Eliminating Biofilm & Biofouling
Without Toxic Chemicals
Nature-inspired peptide technology that prevents biofilm formation across desalination, cooling towers, maritime and industrial systems.
Biofilm & Biofouling
In a wet environment
Microbes
Single cell organisms settle on hard surfaces in water
Biofilm
Microbes form a slime layer that aids surface attachment and survival
Biofouling
Other organisms, plants and algae attach to biofilms, grow and create a community
The Global Problem
Biofilm and Biofouling
costs global industries
over $100B annually.
Energy Waste
+20% energy consumption
Increased operational costs
Operational Downtime
Frequent cleaning
Membrane replacement
Equipment damage
Biofouling
Toxic chemicals
Anti-microbial resistance
Regulatory pressure

About
DisperseBio engineers protein-based solutions for one of industry’s oldest and most costly challenges: biofilm, a problem estimated to cost over $100 billion annually.
Our peptide platform is built on years of research into how marine organisms naturally control microbial communities – without killing them.
We replace toxic anti-foulants with biology that is safer, smarter, more sustainable, and cost-effective. By targeting the signals that drive biofilm formation, our technology prevents fouling before it starts, reducing chemical use while improving operational performance.
We believe the future of industrial protection lies in working with nature, not against it.
