“…In developing a surface engineering strategy for scale, it is particularly important to understand the effect of some parameters in reducing scaling such as: surface parameters (e.g. the roughness (Keysar et al 1994;Cheong, Gaskell and Neville 2013;Liu et al 2011) and the wettability (Cheong, Gaskell and Neville 2013;Zhao et al 2005;Bargir et al 2009;Förster and Bohnet 1999;Azimi et al 2014;Herz, Malayeri and Müller-Steinhagen 2008a;Rankin and Adamson 1973a)), kinetics of crystallization and surface deposition (Crabtree et al 1999;Kitamura 2002;Yu et al 2004;Dyer and Graham 2002;Peyvandi, Haghtalab and Omidkhah 2012), and the induction time (Geddert, Augustin and Scholl 2011;Geddert et al 2009;Jaouhari et al 2000;Gabrielli et al 2003) for surface scaling which is dependent on the flow regime (Han et al 2006;Alahmad 2008;Vazirian and Neville) and the saturation rate (Merdhah and Yassin 2009). …”

Scale formation on surfaces can normally be divided into two distinct processes: a "deposition process" which refers to the process of heterogeneous nucleation and growth at the asperities of the surface and an "adhesion process" which refers to the sticking of preexisting crystals, which have nucleated in the bulk solution, and which build up as a layer on the surface. It has been presented in this paper that the surface scale formation rate is more dominantly controlled by the "deposition process" rather than the "adhesion process"; however, the level of agitation could have inverse effects on one process to another. Only a small amount of research has been done to understand the differences of the kinetics of each of these processes. The presented work represents an experimental study of scaling tests to assess the effect of hydrodynamic conditions, using Rotating Cylinder Electrode (RCE), in a complex scaling environment, particularly supersaturated with barium/strontium sulphate and calcium carbonate, on the stainless steel substrate coated with a wide range of different industrial coatings.In addition, the effect of the surface energy and surface roughness on both processes has been studied. The paper provides data that will assist in the understanding of the controlling parameters in scale formation in different conditions, and also describes what characteristics of the surface can make it a good anti-scale surface for inorganic scale; however, the results have showed that merely one parameter cannot assure a surface as a good antifouling surface.

“…Surface modification has often been proposed as a solution to the fouling problem (such as by Zhao et al, 2005) and the differential adhesion of biofilms ('the Baier curve') to surfaces of different energy is well known (Baier, 1980). This curve shows that adhesion of bacteria to surfaces is minimised at some surface energy.…”

Many researchers have studied the effects of changing the surface on fouling and cleaning. In biofouling the 'Baier curve' is a well-known result which relates adhesion to surface energy, and papers on the effect of changing surface energy to food fouling can be found more than 40 years ago. Recently the use of modified surfaces, at least at a research level, has been widespread. Here two different ways of studying surface-deposit interactions have been compared. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a method for probing interactions at a molecular level, and can measure (for example) the interaction between substrate and surfaces at a nm-scale. At a μm-mm level, we have developed a micromanipulation tool that can measure the force required to remove the deposit; the measure incorporates both surface and bulk deformation effects. The two methods have been compared by studying a range of model soils: toothpaste, as an example of a soil that can be removed by fluid flow alone, and confectionery soils. Removal has been studied from glass, stainless steel and fluorinated surfaces as examples of the sort of surfaces that can be found in practice. AFM measurements were made by using functionalized tips in force mode. The two types of probe give similar results, although the rheology of the soil affects the measurement from the micromanipulation probe under some circumstances. The data suggests that either method could be used to test candidate surfaces. 2 INTRODUCTIONThe cleaning of process plant is a difficult multiscale problem; metre-scale plant becomes clean as a result of fluid and chemical action on surfaces of individual plant items, acting at the meso-and nano scale. A sketch of the different length scales involved in cleaning process plant is given as Figure 1. To remove deposit from surfaces is difficult both to understand scientifically and to do industrially (Wilson, 2005; Fryer et al., 2006)

“…In addition to underwater hull structures, a vessel's sea water handling pipelines and heat exchangers can also suffer from the detrimental effects of biofouling, as a result affecting system availability and performance (Zhao et al 2005). Since these systems generally have exposed metallic surfaces (usually copper-based and titanium alloys), biofouling can lead to biocorrosion, resulting in increased safety and financial concerns (Busalmen et al 2004;Flemming et al 2009).…”

“…FRCs are ultra-smooth, hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) or fluoropolymer surfaces with low friction and surface energy. Baier (1973) studied the relationship of bioadhesion with surface energy, demonstrating that the pessimal surface energy for bioadhesion is around 23 mN m −2 (figure 5; Brady 2001; Zhao et al 2005). This hydrophobicity reduces the ability of any fouling organism larger than a bacterium to adhere to the vessel, and shear stress at the surface can easily dislodge any weakly bonded foulers when the boat is in motion.…”

Marine biofouling is the accumulation of biological material on underwater surfaces, which has plagued both commercial and naval fleets. Biomimetic approaches may well provide new insights into designing and developing alternative, non-toxic, surfaceactive antifouling (AF) technologies. In the marine environment, all submerged surfaces are affected by the attachment of fouling organisms, such as bacteria, diatoms, algae and invertebrates, causing increased hydrodynamic drag, resulting in increased fuel consumption, and decreased speed and operational range. There are also additional expenses of dry-docking, together with increased fuel costs and corrosion, which are all important economic factors that demand the prevention of biofouling. Past solutions to AF have generally used toxic paints or coatings that have had a detrimental effect on marine life worldwide. The prohibited use of these antifoulants has led to the search for biologically inspired AF strategies. This review will explore the natural and biomimetic AF surface strategies for marine systems.
