SALTWATER PIPING

Seawater has many practical industrial applications via the use of saltwater piping.

These applications include cooling, oil field water injection, and offshore oil and gas platforms. Power plants and industrial facilities along the coastline also use seawater daily. Similarly, shipyards use seawater in their firefighting systems in shipbuilding and benefit from seawater’s practical application.

However, these applications are not immune to the effects of biofouling. And as a result, biofouling may create a blockage of the sea suction, sea fire suction, seawater piping systems, and heat exchangers, to name a few—all leading to the potential to shut down critical systems.

Managing marine fouling with minimal maintenance and high reliability is of the utmost importance when considering antifouling solutions in seawater system design.

MARELCO™ is a world-class turnkey antifouling solution that offers a custom-designed solution built for new or existing systems on a vessel or as part of a saltwater piping system.
