In the present study an apparatus was developed for prevention of biofouling using pneumatic system. The materials used for the investigation are bare as well as painted galvanized iron (GI) pipes, mild Steel structures of L shaped, I shaped, square tube configuration, ship hull model and reinforced -cement concrete (RCC) cylindrical piles. Each material was studied for a period of 3-6 months in the coastal seawater of Mandapam. At the end of each experiment, no fouling was observed-on the specimen tested with the present process, whereas substantial amount of fouling was noticed on the control specimen.
