This report is divided into five parts corresponding to the five symposium sessions in which formal presentations and discussions were held. Session 1 discussed the nature of macrofouling problems in general and their impact on power plant operation. Session 2 discussed chemical control technologies, basically chlorine minimization, continuous low-level chlorination, cost of chlorination for the utility industry, and the effects of organotins on marine organisms. Session 3 discussed international experiences (from the United States, France, Germany and the Netherlands) with mechanical controls such as intake screening, in-line filters, and thermal backwash. Alternate control technologies, including antifouling coatings and sheetings, nontoxic sheetings, acoustical, velocity, and Cathelco, were discussed in Session 4. Session 5 consisted of information exchange workshops on utility experience with mechanical and chemical controls. The workshop's notes are presented in this report. Papers presented at the symposium are included. Each paper has been indexed separately for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
