Abstract

Biofouling in titanium tube-well condensers can cause a serious problem in heat exchange process and its products. Photo catalytic activity a chemical treatment enhancing the anatase thin films characterization which is present on the surface of the titanium material in degrading the efficacy of the microbial populations like Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Bacillus, Acinetobacter which stick on the tube-well condensers . The titanium material exposed to 30V of current for an timing of about 48 hours showed to be possessing high efficiency in maintenance of the material. The colony counts and Biochemical characterization proved that treatment process in Titanium metal exposed to fresh water system facilitates in Biofouling cleaning methodology. This study was confirmed by a mechanical process, a sponge ball cleaning shows that there is a considerable weight loss in biofouled condenser tubes, rather increasing the adherence efficacy of the organism than the inhibition. Thus, the problems related to Titanium biofouling and its effect on the products can be rectified.
