in the service water system, e.g. in front of the heat exchangers. The monitor is designed to create a range of water flows and turbulences along the fouling coupons which cover the flow range and turbulences normally occur within a water system.

The Biovision Monitor detects a broad range of species (for example mussels, oysters, barnacles and hydroids) and provides the operator an early warning system to identify any risk of biofouling settlement. Detect new invasive species, and minimize the risk of operation shutdown.

Pros & Limitations

Direct, real-time insight in the buildup of biofouling and/or in the efficiency of the anti-fouling dosing regime

Designed to mimic real conditions of the service water system (velocities, turbulences)

Detects a broad range of species, e.g. mussels, oysters, barnacles, hydroids and tubular worms

No power supply required

Easy to install and operate

Requires personnel for visual inspection
