The advancement of novel water treatment technologies requires the implementation of both accurate data measurement and recording processes. These procedures are essential for acquiring results and conducting thorough analyses to enhance operational efficiency. In addition, accurate sensor data facilitate precise control over chemical treatment dosages, ensuring optimal water quality and corrosion inhibition while minimizing chemical usage and associated costs. Under this framework, this paper describes the sensoring and monitoring solution for a hybrid system based on a cooling tower (CT) connected to mechanical vapor compression (MVC) equipment for desalination and brine concentration purposes. Sensors connected to the data commercial logger solution, Almemo 2890-9, are also discussed in detail such as temperature, relative humidity, pressure, flow rate, etc. The monitoring system allows remote control of the MVC based on a server, GateManager, and TightVNC. In this way, the proposed solution provides remote access to the hybrid system, being able to visualize gathered data in real time. A case study located in Cartagena (Spain) is used to assess the proposed solution. Collected data from temperature transmitters, pneumatic valves, level sensors, and power demand are included and discussed in the paper. These variables allow a subsequent forecasting process to estimate brine concentration values. Different sample times are included in this paper to minimize the collected data from the hybrid system within suitable operation conditions. This solution is suitable to be applied to other desalination processes and locations.

The biofouling on cooling systems surfaces is one of the major problems in industrial processes because it causes operational drawbacks that interfere in the process performance. The application of biofouling control methods is essential in cooling system operation to minimize biofilm formation on the equipment surfaces, thus maintaining energy demand, increasing operational performance, and providing cost savings. In this context, this work presents a literature review on strategies to control biofilm on surfaces using chemical and physical methods, improving the understanding of the biofouling formation mechanism, and the adverse effects on industrial cooling system equipment. This review examines the chemical and physical methods efficiently employed as antibiofouling strategies for cooling systems, theoretical framework, recent research findings, antimicrobial mechanisms involved, advantages, limitations, feasibility, and operational range. A comparison between chemical and physical methods is highlighted, as are gaps in the literature concerning antibiofouling strategies for the surfaces of cooling systems.
