ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for removing biofilm from a surface submerged in water. The method includes cooling the biofilm to below the freezing point of water to thereby generate large, sharp-edged ice crystals in the biofilm. The frozen biofilm is then thawed and removed from the surface by, for instance, flowing a liquid across the surface.
