  • Abstract: 

    The growth of biofilm, which is caused by microorganism accumulation and growth on wetted surfaces, may damage industrial piping systems, increase maintenance and cleaning costs for the system sterilization, and even divulge the immune of the system into high risk. This article sys-tematically analyses the biofilm interactions with piping surface materials from the perspectives of physical convection and biological and chemical adhesion. The thermodynamics of the flow, bacterial surface sensing, and bio-communication are the most critical factors for the biofilm at-tachment. Furthermore, experimental analysis method as well as biofilm control and removal approach are also included in this study. Finally, the resistance and growth of biofilm as well as the practical and advanced methodology to control the biofilm and challenges associated in technology are also discussed.
