Maybe. Anti-biofouling chemicals used by most systems are extremely toxic. If a system avoids using those somehow then this can work.

It might be. But I don’t consider this to be a real system until it’s been scaled up and has the cost established. Biofouling isn’t likely to become much of an issue until the system is in use for a time. But since it has no filters it might not need it, I’m not sure.
