Abstract
This paper deals with the killing of marine fouling organisms, particularly the bay mussel, in salt cooling-water conduits by anaerobic treatment. In a parallel two-tunnel system it was found possible to make efficient “kills” by removing one of the tunnels from service and preventing the entry of new water into it. The marine life within the tunnel consumed the dissolved oxygen and subsequently died from the resulting anaerobic condition. Removal of the dead shells after treatment was accomplished by velocity cleaning—obviating the necessity of dewatering for mechanical cleaning.
