Exempel på fouling

• Since the efficiency and performance of this technology is strongly hindered by fouling, future developments in membrane filters strive to reduce this phenomenon.

• Photocatalytic oxidation of organic substrates requires an electron acceptor, light of the proper wavelength, and low concentrations of catalyst fouling agents or interfering radical scavengers.

• Several epibiotic, or fouling, organisms use cockle shells as attachment substrates and even compete for space in areas where they are abundant.

• Furthermore, local fisheries and the marine environment in general are affected by operational discharges (such as oil spillage), hull fouling and similar threats.

• Finally, photocatalytic oxidation of the desired species may be inhibited by the presence of catalyst fouling agents and radical scavengers.

• This necessitated regular cleaning to remove fouling material.

• A fully automated "single-strand" test cell is employed to determine the most fouling-resistant plasma modification method.

• The long nozzle was made in order to prevent the plate from fouling the acoustic damping material on the rig a t the smaller angles of inclination.

• Fouling of gastropods : a role for parasites?

• As current knowledge of microbial colonization of common coil-coating paints is very limited, laboratory methods to investigate microbial fouling have to be extrapolated to workplace conditions.

• Biofilm on technical surfaces often incurs costs owing to, for example, microbially introduced corrosion, fouling, restricted flow or reduced heat conductance.

• It is doing so for three reasons; first, because of dangerous dogs; secondly, because of fouling; and thirdly because of strays.

• That is the dog nuisance —fouling pavements, parks and play areas where people want to play rugby, soccer or any other game.

• I used to get complaints about blocking the pavements, about shouting obscene remarks at unoffending passers-by, and about fouling the neighbourhood in various nasty ways.

• To that danger should be added the nuisance of the fouling of pavements and playgrounds by dogs that are not controlled by their owners.
