Metal filters are an essential component in process and environmental quality, but due to the nature of their job, they can become clogged and fouled with particulates. This fouling prevents proper ...

The tools required to coat a surface so it is non-wetting, thereby lowering maintenance needs How coating via CVD can make surfaces easier to clean and more robust How fuel delivery and injection ...

Hempel introduces HEMPAGUARD®, a new hull coating product for the shipping industry that offers outstanding resistance to fouling during idle periods and significant fuel savings. The new patented ...

Figure 1: Vessels fouled by marine organisms. Marine biofouling is ubiquitous and has been a practical problem ever since man sailed the oceans; controlling it, without simultaneously creating ...

Marine fouling triggers ongoing economic losses for the global shipping industry through detrimental effects on structures and vessels—but tests by Flinders University researchers on a new type of ...

It has been shown that the surface finish of the airfoils can be satisfactorily restored by using suitable compressor coatings. Recent developments in such coatings have been made to improve upon the ...
