Project Summary

The aim of this project is to develop a better understanding of how environmental conditions and antifouling materials affect biofilm growth by integrating existing knowledge and real-time field data into an intelligent predictive tool.

This tool will enable the assessment of treatment performance much more efficient by offering a probabilistic model which is capable of predicting biofilm growth rates on antifouling materials, under stochastic environmental conditions, and considering temporal changes in model parameters.
