Summary

The objective of this study was to investigate the validity of an electronic anti-fouling (EAF) technology through accelerate fouling tests. The EAF technology creates induced oscillating electric fields using time-varying magnetic fields generated in a solenoid wrapped around a feed pipe carrying water. The test results showed that the EAF technology could significantly reduce new scale deposits even in the accelerated fouling test, which was an extremely harsh fouling environment.
