Abstract

A method of anti-fouling of a surface while said surface is at least partially submersed in an liquid environment comprises providing an anti-fouling light (9); distributing at least part of the light (9) through an optical medium (5) comprising a silicone material and / or UV grade fused silica; emitting the anti-fouling light (9) from the optical medium (5) and from the surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to methods for preventing fouling of surfaces (or commonly referred to as anti-fouling) and to apparatus for performing these methods. The present disclosure particularly relates to methods and apparatus for anti-fouling of ship hulls. Background technique [0002] Biofouling or biological fouling is the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae and / or animals on surfaces. The diversity among biofouling organisms is highly variable and extends well beyond barnacle and algae attachments. According to some estimates, more than 1700 species including more than 4000 organisms are responsible for biofouling. Biofouling is divided into microfouling, which includes biofilm formation and bacterial adhesion, and macrofouling, which is the adhesion of larger organisms. These organisms are also classified as hard or soft fouling types due to the different chemistry and biology that determine what prevents the organisms from s...
