The Challenges
- Large amount of barnacles on cooling plates
- Reduced water flow lowering cooling efficiency
- Particle filter covered with attached barnacles
- Manual scrubbing damaging the filter
The Solution
One HydroFLOW® Marine Custom 12″ unit was fitted to the seawater feed pipe of Main Cooling System #2 in 2011. The signal disrupts the conditions that allow marine life to attach and grow, so only a thin, easily removable slime layer remained at inspection.
