The development of biofilms associated with corrosion is the net result of several physical, chemical, and biological processes. These interrelated processes are reviewed and discussed in the context of biofouling control. Biofouling process simulation equipment are described and experimental results concerning biocontrol product development are presented. The results illustrate the importance of using a systematic approach for the analysis and control of biofouling processes as opposed to current laboratory methods which rely heavily on dispersed culture studies.
