The innovative electrochemical monitoring probe (BIOX) recently developed to improve the antifouling treatments of cooling systems in industrial plants is presented. On the basis of the good results obtained from applications on marine sites, some research has been started to validate this technique in biofilm growth and prevention of microbial corrosion in fresh and drinking waters.
