AML - Cabled UV Biofouling Technology
Prevent biofouling on other subsea equipment as described above.
Sensor Drift
Do your sensors begin to drift within the first couple weeks of deployment due to biofouling?
Do you lack the time and budget to keep sensors performing well in-situ?
Are TBT antifouling methods outlawed in your country due to its toxic impact on the environment?
Are you unable to collect enough data before your sensors succumb to biofouling?
Are your sensors` critical surfaces fragile and complex, rendering most antifouling technologies unsuitable?
Do you struggle to bid competitively without risking profitability due to unpredictable maintenance requirements?
- TBT and other toxic chemical dosing methods which are banned in many countries due to their harmful environmental impact;
- Copper tape and other antifoulant coatings, which are not suitable for complex and fragile sensing surfaces, and have a limited lifespan;
- Mechanical wipers which are prone to malfunction and fouling themselves, and are unsuitable for sensitive optical lenses and complex geometric surfaces;
- Chemical pumps which produce acoustic noise that can be picked up by hydrophones;
- All biofouling control methods on the market, which require direct contact with target surfaces (UV antifouling has protected critical surfaces nearly 50 cm away).
AML’s UV Biofouling Control is proven to remove both the technical and financial unpredictability brought on by biofouling during in-situ deployments.
