Controlling the Growth of Barnacles Colonies in Water Intakes at Electric Power Plants: An Experimental Investigation| Chapter 5 | Technological Innovation in Engineering Research Vol. 8

 The motivation behind the analysis is to figure out the effect of saltiness on the viability of the material made as far as forestalling the development and propagation Barnacles. Barnacles are kinds of clams that live stuck to rocks and hard surfaces in oceanic conditions, shallow and locales that have been lowered in the instances of the tide, going long from 2 cm to 75 cm and present the skin yellow and white and at times orange and red, This kind of associated barnacle makes cerebral harm boat and station water desalination and nuclear energy stations to create power from encompassing streams and sea shores as a stick to metal parts, particularly sub metal parts.

The barnacles replicate at points of lines that convey stream water to the condensers of electric power plants, causing a blockage between the period and the last and bringing about a deficiency of force at the Najibiyah, Hartha, and Nasiriyah power plants in Basra territory and Nasiriyah in Thi-Qar region, with an expected deficiency of 200MW of electrical energy.

To forestall barnacle development settlements, a non-poisonous protecting compound made of numerous components is delivered to paint the lowered metal pieces in water. The pre-arranged material was tried on a half-covered iron plate and lowered in the waters of Shatt al-Middle Easterner at Al-Ashar and Fao locales for a very long time. It was found that barnacles could lay out settlements on the non-covered piece of the plate, while the covered part was safeguarded from the development of barnacle states.
