Case Study from HydroFLOW South Africa
The Challenges
- Biofilm, barnacles and mussels established inside the pipelines
- Reduced effective pipe diameter caused strainer blockages
- Periodic jetting was needed to clear obstructed lines
- Downtime and maintenance burden continued to climb
The Solution
One HydroFLOW® i Custom unit was fitted to a 200mm seawater line feeding Heat Exchanger 4 in November 2023, between the seawater pump and the heat exchanger, with no shutdown required. The signal disrupts the conditions that allow marine life to attach and grow inside the pipework.
