Control Biofouling and lower Fuel Consumption
The LG Sonic devices emit specific ultrasonic parameters in order to prevent biofouling in hulls en sea chests.
Biofilm formation starts by bacteria attaching to a surface. The ultrasonic sound waves of LG Sonic create resonance around the solid surfaces within the water, thereby preventing bacteria to adhere to a surface. EPS, present in an existing biofilm, is directly targeted, degrading the biofilm. When bacteria, algae and biolm are reduced, as a result, the dosage of biocide and/or antifouling measures can also be reduced.
Benefits of biofouling control in cooling basins
Effective biofilm control
Reduces fouling by up to 80% on the hull and prevents the growth of new biofilm.
Decrease dry-docking intervals
Because of the continual protection the hull remains clean with no need for dry-docking.
Safe for the marine ecosystem
Ultrasound effectively prevents biofouling without the use of harmful chemicals and without harming the marine ecosystem.
Improves fuel economy
By preventing the biofilm from growing a remarkable reduction in fuel of consumption is achieved.
Easy installation
Due to our marine grade design mounting footprint technology it is very easy to install the system.
Prevent damage to the anticorrosion layer
Avoid damage to industrial systems such as to filters. The anticorrosion layers will be preserved.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Each LG Sonic industrial-line system has a treatment range up to 10 meters and can be installed in the hull or sea chest. The device can be connected with a cable to a power outlet.
