Harnessing biofilm polysaccharide as an endogenous green anti-foulant for suppressing asphaltene deposition and spreading on metal surface

Puntos clave

• Biofilm polysaccharide effectively suppresses asphaltene deposition on metal surfaces.
• Approximately 75% reduction in fouling observed on treated surfaces.
• Assessment involved experimental analysis of polysaccharides under controlled conditions.
• Highlights the potential for sustainable anti-fouling solutions in industrial applications.
