ANTI-FOULING SYSTEM

Ultrasonic systems are the future of anti-fouling. Areas of use include coolers, district heating systems, seawater intakes, boat hulls, and water storage tanks.

Harsonic Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling System

The ultrasonic system generates ultrasonic energy at a range of targeted pulse frequencies. These pulses are transmitted through the material to which the transducer is attached. The ultrasound creates a pattern of alternating positive and negative pressure on the surface of the material. Microscopic bubbles form during the negative cycle and are imploded during the positive cycle.  

This microscopic implosion has a cleansing effect that destroys surface algae. Disrupting this initial link in the food chain keeps the surface clean and makes it a much less inviting habitat for larger organisms that feed on the algae. The microscopic movement of water also prevents larvae from barnacles and mussels from attaching to the surface.  

Effective Bio-Cleaning Without Toxic Environmental Impact  


-

    • Not audible to humans and marine life and without interference with sonar and electronic equipment.  

    • Low power consumption - ideal for shore power and/or battery operation.  

    • Easy installation - no need for boat lifting, no through-hull fittings, no expensive anodes to replace.  

    • Fuel savings - clean hulls, propellers, and rudders can reduce fuel costs by up to 30%.  

    • Reduced maintenance - clean propellers and shafts will reduce vibrations and wear on the propulsion system.  

    • Extended maintenance intervals mean more time boating, less downtime, less or no need for cleaning, reduced operating costs, and cleaner water.  

    • Microbial control – the ultrasonic system reduces diesel problems and keeps drinking water fresh.
