Anti-Fouling for yachting
Fouling / Biological pollution
In the maritime sector, the occurrence of biological pollution causes serious disruptions, extensive maintenance and ultimately enormous costs.
Costs are related to damage, increased fuel consumption (up to 30%!) and risks of overheated engines and generators.
Moreover, this can result in dangerous situations when used in harsh conditions.
Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling with Sonihull
The principle of the ultrasonic system is decades old and finds its application in, for example, the medical world to kill certain cells (micro-organisms).
In addition, the American navy discovered that their submarines had biological fouling on the ship’s hulls, but not in the area close to the sonar installation.
This phenomenon was thoroughly investigated and it became clear that there is an interesting relationship between ultrasonic sound waves and unicellular bacteria.
