Marine Growth Preventive System (MGPS)

The problem of fouling is all too familiar to operators of seawater systems on ships, rigs, oil platforms, power stations and elsewhere. Marine growth, such as molluscs, barnacles, mussels, algae and slime enter the seawater system and find a spot-where temperature, nutrients, PH factor and other environmental conditions are right for settling and breeding. If this settling is not prevented colonies quickly develop resulting in problems such as turbulence, blocked pipes and impaired heat transfer efficiency not to speak of corrosion of the pipes. Such partially or fully blocked pipes can also lead to dangerous situations, particularly with fire­fighting equipment.

MGPS, the solution.

The system consists of a CONTROL UNIT which supplies impressed current to Anodes. The COPPER anode produces ions, which are carried away by the sea water into the piping and machinery system. Concentration of copper in the solution is less than *c parts per billion but enough to prevent marine life from settling Basic principle on which MGPS runs is electrolysis. The process involves usage of Copper. Aluminum and Ferrous Anodes.

 

The ions spread over the system and produce an anti fouling and anti-corrosive film over the Sea Water Pipelines, Intercoolers, Condensers, Heat Exchangers, Valves, Refrigeration Systems, Box Coolers and AC units internally. Increasing seawater circulation and eliminating corrosion in the pipelines, increasing its duration and efficiency.
