Refinery in Rotterdam harbour, The Netherlands
A method to prevent biofouling settlement in sea or brackish water intake and cooling water systems is necessary to help retain their efficiency and integrity. The most common method is continuous dosing with sodium hypochlorite, which is both expensive and environmentally undesirable. A pulsed chlorine dosing technique, Ecodosing™, has proved to be effective yet cheaper and less ...
