Experimental work on a laboratory recirculating apparatus, for the simulation of a cooling water system has yielded information on the effectiveness of ozone as a biocide for biofouling control. Biofilms were developed within glass tubes of the simulated cooling water system using filtered mainswater andPseudomonas fluorescensas the test bacteria. A summary of the results obtained is presented and an interpretation of these results relating to the full-scale application of ozone is provided.
