Abstract
Reduction of Microalgae by Cupper Ion In Impressed Current Anti Fouling System for Biofouling Prevention in Saline Environment
Highlights
The marine building technology consists of coastal buildings, offshore buildings and port / pier buildings
The purpose of the research was to determine of reduction of the microalgae i.e. Isochrysis galbana and Botryococcus sp during the operation of a simple ICAF system
According to Alkhamis and Qin (2013), Isochrysis galbana can live in a wide range of salinity, i.e. 10‰ to 60‰, but the optimal growth was reached at 35‰ of salinity
Summary
The marine building technology consists of coastal buildings, offshore buildings and port / pier buildings. The quality of sea water that be used can affect the process in the cooling system. Some of microorganisms such as bacteria, diatoms, microalgae were responsible for microfouling, the adhesion of larger organisms such as algae, mussels and barnacles can cause macrofouling (Cao et al, 2011). On the basis of the study by Azam and Malfatti (2007), 1 μL of surface seawater may consist of 10,000 viruses; 1,000 bacteria; 110 cyanobacteria; 10 eukaryotic algae and 10 protists that can affect the adhesion to produce the biofouling. The biofouling, known as biological corrosion, causes corrosion in the marine environment.
