ECOLCELL R electrochlorination system combats both macro and micro marine fouling in the seawater lines on board ships, oil-rigs and power plants. Marine fouling, shellfish, seaweed, slime, bacteria, etc find their way into sea water cooling systems on board ships usually as micro-organisms, settle and grow and if not combated go on to block and partially block pipes, filters, valves, intake grids, heat exchangers etc. and can incur significant costs for the ship owner.
ECOLCELL R operates by using an electrolytic cell containing Titanium anodes MMO coated to transform the Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in seawater into Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) through a process of electrolysis.
This antifouling agent is injected into the sea chests from where it is dispersed through the whole sea water system.
Only a small concentration of this Sodium Hypochlorite is required to combat marine fouling, 0.1 to 0.3 ppm.
