Condenser biofouling is a major source of problems causing poor power plant availability and efficiency. An R and D workshop on condenser biofouling control technologies was sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute on June 21, 1985, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida which followed EPRI's Condenser Biofouling Control Symposium. The workshop was attended by 31 engineers and scientists representing EPRI-member utilities and EPRI consultants. This workshop provided a forum to discuss utilities' needs and identify Research and Development activities for the utility industry. Suggested R and D elements were ranked and described in detail. The workshop was divided into the following sessions for topical discussions: monitoring techniques, chemical controls, mechanical controls, and alternate controls. A joint wrap-up session which included all workshop attendees allowed consensus agreement on the type, scope, and priorities of recommended future R and D activities. This report documents the proceedings of the workshop and contains summaries of topics discussed and research and development recommendations.
