Sea Water Cooling Application with HydroFLOW®
HydroFLOW® enhances the efficiency of seawater cooling systems by minimising biofouling, reducing limescale and corrosion, and improving heat transfer. It helps maintain optimal cooling performance, extends equipment lifespan, and minimises maintenance costs in marine, industrial, and coastal applications.
Optimising Sea Water Cooling with HydroFLOW®
Seawater cooling systems are widely used in marine vessels, power plants, and industrial applications for efficient heat dissipation. However, these systems face significant challenges, including biofouling from marine organisms, limescale buildup, and corrosion caused by saltwater exposure. These issues can lead to reduced heat exchanger efficiency, increased maintenance costs, and costly downtime.
HydroFLOW® provides an advanced, non-chemical solution to protect seawater cooling systems. By minimising biofilm formation, reducing scale deposits, and mitigating corrosion, HydroFLOW® ensures smooth system operation, lowers energy consumption, and extends equipment longevity.

HydroFLOW® Solutions for Seawater Cooling Systems: Corrosion Control, System Stability, and Cleaner Flow
Treats Biofouling & Marine Growth
Seawater cooling systems are prone to biofouling from algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms, which restrict water flow and reduce cooling efficiency. HydroFLOW® helps treat biofouling by disrupting microbial attachment, keeping cooling pipes and heat exchangers free from blockages.
Reduces biofouling from algae, barnacles, and molluscs
Treats biofilm buildup on heat exchanger surfaces
Maintains optimal water flow and system efficiency
Minimises the need for chemical dosing and mechanical cleaning
Treats Limescale & Mineral Deposits
Seawater contains high levels of dissolved minerals that can crystallise and form scale on heat exchanger surfaces, reducing cooling efficiency. HydroFLOW® treats mineral deposits by keeping calcium and magnesium in suspension, treating hard scale formation.
Treats scaling in heat exchangers and cooling pipelines
Ensures consistent heat transfer and cooling performance
Reduces maintenance frequency and chemical descaling needs
Extends the service life of critical cooling components
Reduces Internal Corrosion & Enhances Equipment Longevity
Saltwater is highly corrosive, leading to the degradation of pipes, pumps, and heat exchangers over time. HydroFLOW® mitigates corrosion by reducing biofilm accumulation and controlling the formation of corrosion-inducing deposits.
Minimises internal pipe corrosion caused by biofouling and scaling
Extends the operational lifespan of cooling system components
Reduces the need for anti-corrosion chemical treatments
Improves long-term system reliability and durability
Improves Cooling Efficiency & Reduces Energy Consumption
Fouled heat exchangers and clogged pipes force cooling systems to work harder, increasing energy consumption. HydroFLOW® enhances cooling efficiency by ensuring clean heat exchanger surfaces and unrestricted water flow.
Maintains efficient heat transfer for optimal cooling performance
Reduces flow restrictions caused by biofilm and fouling
Lowers operational costs by reducing energy waste
Supports sustainable, chemical-free cooling system operation
Minimises Downtime & Maintenance Costs
Seawater cooling systems require frequent maintenance to remove biofouling and scale, leading to costly system downtime. HydroFLOW® reduces maintenance needs by treating common seawater cooling issues, allowing for more efficient and cost-effective operations.
Decreases the frequency of mechanical cleaning and chemical treatments
Reduces costly shutdowns for maintenance and repairs
Ensures continuous, trouble-free operation in demanding marine environments
Lowers overall lifecycle costs of seawater cooling infrastructure
