Case Study from HydroFLOW Chile
The Challenge
- Mussels and marine organisms built up inside suction lines
- Blockages reduced flow and affected operational efficiency
- Frequent maintenance was needed due to fouling regrowth
- Chemical dosing risked higher cost and environmental impact
The Solution
One HydroFLOW® Custom i20″ unit was installed on 28 November 2024 on the Line 4 seawater suction line, with Line 6 left untreated as a control and 4 inspections over 223 days. Treatment prevented marine biofouling from establishing in the treated intake line, which stayed clear without cleaning or chemical dosing.
