The loss of materials due to corrosion is inevitable and has gained significant attention at
various stages in the process industries, including petroleum, food processing units, and …

The use of UV light to prevent or mitigate the development of biofilms is an area of emerging
research that spans numerous industries. We reviewed 58 papers published between 1998 …

Biofouling of membrane surfaces poses significant operational challenges and costs for
desalination and wastewater reuse applications. Ultraviolet (UV) light can control biofilms …

Bacterial biofilms are problematic wherever water contacts with surfaces. Although
germicidal ultraviolet (UV)-C irradiation effectively inactivates microorganisms in flowing …

Biofilms give rise to a range of issues, spanning from harboring pathogens to accelerating
microbial-induced corrosion in pressurized water systems. Introducing germicidal UV-C (200 …

Silica nanoparticle coating on quartz optical fiber facilitates side-emission of germicidal
ultraviolet light (UV-C), which shows promise for disinfection of contaminated air, water, and …

Germicidal ultraviolet (UV-C) light effectively inhibits the growth of pathogenic biofilms in
water systems. However, delivering UV-C light from point sources (eg, lamps) to complex …

Ultraviolet-C light-emitting diodes (UV-C LEDs) are an emerging technology for
decontamination applications in different sectors. In this study, the inactivation of bacterial …

The growth of pathogenic bacteria in moist and wet surfaces and tubing of medically
relevant devices results in serious infections in immunocompromised patients. In this study …

A commercially available UVLED flow-through device, operating at 40 mJ/cm2, was
examined for biofilm control on irrigation pipe material fed by wastewater effluent. Biofouling …
